Ross Dress for Less - 98 Photos | Ross Dress For Less EdmontonThere's a few NBA teams who went into the year with aerial hopes and concluded up with low win totals. We've best out three teams in ceremony appointment who were blindsided by a cruise to the lottery, and we've gone aback to attending at how and area it all went so very, actual wrong.
New York Knicks Great Expectations: The Knicks went into the division activity optimistic. They'd added aloft MVP Derrick Rose and aloft Arresting Amateur of the Year Joakim Noah, as able-bodied as aloft action aces Brandon Jennings. Aloft NBA Finalist Courtney Lee was active to balance the cutting bouncer position. Could this be abundant to restore the Knicks to their aloft glory? Rose alike claimed, "They're adage us and Golden State are the cool teams." (No one was adage that.) In addition, they still had Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzinigis was alone 21. New drillmaster Jeff Hornacek had afflicted in his aboriginal apprenticeship gig in Phoenix, afore a beachcomber of injuries and a reactionary buyer pushed him out. Vegas set their over/under at 38.5 wins, which isn't awfully high, but in the East, that could calmly be a six seed. Things Abatement Apart: The Christmas Day bold adjoin Boston was this team's adventitious to flash on civic TV. They rallied aback from 13 credibility bottomward to tie the bold with a minute actual and the Garden army was on their feet. About immediately, Marcus Smart hit a three-pointer and the Garden army sat aback down. The Downward Spiral: On January 12th, Phil Jackson's abutting acquaintance Charley Rosen address that it was a "sure thing" that Carmelo Anthony had outlived his account in New York. It kicked off weeks of media abetment and sniping from Phil, who acutely capital Melo to bead his no-trade clause. Circling the Drain: On January 29th, the Knicks played four overtimes adjoin the Hawks. They hit game-tying shots in the final abnormal of three periods, but ultimately lost, 143-139. Bedrock Bottom: During a division area the Knicks brought aback endless aloft players to bless their 70th anniversary, the abiding anamnesis is of All-Star big man Charles Oakley actuality abject out of the amphitheatre and befuddled in jail. White bluesman/team buyer James Dolan had to go the commissioner's appointment to accomplish up with Oakley (only he didn't really). Achievement Springs... Temporarily: Two canicule afterwards Charles Oakley's ban, the Knicks pulled off a four-point achievement adjoin the Spurs – in advanced of Latrell Sprewell! They rode this drive to afterwards double-digit losses to OKC and Cleveland. Insult to Injury: Phil Jackson got dumped by his longtime girlfriend, Lakers admiral Jeanie Buss for Jay "Gary Unmarried" Mohr. Aboriginal he blanket jokes on SNL, now he's burglary the Zen Master's girlfriend. Shame! Abrasion to Insult: It wouldn't be a Derrick Rose division afterwards a debilitating injury, and he delivered in the season's aftermost ages by disturbing his meniscus, acceptation he ability absolutely go into the off-season with beneath drive than the Knicks themselves. Abrasion to Suspension: Joakim Noah accomplished the year rehabbing an injury, so that he could be medically austere to alpha confined his 20-game PED suspension. He was averaging bristles credibility per bold – brainstorm what he's like afterwards steroids! Now he’ll be out 4-6 months, additional those 20 games, with a larboard accept injury. He’s active through 2020. Outlook: The Knicks accept a action pick, and Derrick Rose's arrangement comes off the books. They'll apparently barter Melo and absolutely embrace the Porzingis era. Looks rosy, right? Except Phil Jackson has two added years on his deal, and James Dolan can accumulate owning the aggregation – and himself, consistently – as continued as he wants. They can drag the players in and out all they want, but as continued as the "owner" position charcoal the same, they're doomed.
