    Two different questions lol. Title and this question here.

    Biggest disappointment? San Antonio. They should be playing better than they are right now, even without Manu.

    Biggest surprise? Atlanta Hawks. I love these youngins. I dunno how they are doing it, but they have been playing well.

    Oden for sure, i was really excited to see him debut and show the league and its followers the kind of skill and potential he has, but he just cant hack it physically, is a walking calamity, and wont be able to fully realize his full potential, its sad, not just dissapointing.

    Im suprised that marbury and tinsley are still being paid for being dumb ass thugs who do nothing for anybody but themselves. what assholes.

    i think the sixers, losing 4 games and getting hammered by the heat, have been pretty disappointing so far along with the spurs

    Devin Harris.

    Oden obviously. The NBA scheduled huge match up games for him right out of the gate and he's been a no show due to another injury.

    Biggest disappointment: Spurs. I think they'll eventually rebound, but for a team that I think should be in serious title contention, they have looked just awful.

    Biggest surprise: Suns. I expected them to be this year's edition of the 2008 Heat (though maybe not that extreme), but they've been unbelievable out of the gate. And unlike the Spurs rough start, which I don't think will last, I think Phoenix is for real.

    I agree with Devin Harris. I was expecting him to go for 17-18 and 8 this year. He has really underperformed and needs to step his game up.

    I don't see why people are ragging on the Spurs. They don't have their best offensive player right now, so you have to expect that they're going to struggle a bit out of the gates, trying to find people to replace him for the first couple months. I think they're going to be alright and I expect them to start winning some ball games now that they've got that first win under their belts.

    Hey, Marbury made that really cheap shoe, that's not selfish.

    Or is it? If it was expensive, would anyone have bought it?

    Biggest Disappointment - Monta Ellis falling off a moped.

    Biggest Surprise - Vladimir Radmanovic playing defense.

    i agree. i don't see why the spurs are a big disappointment(though i disagree that they are without their best offensive player. i'd take both duncan and parker over manu). the spurs have 3 very important players on their team and one of them hasn't played yet and another just got hurt. i would expect them to stay below .500 until they get at least one of those guys back playing.
