OT: I'd like to see the Bucks win it all

I am not a big NBA fan, but live near Oracle and so keep up with the Warriors so my neighbors won’t think i’m a worse idiot than I really am. Is the hate for the Warriors about specific players, or a general Damn Yankees sort of thing? I find Steve Kerr a sympathetic coach, Steph Curry a star who is easy to like, and their general style of ball impressive. Would appreciate understanding why they fall into the anyone but category away from this part of the world.
I don't particularly dislike them. It just gets boring when the same team wins all the time (unless its my team). Also, there was probably a little bit of anger when Durant decided to join the already best team in the league. Just seemed kind of cowardly. Go build your own superteam like LeBron did!
I don't hate the Warriors but am just frustrated that they keep beating the Rockets year after year. And honestly, I respect them even more this year after they did it without KD.
Curry and Thompson seem like good guys. I respect and admire Draymond for his hustle and high basketball IQ. They're an excellent team, and at some point, you've just got to tip your cap.
Seeing Thompson play so well makes me scratch my head. I was not very impressed when WSU just beat the Cats in Pullman at the end of his senior year. I saw him against Cal tha year too, and am still very surprised by his success in the NBA.
Really? What made you doubt his abilities? He was a two-time first team All-Pac10 selection, and he led the conference in scoring his final year.
I know he scored a bunch, but seeing him in person and on the tube against the Cats, he struck me as being like Shurna, a good college player but not likely to make a dent in the NBA. I was clearly wrong. I did not think he was as quick as he has proven to be, and I did not think he had the physical strength to play the defense he does. He was on a team that had a shortfall of talent and he shot a lot, which led me to think he was a big fish in a small pond.
