orlandos lost to milwaukee, toronto, philadelphia, detroit, memphis and utah twice....those are just the bad and medicore teams.
nobodys saying lakers and magic arent good. they are just too highly rated and acclaimed. lots of people consider magic a top tier team. not even a step below.Comment -
Overrated - Atlanta Hawks
Underrated- Memphis
How are people saying the Lakers are overrated...I'm not a Lakers fan at all (I am a Suns fan)...lol apparently the Rings makes them overrated....they are in a slump right now but will still be in the Finals with that experience and leadership....someone who said Lakers are overrated please give us a reason why? 34-16, this year so far and back to back championships...best coach in the NBA....how are they overrated?Comment -
over/LA
under/phxComment -
Then you might as well saythe Heat..as they were supposed to win close to 70 games. I looked at orlando and they have played some close games vs NO/OK city?Boston..not sure I'd say they are overrated..they are not losing in the first round....Comment -
10-6 in January and with some close losses to v good teams..I think they are a top 5 team in there conference..Comment -

most underrated timberwolvesComment -
Oh and iforgot the clippers as underrated teamaswellComment -
I knew other people already commented on this post but WOW. Really? I guess being the best player in the NBA is his definition of a cancer. Just another jealous KOBE hater.
Oh, and Lakers are not overrated. They have been to the Finals 3 years straight and still have a great record. Get a clue guys. There in a slump just like every year. Playoffs is where it counts.Comment -
Good thread guys. Here are the correct answers:
Most Overrated
1. Utah
2. Atlanta
3. Charlotte
4. Dallas
5. Oklahoma City
Most Underrated
1. Houston
2. Orlando
3. Memphis
4. Milwaukee
5. Minnesota
I made the lists by finding the teams who had the biggest difference between their actual record and their performances when comparing factors such as schedule strength and margin of victory.Comment -
over: Dallas, Atlanta, Knicks
under: Philly, PortlandComment -
Right now:
Overvalued: Magic, Lakers, Clippers, Utah (but lines are adjusting), Pistons (slight), Knicks
Undervalued: Philadelphia(but lines are adjusting), Cleveland (just starting to imo), Charlotte, Milwaukee, Kings, Suns (slight)Comment -
Most overrated : Dallas, NO and Orlando
Most underrated : Philly, Sacremento and DetroitComment -
The Lakers are overrated because many people believe their PAST success gives them free reign to play however they want to play, lose however they want to lose, to whoever they want to lose to, and still be considered the best. What have they did this season to show they are the best? Nothing.. People are still visualizing them holding the championship trophy last year and somehow believe that they are so far ahead of every team in the league, that they can "turn it on and off" whenever they feel like it. That makes them overrated because there isn't a team in the NBA who is legendary enough to do that...Comment -
Not sure what ratings mean, but the best/worst ATS are:
1. Philly 31-16-1
2. Memphis 31-18-1
3. New York 29-17-2
4. San Antonio 29-18-2
5. Chicago 28-18-2
Worst:
1. Cleveland 17-31-1 (haha they're still "overrated"?)
2. Washington 18-30
3. Sac 19-26-1
4/5. Lakers and Magic 21-28-1
Based on this I'd tend to say:
Underrated -- Sixers and Grizzlies
Overrated -- Lakers and MagicComment -
Doesnt surprise me at all, almost no one follows the Grizz (even in Memphis no one gives a shit) but they are actually a fairly good team this year with a winning record 26-24 despite an 4-9 start to the season, since then theyve beaten Miami, Dallas, Lakers, Orlando, OKC, and lost in OT against San Antonio in San Antonio
How the Clippers or Memphis dont top your most underrated is beyond me, these are teams regarded as trash that should both be in the playoffs, when you say teams like Indiana and Detroit are underrated, that may be true but they also suck so its hard to really underrate them
When I look at teams that are overrated I am talkin about teams that are made out to be championship contenders yet have no fukin prayer like Orlando, I mean unless they shoot 60% from 3 they aint gonna win a championship.
When I look at teams that are underrated I am talkin about teams that have beaten several of the top teams and probably belong in the playoffs but are just completely overlooked, the Clippers and Grizzlies are forgotten teams that are pretty good at knocking off top teamsComment -
Overrated : Mavericks
Underrated : PortlandComment -
That is ridiculous that Cleveland is worst ATS, **** they get like 15 points every game they play, they're playing Memphis next game and even overlooked Memphis is giving them 14
Cleveland is making Lebron look better than Jordan, I mean even if Jordan left the Bulls they wouldnt have been getting 15+ every game and never coveringComment -
Overrated: Orlando Magic Ny Knicks and Lakers ( I respect that the Lakers have won last 2 years but they are overrated this year)
Underrated: San Antonio SpursComment -
This team has nothing other than Howard defensively or offensively (Arenas may have been the most overrated player in the league when they gave him his current contract) but is somehow believed to be a top team, there is no way this team could ever knock off the Celtics or Heat in a series, hell if they got knocked out 1st rd I wouldnt be shocked at all
When your #2 player is Nelson whose like 6' you're in fuckin trouble in the NBA, hed be a great bench playerComment -
NY/San Antonio, in that order
