Nothing is going well for the Washington Wizards and head coach <a rel=. . Previous: . Washington Wizards. 25. team. 142

The Minnesota Timberwolves are absolutely dripping with potential but they’re not there yet. I have the Timberpups finishing just out of the playoffs, and while they’re just 0-2, they may find it a tough climb in the Western Conference. The Wolves have dropped close road games to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Sacramento Kings, and are just a couple breaks away from being 1-1 or even 2-0. That said, there are going to be some bumps in the road for this young team. They’re still going to be a blast to watch.. . Previous: . Minnesota Timberwolves. 24. team. 86

23. team. 20. The Los Angeles Lakers are fun again! Not good yet, but they’re fun, and they’ll get there. <a rel=. . Previous: . Los Angeles Lakers

Previous: . Milwaukee Bucks. 22. team. 89. Most observers had the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs before the season started, but that all went out the window when former Detroit Piston <a rel=.

The New Orleans Pelicans are off to a terrible start, but Anthony Davis is off to a start for the ages. Through three games, Davis is averaging 37.7 points and 12.7 rebounds per game. He’s taking 26.7 shots per game and hitting 50 percent. But he can’t get his team into the win column by himself. <a rel=. . Previous: . New Orleans Pelicans. 21. team. 69
