What happened

Three games, three losses, and a fanbase watching its excuses run out. Washington took it 128-116 and the blame landed on the officials, "refs were atrocious." Then Chicago came to town, left with a 132-125 win, and the mood broke — that was the turn, the night someone typed "the very beginning of the dark ages" and nobody argued. Philadelphia's 127-116 finish put them at 0-3 and put Myles Turner in the crosshairs: "completely unacceptable performances." Week one, and hope is already a liability.
