I feel the same towards the Celtics, but I really enjoy watching the Mavs and like their team. I do find myself rooting against Embiid's 76ers a lot though, and I was quite happy to seem them eliminated by the Knicks last night.
Upon thinking more after reading your post, I think the dislike stems from the player(s), not from the team; at least that is the case for myself. In the case of the 76ers, I think I just don't like Embiid, period. The way he carries himself, the way he speaks about things, complains about thing, and the way he cried after the Raps eliminated them in the 2019 playoffs. Maybe he is a great and likeable guy, but the public persona that he put on is one that I dislike; and as such, I tend to root against his team along with him (maybe the correct order should be root against him along with his team).
As for the Celtics, I share the same feeling with you that there is something off with JT and JB, especially JB. As such, I find myself rooting against the Celtics because of their star players.
I've also come to really dislike Embiid, but I like a lot of the other guys he plays with. I feel similarly about KAT and the Timberwolves. I'd like the team a lot if they get rid of their star player (thankfully Ant took that team away from KAT).
