NBA vibe check: 3 teams with terrible vibes
The early 2026‑27 NBA season has left three clubs drowning in bad vibes. The Miami Heat, despite landing Giannis Antetokounmpo and pairing him with Bam Adebayo, sit 0‑4 and have allowed over 110 points each game, with the offense still a mess. The Toronto Raptors, after two opening wins, lose Kawhi Leonard to knee swelling, dashing hopes for a quick return to form. The Sacramento Kings also sit winless, surrendering 120‑plus points per loss while coach Doug Christie battles a weak roster; rookie Darius Acuff Jr. shines with 21.5 points per game but can’t lift the team. These woes set a grim tone for the first month of the season.
