Ok, let me clear this up; Being in the area of CA right in between LA and San Fran (thus not far from Sacramento, either), I can tell you that everyone is rooting against the Spurs due to the way they play the game; even people who root for anti-Lakers teams would prefer watching the Lakers style to the Spurs yawn-flop-yawn-pay off the refs style of play. In addition, the Kings traded a number of their players, which makes the Kings fans pissed off at the ownership, and they want to root for a different team in an attempt to flip the owners off (Look at how 99% of Seattle Sonics fans are going to root for their rival, the Blazers).
Interestingly enough, San Antonio was picked in an ESPN poll as the team people least want to see in the Finals (in terms of the remaining teams, in both the Eastern and Western conferences). Really, people either want LA and Boston to play one another again, or see LA and Detroit play one another in the Finals again (this would be the fourth time, with the last time being at the end of the Shaq/Kobe era in 2004)
