Should #Spurs fans root for #Thunder or #Heat?: http://t.co/MWxbthxn

On Wednesday, it’ll be a week since the San Antonio Spurs’ season ended at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs are now beginning their transition into the offseason, as they are getting ready for the NBA Draft and some of their own players are getting ready to head to London for the 2012 Olympics.

The Thunder meanwhile are at home preparing to begin game one of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. There’s an interesting question that has been brought up, which team should a Spurs fan root for in the Finals?

I think there are three types of fans out there: the sore loser, the person who wants the Western Conference to remain superior to the Eastern Conference, and the general fan who just plain simply loves the game of basketball.

The sore loser

This is your buddy who is still angry the Thunder defeated the Spurs in six games. This person still, after almost a week, can’t believe James Harden hit critical three pointers in back-to-back games against the Spurs. They can’t believe Derek Fisher’s corpse is still a nuisance even after he got traded from the Los Angeles Lakers, and this person just can’t stand the fact that Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Harden were just too much for the Spurs to handle.
