Many things here. 

1) Our slow start.
2) Bradley's shot.
3) Guy being out of shape.

I'm going to have to go with the whole Jeff Green thing.  I remember thinking after we were eliminated last year we still had a chance to be competitive going forward because of him.  With his potential and a full (well as close to full as possible) training camp I thought he could be a great complimentary player and have a shot at sixth man of the year.  When he went down I lost hope for the season.  But after watching Bass and acquiring Pietrus, my hope has been restored somewhat.

KG was by far the biggest disappointment early on.  Looking better lately though.

Disappointed in how little Wilcox has been able to contribute so far.

Easy one.

Biggest disappointment is that Ainge has been unable to upgrade the rebounding and offense, either one of which spells doom come the playoffs. With both as problems, the C's are a non-threat.

A move is necessary if the C's have any hope of doing damage in the spring.

Well they just out rebounded the Pacers and the Magic who are two of the best rebounding teams in the league- with two of the biggest players in the league.
I wouldn't call them a non threat. If our defense keeps up like this we are easily a top 6-8 team.
Only two teams in the league with defense as good as ours right now are the Heat, Bulls and maybe add the 76ers.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Two games really don't count in isolation.

Really, the team looks about the same as last year. Same problems, same strengths. Wasn't good enough then, probably won't be good enough for more than one or, at the outside, two series victories, this year.

Expect a move or two from Ainge.

IMO
1. The Jeff Green situation was just a bad coincidence so I don't blame no one and I wish best luck for his life.
2. I think Kenyon Dooling is the primary letdown because while reading articles in December, it was frequently mentioned that he'll be healthier than D West. Plus I still dont see what Doc sees in him... literally, Moore takes good care of the ball as what he did in his games anyways. My last point about Dooling is that we never really saw a game that he 'showed up.' Some would say "Its because he never played enough games" but I don't see that point used by Sasha, he contributed to the team critcally on more than one occasion. IMO the solution to Dooling is to somehow package him with others for Kaman.

Who are you most disappointed on so far?
Dooling has had respectable games. Try looking back at games before generalizing about players.

Dooling has missed 3 more games than Rondo. Are we going to start comparing Rondo to D West now? Guys get hurt. It happens. But Delonte is different because he hurts himself by trying to do questionable things in the name of effort.