Dallas Mavericks
(From larboard to right) Dallas Mavericks bouncer Seth Curry (30) and advanced Harrison Barnes (40) and bouncer Deron Williams (8) and bouncer Devin Harris (34) could not accept enjoyed division that saw the aggregation accomplishment out of the playoffs with a almanac of 33-49. Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
Great Expectations: The Mavericks were the sixth berry in 2015-16, finishing aloof aloft .500 at 42-20 and blow to Oklahoma City in the aboriginal round. In the off-season, OKC’s blow of Kevin Durant became the Mavericks’ gain, as they best up Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes from the cap-clearing Warriors. They absent Chandler Parsons and his accursed ligaments to Memphis, but the Mavericks abounding out the agenda with affordable deals for Seth Curry and Deron Williams. This aggregation wasn’t a appellation contender, but with Dirk Nowtizki and Rick Carlisle, they sat calmly in the lower bank of playoff teams.
Things Abatement Apart: The Mavericks’ hopes were abject shockingly fast. Afterwards blow in overtime on aperture night, Dirk got sick. Afresh Devin Harris aching his foot, Deron Williams aching his knee, Andrew Bogut started missing amateur for claimed reasons, and then, like the Greek army afterwards Hector dead Patroclus, Dirk had an affronted Achilles. The Mavericks started 0-5.
The Downward Spiral: A barbarous aboriginal alley cruise took Dallas to both coasts, and tempted Rick Carlisle to airing into assorted oceans. Afterwards seven beeline losses, they went to Cleveland the night afterwards Thanksgiving, and played like they ate a abounding turkey banquet an hour afore the game. The Cavs led 72-38, won by 38, at halftime, and their admirers booed Seth Curry relentlessly the accomplished bold
Circling the Drain: On January 20th, the Mavericks absent to the Jazz in overtime, as Rudy Gobert abused them for 27 credibility and 25 rebounds. Dirk Nowitzki attempt 1-13, which included two misses and a blocked attempt on a distinct possession. Affliction of all for Mark Cuban, his Twitter foe Donald Trump was inaugurated as admiral the aforementioned day.
Glimmer of Hope: Yogi Ferrell active a 10-day arrangement in January and anon bent fire, scoring 71 credibility as allotment of a four-game acceptable streak. The Mavs looked abundant bigger with him rounding out the bouncer rotation, and Yogi got himself active for the abstract of the year.
Last Gasp: C.J. McCollum and Dirk Nowitzki dueled bottomward the stretch, with Dirk nailing two ambitious three-pointers in the aftermost minute. But McCollum hit a accommodation with abnormal left, and if the aperture was accessible for an doubtful playoff run before, C.J. shut it.
Christmas Comes Late: At the barter deadline, Dallas managed to barter Andrew Bogut’s expiring arrangement and expiring anatomy to the 76ers for Nerlens Noel. The Mavericks never absolutely hit bedrock basal this year, but they paid basal prices for a shot-blocking airy apparatus who alone aloof angry 23.
Twist Ending: Way out of the playoffs and tanking for abstract position, the Mavericks active backward quarterback Tony Romo to a august contract. This is perfect, aback the alone affair added afflicted than the 2016-17 Mavericks is Tony Romo.

Ross Dress for Less - 98 Photos | Ross Dress For Less EdmontonOutlook: It’s not that bad! Dirk is a carapace of himself, but it’s a delightful, candied carapace that still has an unblockable fadeaway. Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes, a re-signed Nerlens Noel, and whoever they get with their action aces — that’s not a abhorrent baseline. And with all those injuries, the adolescent guys got affluence of arena time. This could calmly be a 42-win aggregation abutting year. Faint praise, but a lot bigger than some of these teams.
Detroit Pistons
Detroit Pistons arch drillmaster Stan Van Gundy saw his aggregation absence the playoffs and accomplishment the year 37-45. Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
Great Expectations: The Pistons alternate to the playoffs in 2016, blow in as angry a four-game ambit as you’re anytime activity to see. In the off-season, they gave Andre Drummond a max addendum and contrarily abounding in their afflicted bench, abacus Ish Smith, Jon Leuer, and Boban Marjanovic. Detroit seemed accessible to booty the abutting footfall appear altercation during their aftermost division at the Palace in Auburn Hills, and Stan Van Gundy was accessible to allocution austere debris to his brother.
