But for real, I'd hate Gobert on the Warriors. I'd hate to see him with Draymond, the dude who has gone out of his way to devalue Gobert whenever he gets a chance.
And most of all I'd hate staying up till ****ing midnight to watch basketball games.
It would be interesting for me. My basketball hatred has gone something like this:
- **** the Bulls and **** Bavetta.
- **** the ****ing Lakers in the early 2000s and extending about a decade. Never hated a team more.
- **** the Heat, I hate them more than the Lakers and the post-Shaq Lakers had my respect for Kobe growing.
- **** LeBron, I hate him.
- The Warriors tanking to screw us out of a pick… then getting good. Man **** those guys. Hard. I hate them more than LeBron and the Heat.
- Damn, I’m rooting hard for LeBron against the Warriors because I ****ing hate the Warriors.
- LeBron joins Lakers and again **** the Lakers.
There’s still a lot… and I mean a lot, of hate for the Warriors and their cocky *** attitude. They eclipsed anything possible for me to hate. And I’ve never rooted against the Jazz in any way (aside from tanking year which wasn’t really rooting against us). It’s antithetical to everything about being a fan. But for all the things that this franchise has done, and not done, to squander the most realistic paths to titles that we’ve ever had, it would bring me nothing but joy to watch them cap all that **** off with a bad Gobert trade, watch him get a few titles from GSW (with me pulling for him), seeing our predictable stagnation, and subsequently see Don demand out. It would be an absolute perfect ending to watch those who have driven this franchise from the regular season champions into a destitute franchise absolutely get their very public comeuppance.
