Miami-Indiana?
Miami-OKC?
It was Boston-Miami but it obviously isn't the same since Pierce & Garnett are in BK.

Knicks-Nets
though they both suck right now, every time they play it feels like a game 7

Thunder-Warriors? :confusedshrug:
There's no hated rivalries anymore... well maybe a lot of teams in the East hate the Heat, but the Heat beat them and then the other team gives them daps in the middle of a game.

That's why I asked the question. I agree. Just wanted to see what everyone thought was the best one if there is one.
Heat-Celtics was for sure. Not the case anymore.

OKC has no match against Miami.
Best bet would be Miami vs Pacers :bowdown:
or Lakers vs SPurs

Of course it's Miami vs Indiana, now that Rose is back on the bench again. WC doesn't have anything close to a rivalry

Pretty sure OKC and Rockets is gonna be a rivalry knowing that theres a punk on that team trying to injure players.

Pacers/Heat will be one these next few years.
I want Rockets or Warriors vs Thunders to be one doe.

Probably Pacers/Heat...
Sorry, we have Lebron and George high5'in each other in the middle of a playoff game.
That ain't no rivalry to me.
90's Knicks-Pacers, Knicks-Bulls, Knicks-Heat... those were rivalries.

There are no rivalries in NBA.
Fake rivalries created by the media.
Proper rivalries are Celtic-Rangers, Barca-Madrid etc. That's about politics, religion and so on.

I need to see some bad blood between the two.

Yup. Every game between those teams ever since their first playoff match has been brutal. They clearly hate each other. :bowdown:

It's the only great match-up in the East. I can't wait until next Tuesday. Shit should be epic.

Wtf is with everyone saying Indiana - Miami.
That ain't no rivalry, yes, they are great games because of the level of competition. But no rivalry.
You don't go giving hi 5's during a play off game with your rival.
Memphis - Clippers is probably the closest, and even that is a slightly watered down version of what we use to see.
Off the top of my head, about 5 or so years ago, it was always good watching Denver - Lakers and the matchup between Kenyon Martin & Gasol.
They quite often push each other into the camera dudes and such.

Clippers/Grizzlies easily.
In 2012 and 2013 combined they both had the same exact record (96-52) and each beat the other in the playoffs (7-3 for LAC in 2012, 6-2 for MEM in 2013).
They both legitimately HATE each other unlike the other "rivalries" named in this thread.
For instance:

In terms of on-court play and matchups this season, GS and OKC. I don't think they show the emotion to trump the rivalries that legitimately hate each other, but man have their meetings been fun to watch.

Heat/Pacers is not a rivalry. They don't have bad blood between each other and Heat fans don't hate Pacer fans like they do Knick and Bull fans. Same thing with Boston. It was hardly a rivalry... it was just two teams that met each other in the playoffs. We're so quick to throw that label on things.
Lakers-Celtics... now that's a rivalry

I don't really sense much of rivalry between any team in the league, to be quiet honest.
