Overrated & Underrated Playoff Teams on 1-5 scale

[coolhandsteve]

Rate each playoff team, based on the common perception of their chances on this here scale:

1- Underrated AF
2- Lowkey underrated
3- Rated just right
4- Lowkey overrated
5- Overrated AF

So for example: No one really expects the Nets to win more than a game (if that) in their 1st round series with Atlanta. I agree, so for me I'd rate 'em a 3.

Portland 5
Hawks 4
Grizzlies 2
Bulls 1

Here's the general Vegas numbers for the title. This might help you decide who's over or underrated. I would agree that Memphis is probably the biggest number on a team that I could at least having an outside shot to win a title.

The Cavs are such a huge favorite to come out of the east, it'd almost be worth just putting down a couple fliers on a The Hawks and The Bulls and just hope something weird happens to Cleveland. I can't see anyone but those three coming out of the East.

I'm looking for the Series Odds, but I guess they're not out yet. When I find them I'll post them. I like to get peoples thoughts on the series numbers.
