I have a lot of respect for the Pistons because they took us to the wire and gave us a good championship series, and their fans here are pretty classy. I guess I liked MJ's Bulls back in the day, but so did a lot of people.
Beside the Spurs, do you guys root or at least appreciate an other NBA organisation? (based on its History, its players, its city, or its fans)

I can appreciate the Lakers org. just because they've had so many great players, and they've perennially gotten back into contention time and time again as opposed to other teams in the league with histories (small market - Atlanta Hawks, and Large - NY Knicks)
Their fans since 2000 were obnoxious during the three-peat. So many blind bandwagon people. But some hardcore fans seem to be genuine despite it all.
I've always enjoyed the Jazz, simple, tough basketball. In many ways similar to the Spurs with good team orientated play. Despite Malone/Robinson thing, Both Malone & Stockton would fit the Spurs mold well. Modest, hard working & efficient.
I like the Spurs aside from the Spurs. No really, I like the Spurs.
Pistons....Still have the same core like the Spurs. Play a lot like the Spurs. Gave us a of a series in 05...
Also Utah..Especially when AK47 is playing well. They are tough to beat, and proved it in the runup to the Finals last year.
Also enjoy watching games like Suns v GS...Run and gun with both teams makes for a different type of game.
My favorite non-Spurs players are Baron Davis and Mike Miller, so I guess I have to like their teams too.
jordan era bulls.
does that count?
The Heat
I'm a south FL boy, I can't help it!
Pistons. They play our way.
I usually cheer for any team with a Slovenian player (except for Vujačič-he aint slovenian anyways)
but besides that i respect and wish succes to the Pistons
atm i also like the Hornets (coach,players, etc)
I live in Milwaukee so I am a big Bucks fan too, even though its not always the easiest
I've always liked the Warriors, they are right next to me.
If the Spurs can't win it all this year, I would root for the Celtics, mainly because I would like to see KG, Allen and Pierce get a ring. I also liked the 90's Jordan Bulls back in the day.
Warriors - because they strapped it on the Mavs last spring
Heat - because they "stormed" back into the NBA Finals and beat the Mavs
...but seriously
Pistons - Dumars keeps that organization in perennial contention
as for me,
it would be Orlando without any rational reason yet
The San Antonio Sporks....
Seriously though, probably the Pistons. They're worthy opponents, and they play with the same team mentality. They're definitely don't play pretty, but neither do the Spurs.
Pistons and or Rockets.
