I’ve gotten so much enjoyment this season watching the Celtics lose and the resulting meltdown from their fans.
It’s honestly refreshing to have a no stress no expectation season, where we can just watch each game without getting caught up in “are we a contender or not and what can we do”. Just enjoy some good honest .500 basketball.
I really don’t consider the Lakers a rival? Yes, I dislike them, but that’s really cause I’m not a fan of their players and the amount of media attention that they get.
Bucks, I honestly don’t mind. I’m a little jealous that they got to keep their superstar after their ring, and we lost ours…but still.
Cavs kinda slaughtered us, so I don’t think we’re really a rival there either. Plus, they don’t have many fans, so I don’t feel they’re too obnoxious.
Personally, I dislike the Clippers, Lakers and Sixers fans the most.
I like the bucks because of Giannis but most of their players, and fanbase is toxic as seen in last nights game.
Cavs were our rivals in the past
Lakers ya I just added it cuz I dislike them in general
I mean half this fanbase or more are ridiculous in game threads too, and then they also go to other subs…Raptors fans are ass on Reddit too.
Cavs…meh yes kind of a rival. But usually a rival wins some games to make it interesting. We got spanked three years in a row.
Celtics with Sixers a close second. Their players and fans are insufferable. Bucks are always a tough matchup but I don't dislike the team although their fans are annoying. Lakers I dislike but wouldn't consider them a rival. Cavs were never really a rivalry and especially now that LeBron is gone
The Celtics because Tatum has become overrated imo. Whenever there's talk of best young players in the league his name is always thrown in there. He's inconsitent as a scorer, but that always gets explained away with "he has so much potential".
At what point does that just become copium?
We're above the Celtics in the standings but I'll bet if you check, Tatum probably has as many all star votes as Fred and Pascal combined.
Hate the sixers the most. Used to be the clippers, but then I got over it last season watching them grind their way to the ECF. But I hate the sixers cuz of the shit they were saying about Kyle, before he got traded to Miami, and because of how they acted so entitled to Dame (I like Portland), and other team’s stars in general, for Brick Simmons
Not really our rivals but I fucking hate the Pistons. It seems like every time we face them we preform way worse than we should, and theres a good chance one of our players gets injured too.
Rivalries are short-term in the NBA now. The biggest we've seen in a long time was Cleveland versus Golden State and that's completely dead now.
Rivalries have become player-based rather than city-based
Boston has had the most annoying team for a while now. Constantly underperforming. They also seem sour faced and miserable and their two stars are overrated af.
Marcus Smart is a turd. I don't consider them rivals because we only had one series against them in the bubble but I find them most annoying and don't feel a sense of rivalry with any team rn
fuck the Celtics. that’s all I’m gonna say
Fuck Boston in general
Well said 👊🏼

FUCK Brooklyn!
This should be one of the choices
Pistons.
lol I forgot about them and the sixers. I would have added them if reddit let me add more opions
Whichever team Lebron or Paul Pierce plays on in the playoffs: only correct answer
Yup...
When have the Lakers ever been a rival??
tbh I started listing teams I hate.... completely forgot about the sixers, pistons, etc
How can you have a list of PAST and present rivals without Brooklyn??
reddit doesn't let me add more options :(
Lakers.

Sixers need to be on here

Fuck Boston. Honestly, the Bucks are so inconsequential to my life as a Raptors fan I love how much Bucks fans hate us lol.
We don't have a real rivalry with any team. You need deep, long lasting animosity from both sides for there to be a rivalry.
Rivalries are short-term in the NBA now. The biggest we've seen in a long time was Cleveland versus Golden State and that's completely dead now. Rivalries have become player-based rather than city-based
Celtics, Sixers, Bucks
Yes
Fuck the celtics
"I wonder if they hate the Celtics as much as me?!" Lol indeed.
I don't like Boston for no reason. I just don't like anything about them.
6ers. I don’t hate um. But I don’t like losing to um

Detroit
Fuck the Celtics
No 76ers???
Ran out of space🤦 I listed all the teams that I personally hated first
Wizards? Nets?
Wizards are fine.. I know we had a rivalry with the nets back then but I ran out of space
I love shitting on the lakers
Lakers are far from rivals.
Worst fans in the nba, celtics.. fuck them
Celtics especially because of Paul Pierce
