The beginning of every NBA season brings a broad swath of expectations for both individual players and collective teams. Those expectations carry quite a bit of weight, and to an extent can matter much more than objective success. If you’re exceeding expectations, you’re doing great. If you’re not quite getting there, you might be the target of endless Twitter roasting, and sometimes even more severe consequences.
These expectations are why the Cavs, despite being 31-22 and No. 3 in the East, were in a state of disarray and panic before basically doing a full-on rebuild in two hours at the deadline. But the Sixers, who are just hanging on to the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference at .500, are one of the feel-good stories of this NBA season.

mans butchered batum’s name
Lebron is 3-5 in the finals 😂
OMG WOW YOU REALLY KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE NBA!
It's pronounced like Nee-co-la Bah-toom
WHY Y’ALL HATING ON FRAZIER SO MUCH
Fraiser a bitch
Can't put melo in that he playing his part!!
you cant call someone who was deliberately injured by a dirty trash player from the warriors a disappointment kawhi has been fighting to get to the court out of pure passion this is adding fuel to the fire FUCK YOU FRAZIER AND COMPLEX FOR TAINTING HIS NAME
Fucc Frazier 💯
It's pronounced "BaTOOM." #noob
how are you gonna run a story on basketball and not have anyone in the room or in post that knows how to pronounce batum.
How is Kawhi a disappointment when he has been injured all year? CompLex here’s another L for you. 👎🏾👎🏾
L
WHY TF IS KAWHI HERE. Melo doing his job at OK3 idk about fultz.
Smh Nicholas who?
Frazier's favorite nba player is LAVAR BALL…
…coming from the most disappointing member of Complex
Can you at least pronounce the players names correctly?? Nic who?? Its Nic Batum not Nic “Battum” smh 🤦🏻♂️ frazier
Buh-toom, not batt-um idiot
Battum
Every time that Frazier is reporting, I hate the vid.
Kawhi but no lonzo? Fuck outta here Frazier. Carmelo averaging less than 20 because he's playing with 2 stars as big as him, complex so T R A S H. Dislike!
In my humble opinion complex are culture vultures. Just because someone is a person of color doesn’t mean they represent the culture. Hip hop is the streets
most disappointing addition to complex , and don't forget that you guys literally report about anything that happens under the fucking sun 😂 so don't talk shit about my NBA son. THIS NIGGA CANT EVEN PRONOUNCE BUH-TOOM
THIS NIGGA SAID BATTEM. OH YOU DONT WATCH BASKETBALL STOP
Derrick Rose…
You'll never be Jinx, summer kid
thought homie name was pronounced Batoom….get your shit together Frazier I trusted you…
It’s so funny how everyone shits on Frazier 😂😂😂
It's Ba-toom not Bat-em
It's pronounced "Batoom"
Everybody on the warriors nuts. Salary cap space says warriors got 1 more year together. Dont think all them guys gonna take a pay cut…especially KD.
Complex stick to music and celebrity drama. Don’t fuck with sports.
My mans cant even say batum right 😭😭
Biggest number 1 pick bust in recent nba history
Nicolas Battem
Complex is trash for sports…
I'm a big fan of Complex ,but I believe they made this video for views. Like many of the comments below …Fultoz deadass played through an injury and Lenard has only played NINE games sorry that's not enough for your fanasty team lmao. Carmelo is just aging it's natural he's not a LeBron he's just a skilled player who's aging. None of these guys I believe are a disappointment . They just are having obstacles in the way this season.
Frazier is the biggest disappointment of the black community
Most disappointing employee of complex is Frazier
Who else seen lnu at 0:34 in the UCLA Jersey
Batam😂😂😂
You can’t pick rookies yet, you can say they are disappointing if they don’t play better than there previous season, plus most of the players on that list are injured.
Don’t ever disrespect Kawhi like that. He’s been injured tf
stfu
how are you a disappointment because of an injury? smh please stop talking about sports
Nick Bat~tume
