Lol. I don't see how you thought a lot of these players would do bad. For example, Tim Duncan. He's been a top PF for like 200000000 years, why would he magically have a bad year? -.-

I'm obviously not understanding something. You said "Here are some of the players that I thought weren't going to do so well. (Note: These aren't players i exactly thought were gonna do bad)". So first you say you thought they were gonna do bad, then you said these werent players you thought were going to do bad.

He is saying he didn't think these players would be performing as well as they are.

He's not saying he thought all these players would suck, he just thought they wouldn't be playing at this level.

You could just say "all NBA players except Heat players (with the exception of Bosh)".

JR Smith, Joakim Noah, Chandler Parsons, Carlos Delfino, Kemba Walker, Dion Waiters and OJ Mayo. I didn't think all these players would play sO well to start the year.

Long enough list? Might as well have out every single player in the league.

Don't remember if you put him but Al-Farouq Aminu has been impressive.

I was impressed by Mike Dunleavy, Karl Landry and Barea. They are leading a team that needs a good scorer/leader due to injuries. Warriors miss Bogut, Landry has stood up and did the job. Barea is leading the team like no one else, and Mike Dunleavy is that extra piece of the offense puzzle for the Bucks that finally made them kind of a thread to play against.

About your list, I don't see any player I didn't expect to play good expect from the rookies. I was overwhelmed by Damian Lillard, I knew he could play ball but stepping on the court and instantly lead the offense, that's just superstar level. And of course Waiters was just that scorer the Cavs needed. Well I guess i'm not going to analyse every name on your list. One thing, it's a shame the Lakers didn't sign Shannon Brown, he's balling out there in the desert.

Why didnt you think Kyrie or Varajao would do well? they had great season last year no reason for a drop off, I can see why you would have been suprised by waiters though.

my biggest one would be Lin I thought he would really struggle same with Asik

I figured Felton would look good, Vasquez is a suprise to me too.

Ha, he thought that Durant wasn't going to play as well (and he actually doesn't play as well as last season so this guy may consider him an average player, lol) and you're wondering about Varejao and Kyrie?!
Lol!
