Whoever is playing the Wild. Then I am pulling for the Vikings, Gophers, and Celtics.
Re: What other teams are you pulling for this year?
For me I don't pull for any other teams in the NBA, though there are a few each year that I hope for the worst, the traitorous Lakers always among them. This year I'll also be adding GS to the list as I hate super teams. I didn't mind that they were dominant prior to signing KD as they built that team the right way, not by the Heat method.
I'm the same way with Hockey, pull for the wild, against the Stars and disinterested in everybody else. With football I do admit to having always had a soft spot for San Diego for two reasons, one they're a small market team so they're always the underdog, and second because San Diego is one of my very favorite cities in the country!

Spurs. Love a team that seems to keep reloading.
Re: What other teams are you pulling for this year?
I'm originally from Chicago and I'm a Dwayne Wade fan, so I'll be rooting for the Bulls. I'll also be pulling for the Celtics except when they're playing the Bulls. And I'll also be pulling for the Bucks as a young smaller midwest market team. I'm generally with Q in not pulling for any Western Conference team other than the Wolves. But I've always had a soft spot for the Thunder because of their small market and devoted fans. My affection for the Thunder has grown with Durant's departure and Westbrook's display of loyalty to his teammates and fans. So I'll be pulling for the Thunder except when they're playing the Wolves.

I am probably going to get grilled here, but I always liked the Blazers. They seem to have doen 2 or 3 rebuilds over the last 12 years when we couldn't do one. I also support the Bucks. I like watching the Spurs. To me it usually comes down to if I like the coach and players then actual city.
Re: What other teams are you pulling for this year?
I'm rooting also for Milwaukee even tough I think they won't be good even this year. Greek Freak is just so great player to watch. Seven footer doing eurosteps in fast break is something special.
I also like current Chicago team little bit. Their free agent signings were like a big middle finger to everyone fascinated with advanced stats. Rondo, Wade, Butler, Gibson and Lopez starting five has basically zero above average three point shooters and only Butler and Rondo were even willing to taken them last season.

Yeah, that is quite an interesting mix of players....almost like an alternative version of Golden State, but instead of having three shooters competing for shots you have three ball handlers competing for play making responsibilities. Don't forget that both Wade and Butler spent a lot of time last season being the de facto PGs for their teams. And Rondo is almost worthless without the ball in his hands, so Chicago should be very interesting to watch.

Yup. Spurs have always been a team I admire, and feel compelled to root for. They did not disappoint me last night!
