Why aren't there more Thunder fans in Northern California? Seems like everyone there wanted the Warriors to win. I JUST DON'T GET IT!

 I was rooting for Golden State to win 73 games but also wanted OKC to mush their faces.

I will be rooting hard for Cleveland in the Finals.

Curry is arrogant and Draymond was a bitch in the WCF.

I don't think Cleveland stands a chance.  Kyrie and Love are going to have to play out of their minds for it to be close.

I don't know any NBA fans in Iowa, Missouri, or Kansas that have a strong dislike for either OKC or Golden State. I also imagine its it's difficult most NBA fans who live in either place to have fierce loyalty to any NBA team given the only team even close to being local has been around for 8 years.

Yes, this is what I was trying to say in a certain way, but twitter would make you think otherwise. I would imagine most of the ppl in these states are casual fans as well, if they're fans at all.

Yeah Cleveland has been playing very well and will be rested. Plus they are actually capable of making 3 pointers  (lots of them) to keep up with GS.

The NBA is about to make the other American pro sports leagues look like a bunch of peasants.

Draymond and the Warriors eventually did the right thing.  An adequate way to end this season.

I am one of two Timberwolves fan I know and my fandom preceded my residency here. I don't know any Bulls fans, I don't think they are considered the local market. Most NBA fans around here are Warriors fans because of Harry Barnes. The Warriors and T-Wolves are covered as the local teams by the news stations.

yes, when he struts around like a tough guy but resorts to flailing nut kicks it's hard to enjoy his tremendous versatility.   

I will be rooting for CLE, I would love for Lebron to get one there and it is super easy to hate Frisco fans.

Between the Giants, Dubs, and Sharks it is hard to root for the Bay Area right now.

LeBron is still the best basketball player on the planet. He almost won the Finals by himself last year. If Kyrie gives him any help at all the Cavs will win the series this year.

I'm a Nuggets and Timberwolves fan myself. South Dakota tends to cover those two the most as well.
