Love the NBA. No particular favorite team. I would like to pull for the Bobcats but until they prove to me that this won't be the 2nd franchise MJ runs into the ground, I'm reserving my support.
If I had to guess I would say this is Miami's year, but Chicago and OKC are more than capable as well.

Don't be a bandwagon fan approo
That's totally different. Bandwagon fans jump on and off with wins and losses. I've never been a fan of the Bobcats, or any team really, in the first place so you classifying me as bandwagon couldn't be more wrong.
Geography alone isn't going to make me all of a sudden start being a Bobcats fan. (I'm not a Panthers fan, OH the horror!). I started pulling for the Ravens because that is the team I felt most attached to when I started really getting into football. I liked the way they play, atmosphere around the team/city, coaching/management, etc. I've never had a particular NBA team that I root for, although until recent years I've just watched it in passing. Now that I've been really into it for a few years it would make sense to pick a team, but I'm not going to latch onto the Bobcats because they are the closest team to me. I hope they do well and I pull for them, but I don't feel drawn to them, or any team, right now and I can still enjoy the sport just fine.

The Hawks really dropped the ball against the Heat. That said/written, I'm a Cavs fan and I was telling my wife today that I'm conflicted: I like the fact they're playing well, but I was kind of hoping they'd be sorry enough this year to get another top draft pick to continue their rebuilding effort...

I would've thought the lockout shortened season would have helped the Celts and Spurs as they wouldn't have to endure the lengthy season. But all that is precipitated by the assumption that athletes should stay fit/conditioned in the offseason, regardless if they can use team facilities or not.

Think of it this way, the NBA season normally has 82 games from October - May. Now they're cramming 66 games from the end of December-May. That's 16 less games in about a month and a half less time, meaning they get a lot less time off.
It'll hurt teams with older veteran cores, but if teams like the C's and Spurs pace themselves, they'll be formidable playoff teams.
And until the Knicks show and semblance of a defensive scheme, they're never going to leapfrog the C's and win the division anyway.
I pull for the 76ers because I'm a big Evan Turner fan, being from Columbus. I'm somewhat surprised he hasn't played better. I thought his skill set would really translate to the pros.

He's actually been playing pretty well this year, coming off the bench. Every good college player doesn't come in and immediately become an MVP candidate.

I see what you are saying and I somewhat agree. Although when you do the math they are only averaging an extra game every two weeks. Sure that makes a difference, but I still think older teams should be better off come the post season than in a regular season. But again, that's based on the assumption guys were actually working out in the offseason
My family's from Boston so my pro allegences are to the Sox, Pats, Celts and Bruins. I grew up where Purdue is and I go to IU so my college teams are local. I like the Pacers and Colts but they're not my number ones.
I went to the Celts Pacers game tonight. The Celtics are actually pretty good for a bunch of 90 year olds.
Sportscenter on Saturday night, "Coming up, Jermey Lin does it again!"
8-24, 6 turnovers. Really nothing to do with Lin himself, but still.
That was easily his worst game. But it did have to do with Lin, who hit the go-ahead free throws with little time left.
Lin himself even said his teammates and defense won that game.
I don't buy the love affair, but I keep waiting for him to post a terrible 7 point, 3 assist, 6 turnover game, and it's not coming. He does turn the ball over too much (he's a rookie, after all), but when he gets hot he's ridiculous.
The Knicks are winning with him because he knows how to play point guard, and can run. They haven't had one of those in quite a while.