Things Abatement Apart: Blow to Brooklyn in the fifth bold of the division was a bad omen. The Pistons were still 3-2, but one of the keys for a bottom-tier playoff aggregation is assault up on the absolutely abominable teams in the East. In particular, that bureau the teams from New York City. A blow to the Knicks two weeks afterwards incited a four-game skid. Brook Lopez went off, the aboriginal of abounding big men who denticulate big on Andre Drummond this season. Stan Van Gundy did some retail analysis at Ross Dress For Less.
The Downward Spiral: The Pistons captivated the acropolis afterwards starting point bouncer Reggie Jackson, activity 11-10 while he was out with a knee injury. But his acknowledgment didn’t atom the breach like Stan Van Gundy had hoped, as they struggled to breach 100 points. The affliction was aback Jackson absent bristles threes in a 25-point home blow to the Bucks, the arctic adverse of the added Reggie Jackson hitting in the ‘77 World Series. Stan Van Gundy chugged a 32-ounce Diet Pepsi in his columnist conference.
Circling the Drain: Detroit took a two-game acceptable band into Sacramento in January, afterwards an alarming double-overtime alley achievement over Portland. They took an 18-point advance in the additional bisected of that bold afore their cutting went ice cold, scoring alone bristles point s in the final six account of the game. Stan Van Gundy about chewed off his mustache.
Glimmer of Hope: Andre Drummond put up 20 and 16 adjoin the arresting best Cleveland Cavaliers. Encouragingly, they bedeviled the fourth quarter, admitting LeBron ablution like the bold was sponsored by Verizon. This bold put the Pistons absolutely into the 7 seed, and gave them bags of aplomb about adverse Cleveland in the playoffs. Stan Van Gundy advised himself to fro-yo.
Rock Bottom: Already again, it was Brook Lopez and the Nets disturbing out the Pistons’ heart. He hit a last-second jumper to amaze them, assuming why he’s the best arch Nets scorer! Afterwards the game, one of the Pistons appropriate the bold was a “wake-up call,” and Stan Van Gundy exploded: “We're 71 amateur in. A wake-up call? Appear on, we've been accomplishing this all year.” If anything, the bold was a catnap button, and the Pistons absent their abutting four to abatement the way out of the playoff race.
Outlook: The Pistons are affective city abutting year, and some players ability be affective out of boondocks entirely. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a belted chargeless agent, and the Pistons may accept to accept amid maxing him out and blow him entirely. With Andre Drummond already maxed out and Reggie Jackson authoritative big money, Detroit may able-bodied abstract things up, rather than actuality capped out as the 10th-best aggregation in the East. The Pistons are still young. The late-lottery aces should help, the abhorrent alfresco cutting should advance with corruption to the mean, but aloof like Stan Van’s wardrobe, this aggregation needs to change things up.
New Orleans Pelicans

["242.5"]
Ross Dress for Less - 98 Photos | Ross Dress For Less EdmontonGreat Expectations: The Pelicans are cursed. In 2013, they traded for Jrue Holiday, who unbeknownst to them had two abiding leg fractures. In the aforementioned season, Ryan Anderson had to accord with the suicide of his adherent and a freak, season-ending close injury. Tyreke Evans blew out his knee and absent 57 amateur in 2015-16. Aloft drillmaster Monty Williams’ wife was dead in a car accident.
Last year, the Pelicans were signing artery chargeless agents like Nate Robinson and putting them into the starting lineup. They had so abounding injuries that Anthony Davis led the aggregation in account admitting missing 20 games. They absent Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, but it didn’t feel like a huge blow aback they absent 50 amateur combined. New Orleans added Buddy Hield in the draft, a agglomeration of players in chargeless agency, and ample to get added than 25 amateur from Tyreke Evans. Surely this aggregation could contend!
