Teams you hate to watch play

[Dr Aj]

Are there any certain teams you refrain yourselves from watching at all? Or maybe there's just some teams you will watch sometimes, but don't like the way they play?


I've taken up a recent hate on the Celtics, Magic and Mavericks.

I watched the Magic vs Boston on Christmas and yesterday. All i see is complaints. I hate seeing players complain and saying and 1. Rasheed Wallace got teched the other day for yelling and 1 directed at the official.

Dwight Howard complained on every foul he got, watch the replay and you see a clear chop of the arm.
Paul Pierce and his shit little antics. Pushing Matt Barns in the face.
Players continuely saying and 1.
Vince Carter being ice cold, again. Fans booing.
I hate Eddie House and how he just shoots and shoots. Jameer Nelson, learn to pass the ball.
Ray Allen, you're a superstar. Kendrick Perkins, get a real face on ya.

Dallas, they don't interest me one bit. little JJ Barea runs around like a little mouse, white and annoying and vermin. It's mainly just Dirk and his shit little turn around on the post against smaller guards as they switch on the screens.


There's my rant, what about yours?

Boston, easily. They are the most cocky team and also the whiniest by far. The worst part is they play more physical defense than any other team in the league, yet they get away with so much of it that it really puts opposing teams at a disadvantage. And then of course every time the refs call a foul on them they bitch and whine like nothing else, when in reality there could be a million more fouls that go uncalled. I absolutely hate KG, there are few other things I can't stand more than him. He is allowed to literally grope Bosh on the perimeter and doesn't get fouls called, when it is a clear violation of nba rules. Fuck I hate that team.

Lol, quit bitchin' guys. I like to watch all of the good teams in the league, that's why I never thought of San Antonio, or Tim Duncan, to be boring.

Boston blew away the Lakers in the 08 Finals, but I still thought of it to be quite entertaining. I don't hate to watch the Wizards play when they're actually winning, because that's a rare site to see. But they're blowing it, even with the talent they have. Stupid mother fucker say that Washington is better without Gil, but I'm not seeing it. They even have Earl Boykins and Randy Foye for backup point guards to replace Gil. I'm a proud Wizards fan, but I can't eat when I watch them play because they make me sick.

barnes really got in pierces face first bro. After pierce fouled dwight.

My old man goes for the C's so I kinda have to like them. But the only guy I really like on that celtics team is ray allen.

Rondo needs to shut his god damn mouth. He wouldn't be half the player he is if he didn't have a talented team surroinding him. The guy can't shoot a jump shot further then twelve feet from the friggen basket and is an overated defender.

Barnes gave Pierce a massive push in the back on the rebound, before Dwight got fouled. It started with Pierce pushing Barnes in the back first. watch for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF0z3ZBZSFs

The Lakers also frustrate me, with all their whinging as well. Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol with their ohhhh or and 1's.

the team I hate watching play are the lakers. Just seeing all those celebs in the crowd having a populairty contest and trying to look pretty when the camera is on them shits me off to no end. and if I see Jack nicolsons wrickled up old saggy face one more time I will hurt somebody. Most of these celebs don't even like basketball but they think its a trendy place to hang out. Here is a idea. How about giving those tickets to some poor kids from the ghetto who love the lakers and basketball and would give their left arm to go to a game but can't afford it? instead of looking "trendy" at a fuckin basketball game cocksuckers!!!!

[berrys]

I really don't like the Cavs mainly because of Lebron James. Classless, always travels with the basketball and his whining about non calls when he misses a lay up would get most players a tech foul everytime, needs to grow up a bit.
Why does everyone not like Rajon Rondo the kid plays hard everynight and it doesn't matter whos on your team you still need to have talent and skill you just don't become a all star for no reason.

I never thought of it like that, but good point. Though I have seen Jack Nicholson get into the game, I remember him yelling at the ref when San Antonio was doing work on LA in the 03 semi finals. I agree with the most part, but they're just living the life of millionaire celebs.

As for giving away tickets, well they do start donations.... but them giving to charity compares to us giving a dollar to our friend so our friend can buy a soda, or whatever. Bill Gates, Bernard Lagat, and Alonzo Mourning are some of the few rich men who actually give a shit about others.

Yeah LeBron is known for that, complaining about calls is getting played out though. It's not like the ref will change his decision. If I were in their shoes, I would either leave the ref alone, or I would purposely get kicked out of the game just to relieve stress.

