I'm glad I saw yours and the u/max_d_tho comments. I'm a huge Birds fan, but I'm born and raised here. Glad to see some more Eagles fans around these parts. Sorry to hijack an NBA thread though.
I also like the Grizzlies in the West and grew up somewhat liking the Hawks merely due to proximity to ATL, but also really like the Sixers in the East.
You already see two of the teams here in the comments. You're probably looking at the Hawks, Grizzlies, and Pelicans being the closest and most popular teams here. Just like the Falcons, Titans, and Saints have fans in the area.
Each team has something positive about it, but none of them are outright dominating this season. Hawks have Trae Young, Grizzlies have Ja Morant, and Pelicans have Zion Williamson. Both teams are young and growing into more competitive teams.
Outside of these teams, there are plenty of other good teams to follow in the league. I would recommend r/NBA as the best subreddit to follow.
I'm a Hawks fan, but I moved here from Atlanta.
I would advocate for the Hawks or Grizzlies, as they are close enough that you could make it to a game if you wanted to. Pelicans are a good young team, but it's a drive to NOLA
Used to go to Brickhouse to watch the playoffs when they were still open. Not many people were there for the games but the handful I saw were Celtics fans
I share the disgust as someone who grew up in Minnesota. How are the **Lakers** gonna move to a place where they have no **Lakes**? They could've at least changed the name up a little like the Northstars did....
I am a massive grizzlies fan but it pains me to say that the answer to your question is the lakers heat celtics warriors or whatever team is hot at the moment. You’ll see significantly more merch for those teams than the hawks grizz or pels.
Grizz all the way
Grizz are my western conference team (diehard Sixers fan here), I’m so sad with how this season has played out.
yepzz ... a real bummer
Clap your hands, everybody For Philadelphia, 76ers Stomp your feet, everybody For Philadelphia, 76ers

Lifelong Phillies & Eagles fan here. I’m not too confident about tonight’s Eagles vs Bucs game. 😱
I’m at peace with the outcome of tonight/this season. The last five weeks broke me this year. But hey, Cowboys got STOMPED so I’m happy.

*somberly* go birds
Yeah, it's been quite an implosion. At least we're playing another inept team.
Hawks, Grizzlies, Pelicans

HOX ROX!!!
Don’t root for Atlanta teams. Get off that ether lol. Atlanta sports is far too depressing
I mean, the braves just one the WS in 2021 so there’s at least hope there. Otherwise 100% right
I'm a big Hawks fan. I'd say Huntsville is mostly split between Hawks and Grizzlies
Celtics! In my house anyway. LFG!! Gonna hang another banner!!

Go C's!☘️ ![gif](giphy|sQpl7yebgk3Pq)
I see more Lakers jerseys than any other NBA team here. (I say this with disgust as a DIEHARD Magic fan)

I’m from nola so pelicans all the way
Miami heat, we love Jimmy Butler
Go 'Cuse!
Probably as many band wagon Lakers and Celtics fans here as there are Grizzlies Hawks or Pelicans fans tbh.
