Most disappointing team in the east so far?

Post by vcsgrizzfan »

I think that in the West, almost everyone would pick the Wolves.

What about the East? Celts? Miami? Indiana?....

In the East, I don't think there really is a team that would qualify. The simple reason is that we all knew it would be the Cavs............and who? Nobody.

The rest of the teams are basically doing what everyone thought, that being mediocre.

I don't know. I certainly expected the Celts to be way above .500 for instance. Going into tonight, they are 16-12. Not terrible, but definitely worse than I thought they would be. I also thought Miami would be more competitive and not stumbling near the bottom.

A lot of 'experts' had them around .500 or a titch above. I thought that was a good guess. They might be a game or two below expectations, but that's about it.

But how good did you think they would be? How many wins at the end of the season did you expect? 50? 55? 60? They are on pace right now for what, 47 wins?

And why did you think they'd be much better?



Oh, be serious, how well did think my Bulls would do?

How about the Great Magic? They were supposed to be Title contenders.


:D

I had Celts mid 50s at least with the addition of Horford in particular and natural development of talented young players.

I think I called the Bulls to be around 42-44 wins but I can't recall for certain.

I haven't watched African Roundball since 2012. I can still tell you the Magic being bottom feeders isn't disappointing, it's expected.

Boston hasn't quite gelled yet I guess. Our defense is awful, but with Horford back hopefully we get better. I really thought the Pistons were ready to take the next step, but while their defense improved from last season, they've been shitting the bed offensively.

Celtics, Pacers are easy.

I am disappointed in the Pistons; I thought they were about to turn the corner (still could, but we'll see.)

Everyone except the Cavs and Raptors are horribly disappointing.

No doubt it's the Bulls.

They have shown to have the highest ceiling of teams in the East, but also some terrible lows.

So the magic with 9 new players and a new coach are perfectly gelled?
No, like I said, by all star break
