Who has been disappointing so far this NBA season?

Let’s start with LeBron James who is, by his lofty standards, taking a rare excursion on the struggle bus.

Take Bridges off that list

jay-b-eazy.bsky.social•148 days ago

Time for him to retire or ask for a trade. Would rather the lakers spread that money around to get solid role players and depth. Or send him to a team that is ready to win now that can manage his minutes where’s the lakers can get a decent hall.

markkasss.bsky.social•147 days ago

Don’t come for my boy Scoot.

cbr266.bsky.social•147 days ago

Jamal Murray needs to be at the top of this list.

denvertetrarchy.bsky.social•147 days ago

How can you make a list like this and not include Jamal Murray?

lukemeister.bsky.social•147 days ago

"Eric Gordon ... aspires to improve enough to be replacement level" 😳

scoozypaesano.bsky.social•148 days ago

Bridges doesn’t deserve to be on this list.

tcannon.bsky.social•147 days ago

Stephon Castle on the Spurs is looking like a solid #4 pick.

xxoddjobxx.bsky.social•147 days ago

Bro is 40 how is he on this list lmao

dinobot2.bsky.social•148 days ago

Lebron James on this list is nuts. Aside from his PPG, everything else is basically close to in line with his career averages.

jed1.bsky.social•148 days ago

he is playing all time bad defense though and it’s killing the lakers. he went from easiest assignment on D to playing none.

and I think he’s the goat so this isn’t me headhunting here.

dinobot2.bsky.social•148 days ago

He has been close to a defensive zero for at least a couple of seasons though.

amblingwombat.bsky.social•148 days ago

Isn't Scoot in his second year? Give the kid a chance

scottdolan.bsky.social•148 days ago

Bridges has gotten off to a slow start while adjusting to a new team with many moving parts. He is already showing signs of being just fine.

gailbud.bsky.social•148 days ago

That Olympic performance fooled everyone

jlk7299.bsky.social•148 days ago

the only thing disappointing about Clingan is that he got hurt.

the only thing disappointing about Castle is that he doesnt have an identical twin.

tripleathe2nd.bsky.social•148 days ago

As a Spurs fan that didn't watch UConn much. I am really impressed with Castle. Wise beyond his years.

thechefniko.bsky.social•147 days ago

Pretty amazing the ignorance Hollinger achieves year after year.

duvallwj14.bsky.social•147 days ago

Yall got lebron up here like he's scored 10 points per game! No one on the lakers are playing good defense right now. Terrible take!!

jdub420.bsky.social•147 days ago

Lakers need to trade LeBron and AD!! Start over JJ is the right coach!! Do t give away the 1st rounders, add to them

daga16.bsky.social•147 days ago

What the hell is Trae Young doing on that list ?

ijspeelman.bsky.social•147 days ago

Mikal Bridges being disappointing offensively and the Knicks having the number one offense in the league was not on my bingo card. I know the Knicks are hoping he can get back to a mix of his Nets offensive creation and Suns defense

wayne1213.bsky.social•148 days ago

Philly has been a trainwreck. #1 most disappointing, but I'm surprised to be honest. When you trust Embiid to lead you this is what you get. He lacks accountability and is the #1 finger pointer. At #2, I'm going with Tyrese Haliburton. He's been horrible.

acphila.bsky.social•147 days ago

this is easily and im not joking, the stupidest thing ive ever read on this website.

phildicarlo.bsky.social•148 days ago

You call out Halliburton and Turner but I expected Nembhard to make a leap after what he showed in the playoffs. That team is puzzling.

nickshanmac.bsky.social•147 days ago

Nembhard deserves a pass for now, as he's been out with injury most of the season. As for the team, with the exception of maybe one game, I haven't seen the rapid tempo that was so effective last season. Injuries to their top defenders & Haliburton's slow start hasn't helped either.

phildicarlo.bsky.social•147 days ago

He has been hurt but before that he was basically similar to LY not showing what he did against the Celtics in the playoffs. I expected that to be a catalyst for him. I think you are right, and maybe it’s the injuries but they haven’t been playing as fast this year.

midrangehoops.bsky.social•147 days ago

I would add the Indiana Pacers, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Brooklyn Nets' tank to that list.

realfshawn.bsky.social•148 days ago

Sixers entire team lol

playingawaygames.bsky.social•148 days ago

At this point, given his age and the miles on his body, LeBron is definitely not disappointing in by book.
If he is to people, they have their expectations way too high.

jamescarlo.bsky.social•147 days ago

The league is a disappointment: players missing games, constant three point shooting, poor defense, and rampant traveling. The NBA has allowed the product to be steadily diminished.

walkerp.bsky.social•147 days ago

You clearly don't actually watch the NBA.

jamescarlo.bsky.social•147 days ago

I don’t watch a lot until the playoffs. 82 games make the regular season mostly irrelevant. And the overall level of play doesn’t warrant my interest.

walkerp.bsky.social•147 days ago

Can't argue with that. It's your choice. There's been some great ball this season, though.

davidpenna.bsky.social•147 days ago

LeBron is only going to agree to be on this team if you add Bronny, which would actually make the roster even more accurate.

tb2111.bsky.social•147 days ago

Imagine averaging 20 and leading the league in assists and still being called a disappointment. What are we doing here.

tripleathe2nd.bsky.social•148 days ago

How has Steph Castle been a disappointment? Or Dalton? I don't know about that general statement of top 15 draft class.

walkerp.bsky.social•147 days ago

Kyle Kuzama?! You had high expectations for him at the beginning of the season?

mflowers7.bsky.social•148 days ago

NBA Refs have been historically bad this year!!!

walkerp.bsky.social•147 days ago

That's a good one, but we didn't have much expectation they would improve either, though, did we?
