Based on 190 NBA player responses. http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1150379/index.htm Houston is 4th at 10% Lock if posted already.
Well they won't vote teams that are horrible so I would expect us to be on the list especially since this team has a lot of guys with no playoff success.
These results aren't that significant. A team must have a good record to be considered "overrated". I would say there are about 10 teams in the NBA considered "good" and therefore would be the only teams players would choose to be overrated. As a result, the percentages for each of these teams are clumped together around 9-11%.
I can't believe the Cavs aren't the screaming number one team. By a wide margin, the Cavs are my most over-rated team.
I think that's because we lost to so many bad teams like clipers, knicks so their players may think we are overated, but I will say we are unconsistent rather than overated.
Rockets fans don't think the Magic('s) are good because Yao owns Dwight every game. Magic are pretty legit.
rockets are not overrated outside of houston but these nba player probably think yao and/or tmac are overrated therefore rockets too.
agree 100% I don't know any other team more over rated this year and has more media hype than the Cavs do, their record is very misleading and Ive seen them struggle significantly against good teams, Lebron may do what he wants against scrub east teams but come playoff time I dont see them being contenders
The Rockets came from virtually "nowhere" every year they made the finals, according to some. This means nothing. At all. If not a motivational tool.
Who cares? In my mind the Cavs and the Magic are the most overrated teams considering their records against the above .500 teams.
the cavs are incredibly overrated. the magic are a great matchup for us, but against the rest of the league, I actually think they're a good team.
