    Question Biggest letdown team(s) of the 15-16 season ?

    What are the teams that will disappoint you the most next season from projected expectations ?

    For me, in the East it would be Milwaukee. Nice talent, but I dont like their spacing on offense and dont have the best interior defense. They should be great defensively on the perimeter, though. Out West, Memphis could be breaking down. Gasol peaked and overall the style Memphis plays just will further wear them down.




    Any other suggestions ?

    For me it's the LA Clippers in the West. Crazy talent like the years before but won't be able to take the next step (like the years before).

    On the other hand its the Cavaliers. Several all stars colluded in the east to get to the finals with ease but one round vs the West will be too much again.

    The West was never "too much"... GSW looked horrible against the Cavs. The betting odds have Cavs as a favorite because they too see that a healthy Cleveland team would have demolished GS.

    I'd say the Heat, they were a pretty big letdown last year, and have the same potential to be a bigger letdown this year. Either they'll be really good, or they'll be the East version of the 2013 LA Lakers.
    The Bulls won't ever be a letdown because I realistically have 0 faith in their title hopes after the past 5 seasons.
    The Clippers though have a huge chance to be a massive letdown. Now there are no more excuses, they have an elite PG, an elite PF, an elite C, a good collection of shooters and a strong bench; still though, they are unproven, and last years playoffs don't really inspire much confidence

    Spurs. They are considered near locks for championship but despite picking up the biggest free agent available, they are still depending on Duncan to keep delivering despite his Methuselah status.

    Clippers of course. Best PF, best PG, top 5 Center in the league. Players returning(Rivers, Crawford, Redick, etc.) a long with some awesome additions and great shooters. If the Clippers don't win it all, it would be considered one of the biggest let down in NBA history.

    The Heat. Everyone is expecting them to give the Cavs a scare, but I just don't see it. Wade and Bosh just aren't winners. At least not without a top 10 GOAT teammate next to them.
