I think fans like to make this up, instead of taking responsiblity for not performing on the court by their team. We are an easy target. No different than the fans of Lebron James blaming the Ohio High School Athletic Association for his problems and suspension, instead of them looking in the mirror at Lebron for his behavior. Everything is always someone else's fault.
I'm with Jeff on this one. I try very hard not to favor one team, but if I catch myself, it's the underdog that's getting my leniency, not the stars. In fact, I'm working hard not to be too tough on the stars. But as to choosing a team ahead of time and making sure they come out on top...

Anyone accuses me of that and they are out of the gym. Period.
