The season of the National Basketball Association is slowly “swaying”, the teams have played just over 10 matches, and we can already draw the first conclusions. Traditionally, analysts discuss the favorites and main contenders for the regular season title, but today we will go from the opposite and try to guess which of the clubs will be the main disappointment of the season. We recommend subscribing https://mostbet-uz-skachat.club/royxatdan-otish/ to bet even more accurately and keep abreast of all sports news and the NBA in particular.
Chicago Bulls
Many experts say that the Bulls will disappoint everyone in the new season. We partly agree with them, partly disagree, but it would be a mistake not to add “Chicago” to this list. It would be wrong to disagree that the Bulls pose no real threat in a busy Eastern Conference. DeMar DeRozan was great last season and Zach Lavigne was amazing, but the competition in the East is so intense that it will be incredibly difficult for the Bulls to make it to the playoffs with the kind of play they showed the previous season. Lonzo Ball is still in the infirmary and Chicago is forced to play with Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu starting at point guard. I would like to believe that the Bulls will regain their former glory, but at the moment, this state of affairs, apparently, is a long way off.
Finnix Suns
After Finnix players and coaches set a franchise-best regular season record with 64 wins last season, it’s likely that this won’t happen again this season. Chris Paul is not getting any younger, and the Suns have not made any attempts to seriously strengthen the offseason. In addition, DeAndre Ayton is constantly dissatisfied with his position on the site. This season, the team will not be able to count on the help of Jay Crowder, and the competition in the conference has grown even more. There’s a good chance that the Suns will drop down the Western Conference standings and go from being the top team to a playoff contender without any serious ambitions.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Here the situation is quite interesting, as the opinions of analysts are divided. Some experts believe that Minnesota can become the main surprise of the season, while others are convinced of the big failure of the Wolves. Expectations will be very high after trading five first-round picks for Rudy Gobert, but can the Frenchman justify such a high price? The Minnesota still have a problem defending the perimeter from Karl-Anthony Towns, and Gobert is unlikely to be able to bring the same impact to take the Timberwolves to a new level. Of course, there is still talented Anthony Edwards in the team, but it is at least wrong to bet on the fact that a young player will lead a team where such stars as Towns and Gobert play.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas performed well last season under a new coach. But now, it seems that the teams in the league have already managed to adapt to the game of the Mavericks and serious tests will begin for Luka Doncic and the company. Kristaps Porzingis, who now plays for Washington, left the team, while Dallas signed Chris Wood. Will Wood be able to effectively replace the Latvian in the team? That’s another question. The Mavs will still be very good, as will any team with Luka Doncic. But there are many problems that are exposed if you do not take into account the talented Slovene. Suppose that this season, Dallas can fail and will have problems even reaching the playoffs.
