I was definitely hoping they had good games, but it in the end i wanted the Cs to pull it out.

Yes, but then he dropped a spin into and up and under shake on KG and I regained my love and devotion (no homo :D ) for the guy. But seriously, the absolute beauty of a guy who excels at a rare, extremely effective, and dying basketball skill will never go unappreciated by me, Not to say I also do not fully understand and take into account his shortcomings as a player.

But after KP, your C play? You broke my heart Fredo.

I was hoping Jefferson, Gomes, and Green would do well. So in a way I was rooting for those 3, but not Minnesota overall.

I wanted us to win, but i wanted it to be close, with us winning in the final minutes. so it went pretty much how i wanted. good for us (win), good for them (tank), good to see Al + Bassy and the guys play well.

I was openly rooting for Al and Gomes, especially Al...more than I thought I would to be honest. It was nice to see Telfair to play well but I'm not a big fan of his. Personally I think Tefair is playing for a contract, every time I've watched him this year he has played very well. No doubt though it was nice to see those guys play well and the C's still pull out the victory, great game.

Nope, can't say that i did.
I was hoping Gerald went 0 for 22 from the floor.

Since I was 10 years old, I've only rooted for one NBA team to win and that will never change. That is what a real fan is.

I was hoping to coast on a double digit victory. Who the players are on the other team doesn't make any difference to me. I am following the career of ex Celtics I grew attached, but I hope they all fail miserably when they play us.

I was hoping for the Celtics players to do good. Not the Former-Celtics-Now-TWolves players to do good or win. They are not Celtics now. They never even gave anything to this organization except for getting us KG.

No frickin way would I cheer for the opponents. This is crazy talk. I respect Big Al and Gomes, but I wanted to destroy the Wolves.

I wanted total domination of the worst team in basketball. I'd have been content with a 50-point humiliation complete with Al Jefferson and Ryan Gomes going 1-36 from the field.

I was rooting for the T-Wolves/Ex-Celtics to do well against us....I am always used to rooting for the underdog anyways.

Hell no. Who would root for those losers? Root for the guys that gave us our worst season ever? Why? Do you root for Hugh Millen?
