reasons to root for every team in the nba playoffs (or not) western conference edition
thunder
pros: they're young they're fun maybe they can make something happen in the playoffs
cons: maybe some other team should have a turn, basketball timothee chalamet
nuggets
pros: jamal and nikola need to renew their wedding vows
cons: repeating champs would be a little boring, Michael porter jr
timberwolves
pros: again, small market team finding success! very cool
cons: their vibes are a little off it doesn’t seem like everyone is friends with each other 😭
clippers
pros: plz can russell westbrook get a ring, the clippers franchise in general has suffered a lot
cons: james harden? Not a con to me but i understand if someone feels that way.
mavs
pros: luka is a good player, idk what’s going on w maxi kleber and dwight powell but it makes ppl on tumblr happy
cons: mavs fans do have a certain vibe to them (must be the Dallas aura, which is not as bad as say the Cowboys but that’s bc historically the mavs haven’t been good). Kyrie lowkey but he’s been on good behavior lately so hm.
suns
pros: i would like beal to beat the statpadding allegations actually
cons: kd still hasn’t paid his karmic dues from winning in golden state after leaving russ in okc. booker is a little annoying. Best case scenario is that beal is the best player on the team during the playoff series (doubt)
lakers
pros: omg postseason lebron idk how much more we’ll get of that
cons: it's the lakers... they already have had a championship in the past five seasons.
pelicans
pros: a new team in the playoffs, maybe they’ll figure out something in the postseason
cons: no zion for the postseason, also they are kinda just there
