Who's more disappointing so far

[Four4Four]

I would say my Sixers and the rockets so far

 

[bksballer89]

Wizards IMO

 

[bksballer89]

Rockets-get a pass because the injuries and suspensions.

Sixers-been struggling but to be fair, all of their losses came on the road against good teams.

Lakers- I expected them to struggle early on. Schedule wasn't easy and they're a young team learning to play with Bron

OKC- Similar to Rockets. Haven't looked good but they did play 2 games without Russ

Sixers. If we continue to play Fultz 25 minutes a game, we aren't going to beat good teams.

I go with the Wiz. Sitting as the worst team in the league by record and giving up a league worst 125 points a game is sad for a team that has the talent to compete in the East. They will be getting Howard back, at least that should help with the chemistry issues

 

[trojanfan12]

I'd say the Rockets. The expectations were higher for them than anyone else.

Next would be the Thunder for a similar reason.

The Sixers had some high expectations, but teams seem to have adjusted to them and what they do. Now, it's up to them to adjust.

Wizards next, I think we all knew there was at least a possibility that this team would start to fall apart.

The Lakers can't really be described as a disappointment...yet. I think pretty much everyone knew that it was going to take them a minute to get on the same page.

Rockets
If they think they are top tier talent they need to overcome adversity

 

[Black Adam]

Gonna say Rockets, but the Wizards I'm are a VERY close second...

I would have chosen the rockets, but as has been pointed out, they have had suspensions to deal with (though that could be some of the disappointment)

every one of these teams suck or are over rated and the Lakers are were they should be

potato salad

The Sixers losses so far have been @Bucks, @Toronto, @Boston, @Detroit where Griffin shot out of his mind and scored 50 and the Sixers didn't have Simmons.

Would I like to see them play better? Of course. But I'lm ok with them working things out with Fultz on the floor.

 

[Yo Tee]

To me, it's the Sixers. Really thought they would come out the gate hot this year. To me, the Lakers' "struggles" are par for the course to me. Thought they'd be overrated all year because of the obvious. Rockets, I thought they'd be better but they aren't a jarring surprise to me. I think the Rockets can make a comeback, IDK if the Sixers can, to be honest. But the East is so weak, they don't need to make the comeback that a team in the West would have to make.

The Rockets played well last season without CP3 for awhile, seeems like losing a couple of those players hurt. They have to be the biggest disappointment even though they have injuries. Wizards are rigt there too.

 

[Four4Four]

The rockets blew their chance last season. They've lost oo many key role players just acquire one star. And the only players who worked on their craft this off season on the Sixers are Embiid and Redick. If Simmons and fultz worked on something, its not showing up on the court just yet.

I don't think it is fair to say that Simmons and Fultz didn't work on their game in the offseason. They certainly did.

Fultz is still essentially a rookie. There are going to be growing pains with him in the starting unit but they are necessary.

Simmons has definitely been inconsistent so far this season.

IMO, the Sixers are going to struggle somewhat in the first half of the season. But Fultz is already showing improvement. Chandler will eventually return to the lineup which will help a lot. And I'm 100% certain that the Sixers will be shopping for some vets when teams start to fully tank.

Except for their front office, Lakers are seventh in offense with no real shooters and they are panicking.

They're not panicking. Magic had a meeting with Luke and some reported that he was a little heated. That's kind of been his management style since he came in.

Hopefully, someone will pull Magic aside and tell him to stfu.

Reports are also starting surface that the meeting wasn't as heated as initially reported and didn't involve as many people as initially reported.

I'm changing my pick from the Rockets to the Wiz. They aren't an elite team certainly bu they aren't the worst team in basketball either.

They have enough guys who believe they are elite.
