My favorite teams
hard to say.. there's a few teams that are playing well that don't get enough credit.
Phill and Indy are getting some attention, but I don't think they're getting enough credit. Philly's 3rd in the east now, when everyone [or most people] expected either NY, ORL or Boston to be #3.
Even though SA finished #1 in the West last year, I still feel like people underrate them. They're #2 in the west right now, and the only teams in the west that you hear about are the Clippers, Thunder and Lakers still for some reason.
The Rockets have been playing well too after a slow start to their season.

Utah is pretty good. But Philly is my choice.

I have to agree with a few of the guys with Denver on this one. A team that has no superstars and has players playing in China. That is one tight unit they have there.

The Denver Nuggets shouldn't have been a surprise to anybody. The Philadelphia 76ers have surpassed my expectations though. The team that has really surprised me the most is the Houston Rockets. They are a very deep team and McHale has done the job for them.

I've been fortunate enough to have the time (and $) to buy and consistently watch NBA League Pass this year. So along with seeing all of the Bulls games, I've seen at least a little bit of every other team. Which makes this a fun question to answer. And I know I mentioned something along these lines last night, but the Houston Rockets are my choice for the most underrated team in the NBA. They don't have a star, but they have one hell of a deep squad. Goran Dragic, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill and Courtney Lee all make significant contributions off the bench. Kyle Lowry is playing at an all-star level, Scola's remained as the go to guy in the post, and Kevin Martin can shoot you out of the gym any given night. They brought in Dalembert at Center, which solidified the defensive presence in the post they'd been missing. Houston's fun to watch, good un-selfish, team basketball. Daryl Morey has done a really nice job with this roster. Rockets will be sneaky come playoff time.

I'm not 100% sold on the Rockets making the playoffs but they could make any series difficult.

Gregg Popovich really is the best coach in the NBA. That team really has no business with that great of a record yet they do.

I really think they should consider trading Ginobili to try to build for the future though.

Yeah the Spurs are definitely underrated as well. They always seem to fly under the radar
