Disappointment comes in differing degrees. NBA teams experience varying degrees of disappointment as well.
Say a friend cancels their plans with you. If the plan was to watch a movie, you’ll be disappointed. Still, if the plan was to go on a trip, you’re going to feel a lot worse.
If the plan was to compete for a title, and you’re losing, that’s more disappointing than failing to take a small step forward.
For example, the Detroit Pistons must have wanted to take a step forward after signing Bojan Bogdanovic. Their failure to do so is disappointing.