Things Abatement Apart: Two months afore the season, Holiday abstruse his abundant wife had a academician tumor. The Pelicans would be afterwards their second-best amateur indefinitely as he took affliction of his ailing wife and his new baby. Evans was apathetic to appear aback from injury, and aback Lance Stephenson was logging 45 account a game. The Pelicans absent two overtime amateur and three others by distinct digits, including amateur area Davis denticulate 45 and 50 points. They started 0-8.
The Downward Spiral: New Orleans appear Lance, saged their convenance facility, and got aback to the bound of contention. But on December 5th, arena shorthanded on the additional bold of a back-to-back, the Pelicans absent in double-OT to Memphis. Troy Daniels hit seven threes, which is either abhorrent luck or abhorrent ambit defense. The blow was a gut punch, or maybe the aggregation was aloof airtight from exhaustion.
Glimmer of Hope: Arena afterwards Anthony Davis, the Pelicans survived a 49-point access from Kyrie Irving and exhausted the Cavaliers. Terrence Jones was scoring, Holiday was dishing, and Donatas Motiejunas about forgot how abominably B.J. Armstrong busted up his arrangement negotiations. They were alone a distinct bold out of the 8-seed!
Time to Boogie: At the All-Star break, the Pelicans abashed the alliance by trading for DeMarcus Cousins, admitting assembly claimed it was alone because All-Star Weekend was in the Big Easy, and Vlade Divac brand contiguous meetings. Anthony Davis won MVP at the game, and the Pelicans aback had two brilliant big men.
Boogie? Down: The activating duo of AD and Boogie took a while to get started. New Orleans absent their aboriginal three amateur afterwards the trade, and their aboriginal win came with Cousins abeyant for technicals. Meanwhile New Orleans had waived Terrence Jones and the afflicted Omri Casspi, and confused on to Jordan Crawford. They started Hollis Thompson adjoin the Raptors, which Sam Hinkie will acquaint you is a abundant way to lose games. By the time Davis aching his duke and absent the additional half, New Orleans had collapsed into 13th place.
Outlook: The Pelicans accept a 4 percent adventitious at affective into the top three and befitting their first-round pick. Acceptation there’s a 96 percent adventitious their advance will accept to appear from a abounding division of Boogie, and acceptable Jrue Holiday to re-sign this summer. And maybe amount out if there’s a Dragon Blood Stick for alfresco shooting.
Charlotte Hornets

Outlook: The 2015-16 Hornets won 48 games, 15 amateur bigger than the antecedent year, and the best aback the Baron Davis era. They brought aback Nic Batum and Marvin Williams, absent Jeremy Lin, and traded for Marco Belinelli. Additional arresting ace Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was advancing back. Addition 48-win division ability be optimistic, but they absolutely looked like a playoff team.
Things Abatement Apart: It seemed accessory at the time, but afterwards Dwight Howard accomplished Cody Zeller with an elbow, the Hornets’ accomplished division changed. Zeller sat out the abutting bold with a abscessed shoulder, and Charlotte lost. Afresh they absent the abutting two amateur he missed. All told, the Hornets went 33-29 aback Zeller played — and 3-17 in amateur he sat out.
["620.8"]
Outlet Exterior Stock Photos | Ross Dress For Less EdmontonThe Downward Spiral: Charlotte struggled afterwards Cody Zeller, and they struggled on the road. Arena afterwards Cody Zeller, on the road? Disaster. 2017 started with six alley amateur and four Cody-free games, and the Hornets went 1-6.
Circling the Drain: January 25th was Steph Curry’s anniversary accession bold to Charlotte, and the Hornets about broke it. They led afterwards three abode afore Kevin Durant took over, branch to the band over and over afore Curry clinched the bold with a brace of threes. Of Course, Cody Zeller was out with a cloister bruise. They absent the abutting bristles as well, including the rematch in Oakland, yet somehow were still angry for the aftermost playoff slot.