Lol which Rondo are you looking at? Maybe Rondo looked better than what he really was on the first year of Boston's big 3, but he's definitely developed now. On Christmas Day, he was the MVP of the entire day. He was the reason for Boston pulling through against Orlando, and he has led Boston through plenty of other situations. He doesn't have a jumper, but that's not what his game is revolved around. He puts a lot of effort on defense, and he's a great rebounder for his size. The Big 3 used to make him look better than what he is, but on some nights he's the very best player on the team.

Put him on a team like the t wolves and he will be exposed. His assits are overated as he is playing on a team full of vetrans that can shoot the ball.. i sore jason williams get open to many times the other day for a wide open three .. jason williams for gods sake. He is hugley overated.. who cares if he can rebound the ball a bit? thats what you have bigs for.. hell marcus thornton can rebound the ball as well.

Yeah maybe he would get exposed but only his lack of a jumpshot all the other things would be the same league leader in steals top 3 in assists and a great rebounder for his size. Don't all teams have good shooters or guys that can shoot maybe not as good as Allen and Pierce but they can knock down some shots

the guy has been playing with three mutliple ex all stars and a very experinced rasheed wallace. They are all still very good players. Most teams don't have that level of talent on thier roster. Pierce and allen can create their own shots off the dribble. A lot of guys can't do that. ... wallace is an excellent pick and pop guy. Teams can't double down and cramp rondo because they know they have to guard those guys as well.

His steals are overblown because he can gamble and knows he has 3 bigs that can protect the paint.. perkins, wallace and garnett.

[MeloMan1015]

San Antonio, their gameplay is just soooo boring
dallas is boring to watch also, no excitment

[p00ka]

Celtics. KG has been exposed as a dumb bully since arriving in Boston. Pierce has become a punk since KG arrived. As OC said, the team gets away with mugging. I do enjoy watching them get beat though.

This dude became the starting point guard of a championship team the year after he was backup for Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair. I would agree with you if this were two years ago, or even last year; but he's definitely one of the most improved players in the league. From what he's learning, I don't think he would be exposed now. Just because he has great shooters on the team doesn't mean that his assists can be blamed, he's doing the job of what every other point guard should do. On defense, he has a high average of steals and he still doesn't foul as much. That's smart defense, and he's insanely quick. Yes, you do have your big men for rebounding, but that's no reason for Rondo to decide to not grab the misses. Rondo has been giving Boston possession of the ball, and second chance points.

it's not just the shooters that boston has. Its the guys that can create their own shot. Pierce, allen and garnett can all obviously create their own shot. And wallace is one of the better pick and pop guys lin the league.

Take the hornets for example. Teams often double down on paul and cramp him for room and dare him to pass the ball because they know no one else at the wings spots can create their own shots... you can do that with boston as allen and pierce will burn you on the wings or garnett will create his own shot on the high post.

so your saying if the celtics had guys like peja instead of pierce or allen on the wing with his chronic back probelms and often goes 3/12 or 5/15 from the field and had david west and okafor instead of garnett and wallace that rondo will still average the same amount of dimes?

[teee]

The Cavs. LeBron pisses me off for the same reasons berrys said earlier, acting like a complete dumbass, classless clown, yelling about no-calls while the rest of his team has hustled back on D (the funny part about him complaining for calls is he gets them ALL THE TIME in crunch time).

[NBAmixesWK]

I like watching every team play. Maybe not the Nets though....I want to watch a team who can actually win a game.

Rondo is the only guy I like on that team. I think he is an elite player, probably the most disruptive defender among pg's who can really take teams out of what they want to do, and offensively he is still developing, but with his quicks he can get into the lane and cause havoc. He isn't a great scorer, but he is a playmaker and that is a good thing to have in a pg.

I hate watching San Antonio, don't really like TD very much and there style is slow and boring.
Also i hate watching most Lakers games because they are played on TV over here almost every game they play and i would much rather watch another team play

[stubbs]

I find Orlando quite boring, they shoot too many 3's and don't use Dwight enough in my opinion, I also don't really like watching the Bucks play, I find them boring and always have, but hopefully Jennings and Bogut will make a very entertaining duo for years to come

[Dazed]

I hate watching San Antonio (too boring), Cavs (Lebron whines a lot), and Celtics.

[Derr]

Bump. I don't know if I already said this, but the Magic. Vince Carter can be an exciting player, but obviously he's been in a slump lately. Dwight Howard is the best player on the team, but he has no offensive game at all.

The Magic and Hornets are on right now, but I really don't know if I feel like watching the Magic play.
