My opinion is that two teams are the max you can love. I also have the Bulls and Bucks as my two teams. It may even be wrong to like two teams in the same division but I don't care. I am actually looking forward to this season more than I have in years. Hoping to dive back into the NBA a lot more this year, maybe even attend a few games. |

of course. i think the more you love a certain sport it's only natural to begin to like certain players and teams outside of your local team my original 'other' team was the Warriors, Run-TMC era and I still like them and follow them then came the Timberwolves, originally only because of KG but I also really liked a lot of their other players like Brandon, Gugliotta, etc. finally there was the Hawks so I have 3 "other" teams....but I guess i don't really follow the Wolves at all anymore so it's more like 2 |

As long as you do not go W_Z crazy and like basically every team, then like as many as you want. |

For any sport, I think you can like 2 teams max but they have to be from opposite conferences. |

Only one basketball team though the Nets moving to Brooklyn may change that. One hockey team. Four NFL teams. Bears are the clear #1. Saints #2. Jets and Broncos tied at 3. 1.2 baseball teams. If I don't move back to Chicago and get surrounded by the Sox/Cubs stuff I may become both a Sox and Cubs fan. Four is the maximum. |

Great. I really wish Missouri had a NBA team I could like along with the Bulls, but until then I will have to like the Mavs along with the Bulls. |

That said, I agree with Douchebag that he's starting to lose it a bit I really miss Chick Hearn |

Keeping Score wrote: Bagels....do you think the coaching change in Atlanta will result in a basically flawless transition? Do you see the Hawk getting better or worse? sadly, i seem them treading water they're obviously not better than Orlando or Miami, and probably Chicago. I think a 4-5 seed is pretty likely. I've said before, I think they're in (again, B&&) NBA hell right now. The only way I see them getting better is if they get rid of Bibby and get a real PG . I actually like Teague but he is far from ready. I obviously really like Josh Smith and Horford, and even Joe- but I don't see any of them making some giant leap....I think they've kind of maxed their talent out. Horford could get a little better- last year he did add some weight and his post moves are getting a bit better but I doubt he'll ever be a 20/10 guy....maybe 15/10 |

Bulls.. ...used to like the Sonics.. the McDaniel-Ellis-Chambers Sonics. Kinda fell off in the Kemp/ Glove era. I guess that means I should like the Thunder.. but I haven't seen a lot of them. New for this year- I'll add any team playing the Heat on a given night |

As an NBA fan, I think it's reasonable to like as many teams as you want. I like the Mavericks, Da Boo, Oklahoma City, the Lakers, the Bucks, and the Grizzlies (I'm a Gay kinda guy). |

My favorite "other" team was the '93 Suns with Barkley, KJ, and Majerle. The McDaniel/Ellis/Chambers Sonics teams were before my time. Didn't see Chambers till he went to Phoenix but he was awesome. I loved the Sonics with Kemp, Payton, and Schrempf and I was heartbroken when the Nuggets eliminated them in '94. |

Also love Ernie, Kenny and Charles. Can't get enough of Hubie Brown. Enjoy Marv Albert......hard to get that whole panties thing visual out of my mind though. And all the storylines are just incedible this year. Bucks, Bulls with like 7 new players on each team. New coach. Raised expectations. The Heat. Celtics with the Oneal's. Hawks with a new coach. Lakers getting even stronger. And on and on and on........ it's going to be alot of fun! Uh.... I may have to meet you at the Bradley Center and buy you a beer. |

I find it very hard to actually like and pull for more than 1 team in any of the major sports except for college football where there can be an assortment of teams to go for. I can go for different teams on a situation by situation basis but as far as year in and year out its really only 1 per pro sport. |

(not Iverson) I wasn't kidding about this. I want answers!!! Bagels??? Anybody?? I think "HotLanta" has a double meaning. 1). Because people say it's really hot in Georgia 2). Because of the night life |

NFL - Bears, Chiefs MLB - Cubs, Dodgers, A's, Orioles NHL - 'Hawks, Bruins, Penguins NBA - Bulls, Spurs, Mavs The other teams that I follow aside from my #1 teams in each sport aren't teams that I would rabidly root for, but I can say that I've liked them all since I was a yute, and always want them to do well unless they're directly competing with my team, whether it's head-to-head or in the standings... edit: oh, and in the NBA, it's anyone playing against the Heat, as well

Anyone can like as many teams as they want. I like collections of good players or individual players on certain teams. The only situations where the 'brand' of the team is more important to me than the players themselves are the Cubs and the Bears. |
