What NBA team is your most respected, after the Celtics?

Just a quick slow season poll.  Pick a team that you respect most, after the Celtics.  Respecting a team for it's conduct as a franchise in the league doesn't necessarily mean you would rank them as your second favorite rooting interest.  For non-Celtic fans on the board, select your team or the next best in your opinion.  The Celtics have been left out as a choice for obvious reasons.

You can vote and post who your choice was, and why, or just vote.  No criticism of others choices, please!

I went with San Antonio, largely due to long-term record of consistent management and coaching style/philosophy. Bonus points for thriving in a relatively small market.

NYCelt,
So did I, for the same reasons.

Lakers - Management provided the horse's - the coaches sharpened them for the race - and the players consistently rode them to victory.

My first instinct was to vote for my new hometown's team, but the Hornets just haven't earned my respect.

I had to go with San Antonio.

I went with Golden State. San Antonio is the obvious answer but I've followed the Warriors since I lived in the Bay Area and the last few years has been awesome for their franchise. Being able to land Durant was just a bonus.

I really really wanted to vote for Brooklyn but the headline sez respect. lol

After I voted, I gave it a little more thought and I do think San Antonio is probably the hands on winner. I voted too quick. Oh well.....

Sorry I cannot vote

Unless they are in green they are the enemy.
