Surprise: Portland Trailblazers. They lose the #1 overall pick for the entire season. I figured they would be way below .500 and miss the playoffs again.

Disappointment: Miami Heat. This is the team that won it all two years ago. Last year they didn't get off to a great start but still made the playoffs. I can't believe they're dead last in the East.

Suprise- Moon being our starting SF

Dissapointment- Fords injury, and Bargnani's slump.

Surprises: Portland; Chris Kaman; Boston's bench
Disappointments: Miami; Houston; rookie class

Great contribution.

Surprises: Portland, Lakers, Isiah (I said he'd be fired before the end of the 2007 calendar year), Celtics (didn't think they'd be this good)

Disappointments: Shaq, Bulls, Rockets (Tmac), rookie class, Oden.

you are lying if you anticipated MULTIPLE double double games from Hump and big game at this point of the season!

So that's my surprise

disapointment... like everyone else. I didn't expect Bargs to shoot like 30%

surprise: Orlando, Boston's d, Jamario Moon
Disappointments: charlotte (they looked better on paper), Rookie Class

Surprises - A team with VC or TMAC can't go forward. ROY so good for Portland. Also that the coach of the year has his players competing with each other and not against the other team (ball movemen tof last year) and yet to find a rotation healty or not.







Disappointments - Bag-barfi's ball-chucking play compared to all second year players and some first year players.
Minnesota's team, I know they are young and do play hard but with so much so called talent I'd figure someone other than Jefferson would emerge.

Surprise..Humphries Jamario,
Let downs..Bargnani, i expected 16 and 3 at least

Disappointed in Houston, they're more talented than they have been in yrs, should be a top 5 western conf team

Surprised at the Knicks, people had them makin the playoffs wit the addition of Randolph but in their case, talent doesn't equal success

Suprise: Boston-Dwight Howard-Chris Kaman-Hornets

Disappointments-Miami-Houston-Andrea-Steve Francis

Are you suggesting that VC's teams have never improved from one year to the next ("moved forward")?
