    We don't have any rivals. And there really aren't many rivalries in the NBA today. I would say Heat vs Pacers is one. Warriors vs Clippers, maybe? but that's about it.

      Warriors vs Clippers is one, even if they deny it. And it's great viewing!


      Bulls vs Heat had lots of potential, there was definitely a lot of tension there. Irrelevant without Rose though.

        Real 'rivalries' are formed in the play offs. Not amongst teams in the regular season. We have no rivalries. There may be teams that there's dislike with but that's not a rivalry
        I agree with the above, and although I don't think we have much of a rivalry with any team in particular, there is one NBA team that we've lost to in a playoff series and that we've beaten in a playoff series... they were both consecutive series as well.

        So my answer is the NY Knicks

          I'd say the Knicks and Nets. Both are division rivals, both are somewhat close geographically, and we're the biggest cities in our respective countries. I don't think we need to play them in the playoffs to make it a rivalry. We just need to start winning the division every year and both teams will come to hate us.

            Rivals are made in the playoffs, and both teams have to win a series before fans and players on both sides consider it a rivalry.

            Raptors have no rivals yet.

                Orlando, maybe. They beat us twice in the playoffs.
                The nets for sure, fleeced us in that trade and beat us in they playoffs.

                  Nope...actually no team has beat us twice in the playoffs. NY is the only team we've faced twice. Beat them once and lost once

                    My bad, they beat us so bad it must've felt like twice

                          The Pacers for sure. Especially if we face them in the playoffs and beat them.
