Most disappointing teams so far?

[Fire Colangelo]

Pacers for me:

Paul George hasn't turned into the superstar I thought he was going to be, especially after last year's playoffs.

Ellis sucks

Jeff Teague sucks

Al Jefferson hasn't been bullying the bench units as I had thought he would

Only bright spot is Myles Turner.


Wizards are disappointing as well, thought Wall and Beal would be an all star duo this year with them making it back to the playoffs.

wolves.

all talks and no performance.

[Milbuck]

wolves.

all talks and no performance.
They just slaughtered your Lakers...

wolves.

I had them on the list, but then I realized perhaps I had too high of an expectation for them. Towns is only a 2nd year player after all, I should give him another year or two before I can realistically expect them to make the playoffs.

[BigKAT]

You're right about the Pacers.

I'd say Knicks, but I'm not sure anyone really thought it will work out.

So besides the pacers my only disappointment is the Celtics.
Not a fan, but there was alot of anticipation, and people considered them as a real contender to the Cavs. (Me too.)

Standing at 500 isn't horrible, and they did seem to make some adjustments, and Horford was out for a long stretch and all, but still. I hope they can get back on track and give us a good playoff run.

Call me old school, but I think it's fun to see rivalries when a large market team is doing well. (Boston, Lakers, Knicks, Miami etc..)

we came into 2017 season as the worst team in the west, and wolves aimed to be a playoff team.

[oarabbus]

My Warriors have been slightly disappointing to start off, but they're getting it together. I'd say Wolves for sure. Had them as dark horse to make playoffs.

[JebronLames]

Celtics.

[moongaze]

Knicks...

Still waiting on that superteam d.rose was talking about :oldlol:

[NBAGOAT]

Injuries are part of it but Grizzlies. Think most had them in the playoffs.

[SpaceJam]

Celtics, they've been struck by injuries and they obviously will pick it up, buuuuut....L's to Pelicans, Nuggets and Wizards? Two being a blowout 20 point loss

[Prime_Shaq]

Celtics would be an obvious choice but injuries have really fked them over.

The Pacers though, no excuses.

[Spurs m8]

Celtics were never true contenders.

Over achieved last season

[Hakeem Olajuwon]

Celtics' defense
Crowder and Horford are very important

[Sakkreth]

Pacers and Wizards.

Lol at all those east teams that people predicted will surpass Toronto this year, not happening.

I think a lot of teams appear to be disappointing, but certain teams every game is important.
Bucks as an example : can not loss to teams that are sub-typical below 500% teams.
They need to crush those teams as if its a championship... no matter if its the 3rd game of the season, 1st game of the year or 80th game of the season.
They need to make the playoff's , otherwise the franchise and fan's will start questioning Kidd as well as the front office including Hammond.

It's called Desire from 1-15 on the roster , and starts with the coach instilling the will to win.

Agreed. No way we should lose to the Pelicans, even with injuries.

[ralph_i_el]

Wizards are just garbage.

Beal was supposed to be healthy and scoring
Wall is throwing fits
Mahinmi hasn't played yet
The bench has been getting whupped

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Bucks is an interesting one, I guess people have been expecting to break out ever since making the playoffs two years ago. But for me, my only expectations for the Bucks were for Giannis and Parker to improve... which they did. I guess that's why I'm not super disappointed at them.

[smoovegittar]

Gee, I would say the Lakers after all the hype they get in here.

6 - 5? That's a damn shame.

[Jasper]

Like my previous post , you have to take into perspective , some teams are just bad from the start and even though their fans wish and hope , 80% of the league can't be judged until at least 25-30 games into the season.

I am hoping my Bucks have 18 wins by then like most fans with their teams , and if not - a whole lot of speculation will occur.

[Gatorade Sax]

After today I'm definitely going with Wolves (so far).
Picked them to win too many games this year already based on talent alone. Even today I thought they'd take care of the Hornets after a good win against LA, but they just can't put it together.
I'm sure another lottery pick won't hurt them anyway.

Horford and Crowder have been out for like 2 weeks now, 2 of their 3 best players.
