Which NBA team has been the most disappointing this season? SIChrisMannix and HowardBeck debate
. How’s that? A team steered by James, still very much near the peak of his powers, by the way, with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, is not one of the 10-best teams in the Western Conference. To me this isn’t even debatable. Beyond James’s brilliance, this was a season where everything that could have gone wrong, did.There’s no denying the Lakers were an epic, unmitigated disaster. Given expectations, this might be the most humiliating season in franchise history.
There were no such reservations about the Nets’ Big 3. The Durant-Irving-Harden triumvirate had been dominant in their short time together last season. They were supposed to be the greatest offensive unit ever assembled. But Irving’s vaccine refusal and his ineligibility for home games handicapped this team from Day 1—and ultimately sparked Harden’s trade demand.
Simmons might eventually be a perfect fit alongside Durant and Irving. But making his season debut in the first round of the playoffs seems less than ideal. I’m not sure they even make it out of the first round.. They aren’t exactly steaming into the first round, but with a play-in win over Cleveland, they will get a wounded Boston team that will be missing defensive anchor Robert Williams.