Rock Bottom: The Hornets comedy in North Carolina, aloof a two-hour drive from Duke University. They should accept accepted better. And yet, on February 2nd, they traded for a Plumlee. Spencer Hawes and his man bun went to Milwaukee, forth with the seven-footer aforetime accepted as Roy Hibbert, and Miles Plumlee came to Charlotte. The abstraction was to alter Cody Zeller with a altered adorned white big man, aloof as Denver approved to get allowance for Nikola Jokic by trading for Mason Plumlee. Portland accursed into the playoffs already they absent their Plumlee anchor, while Denver got bogged down. Charlotte absent six of their abutting seven, about acceptable adjoin a aggregation starting Randy Foye and Spencer Dinwiddie. Plumlees = Poison.
Outlook: They’re headed for the lottery, but Charlotte has absolutely outscored their opponents this year — a bigger cogwheel than the Hawks, Pacers, Bulls, or Blazers. Kemba Walker is an All-Star, Steve Clifford is a abundant coach, and the Hornets get a backward action pick. With bigger luck, they’ll be aback in the playoffs. With acute offseason moves, they ability win a round. But it all starts with one key move: Accepting rid of Miles Plumlee.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Karl-Anthony Towns and Minnesota Timberwolves shouldn't be bottomward on this division as the approaching is still ablaze for the club - the aggregation added 16 wins this year. Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Outlook: Minnesota has two afterwards #1 picks, who both won Rookie of the Year. Zach LaVine won two douse contests, admitting that’s usually not a abundant augur of NBA stardom. Aloof ask Babyish Jordan, Harold Miner. The aggregation assassin aloft Bulls drillmaster Tom Thibodeau, and they drafted point bouncer Kris Dunn with the #5. The Wolves jumped from 16 to 29 wins in 2015-16, and they were a accepted pre-season playoff pick. Some writers alike predicted they’d win 50 games!
Things Abatement Apart: The division started off with alley losses in Memphis and Sacramento, but the aboriginal anxiety accretion articulate afterwards a blow to the Brooklyn Nets put them at 1-5. Their aegis looked bad at first, but accepting disconnected by Trevor Booker and Justin Hamilton was addition akin of turnstile.
The Downward Spiral: Wiggins and Towns continues to score, and the Wolves kept not endlessly anyone. The low point was afterwards losses to the Knicks, by two and four credibility respectively, crumbling a 47-15 achievement from Towns in the aboriginal game. It was two weeks afterwards his 21st birthday.
Circling the Drain: Home adjoin Utah on January 7th, the Wolves blew their 12th double-digit advance of the year. They alone to 0-10 in amateur absitively by four or beneath points. They were 11-26 and if you mentioned a playoff anchorage at this point. Jim Mora would accept punched you in the face.
Glimmer of Hope: Let’s cut this off appropriate now. The blink of achievement is everything. Karl-Anthony Towns is 21. Andrew Wiggins aloof angry 22. Ricky Rubio attempt over 40% for the aboriginal time in his career (and fabricated 100K for his trouble), continued with nine assists. The aggregation coalesced on aegis and rallied calm afterwards Zach LaVine’s injury. Alike Kris Dunn upped his cutting afterwards the All-Star break.
They’re finishing two amateur bigger than aftermost year, which isn’t 50 amateur and a playoff bye, but nor is it an abnormal ambit for a adolescent team. They’re still 15 amateur bigger than two years ago. And what’s bigger for the abiding approaching of this aggregation — accepting absolute out in the aboriginal annular adjoin the Warriors, or acrimonious seventh in a loaded draft? The Timberwolves are fine, and actual few NBA teams wouldn’t about-face futures with them. Aloof don’t barter Ricky Rubio, accept Thibs?
