Who cares? Why can't people just root for and against whatever team they want, for whatever reasons they want? Isn't that part of sports and being a fan? I don't really need a reason to dislike Kobe and LeBron if I enjoy rooting against them.
The term "hater" is way overused, and quite lame.

I wonder if the OP is trolling or not because I've seen these threads once or twice a year for a decade and they've all been the same:
1) I'm an intelligent fan
2) I'm old school
3) I don't understand fans
You can't be 1 and 3.
I believe being old school means being an adult fan before social media and online forums (in your 40s?), but that still doesn't excuse you from not understanding current fans because you're online in 2011.
I can't root for the Celtics because of '08. I'm not old enough to take the pre-'90s losses seriously and I didn't have anyone passing down irrational hate to me so it's really all about '08 because I liked KG and Pierce before that year.
The reasons I might derive any joy from watching the Heat lose:
a) it might be a sign that having two of the top four players in the NBA on the same team might not be enough
b) it would be at least one season of "punishment" for shifting the balance of talent in their favor to such an extreme (even though I understand the "why")
Other than that, I wouldn't be upset if the Heat won because I would hope that it would get some of the "hate" off the message boards and I enjoy seeing the best players validated as champions.
