To me is the Wizards. Was hoping they would suck again even with the new players (KCP, Kuzma, Harrell) and Beal would get sick of waiting, remember Tatum's recruiting during the olympics and ask for a trade, coming here for Smart + langford and a pick.
So... I'm very disappointed with the Wizards!

I think the answer has got to be the Hawks given many people had them penciled in as the 3 seed with a chance at going to the Finals and right now they're sitting 4 games under .500 with a negative point differential.

2-8 in their last 10

Amateurs.

The trick is to expect them to suck.

Hurts less too :')

Next 13 games.  I'd guess they have at least 8 and probably more like 9 or 10 wins during that stretch and will be back very much in the playoff race as the schedule is very easy.  They've had a brutal schedule to start the year.

Some entertaining west coast games on right now. Lakers down 4 second quarter blazers up one at half.

Hawks are back to .500 winning their 5th straight tonight.  Schedule has been so much easier for them with all 5 of those games coming at home and they are just now back to 9 home and 9 away games on the season.  Starting the year with 9 of 13 on the road and of those 13 only Detroit and New Orleans are below .500 right now.  Just a brutal stretch to start, but they are back on track and are tied with Cleveland for the last play-in spot.

Boston is up to the 6th seed and tied with Milwaukee.  So things are starting to go back to more of the expected.

So... I'm very disappointed with the Wizards!

I was super bullish on the Wiz pre-season - mainly coz I've been super high on Montrezl for 5 years now - probably best contract in the league for many years and it's shame we couldn't snag him somehow.

I'd much rather take Harrel and Dinwiddie than Beal

Celtics played 8 of first 18 on the road and have 7 of next 9 on road as well. That west coast trip being at Utah, Portland, LAL, LAC and Phoenix is brutal and could be the measuring stick as to just where this team realistically stands as a contender in the league this year.

Of course, if they struggle, I expect a resurgence of them to the title as the most disappointing team once again.
