I think all NBA fans should be routing for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year. The city of Cleveland has been in the NBA since 1970 and have not won anything in their history. It's the main reason Lebron was drafted and came back after leaving. The Browns and the Indians will just maintain the winless drought of Cleveland and the cavaliers finally winning is good for the NBA.

Thanks for the love, I appreciate it. But, a good portion are going to root against the Cavs because they love to root against LeBron.
The Thunder can't win. As has been documented by many sources for several years now, there is a problem in that franchise that starts at the top...
They've enabled and coddled KD and Russ for years; it is absolutely a star-centric organization. Scott Brooks isn't the best coach, but they gave the man crap--consistently one of the worst benches in the league. Some genius (Presti) decided he didn't think he had to keep Harden, and failed to find a suitable replacement. Even worse than that, this team has been a liability for years defensively. As great as Westbrook and KD are, we know what their shortcomings are, and yet the Thunder have decided to persist with business as usual. Neither are strong enough to lead a team by themselves, and it has become apparent that they lack the fortitude to even do it together...
KD has long been overrated. He is a one-stop shop, a man who is a scoring sniper with a deadly shooting touch and shooting range. But he has never been a great defender--he's improved as his career has progressed, but he's a liability. Even more troubling, he certainly isn't a TRUE leader--if he was, Westbrook wouldn't take over and tank games for them, season after season. If he was, he would have grabbed Parker last night. If he was, he wouldn't be such a passive decision maker on the court. I question his killer instinct--he is a shooter, but I question his killer instinct and his passion for the game...
Westbrook is probably a better leader, as he seems to put the team under his will, but he isn't a "true" leader, either. The Thunder goes as he goes, and this late in his career, he can't figure out that the team follows his decision-making? He just can't shake bad decisions, he reminds me a lot of Tony Romo. An otherwise great player with HOF talent, but he isn't clutch or a true leader of men...
This team has to be blown up. Give Billy Donovan a frest chance. I mean, its probably too late now, but I'd like Donovan to get the chance to construct the roste rhow he envisions it. Keep Adams and Westbrook and let Durant leave and build the roster right from there. Durant leaving could be the best thing to happen to this franchise, the best thing to happen for Westbrook's maturity, and the best thing to happen for Durant in finding his way to a legitimate contender...
