I seen someone in another hot takes thread from a week ago say that the Orlando Magic will be a 4 seed :mjlol:

If we're going back to preseason then there were like 40 people who claimed Lonzo Ball was gonna show out this year including one who said he'd be 2nd-team All-NBA. :lolbron:

But we trying to keep this to hot takes based on actual early games.

My mind's blown that hot take posts/threads are even being made after ONE game as if we didn't just have the fukking TORONTO RAPTORS beat the shyt out of the Warriors to win the fukking NBA Finals.

How does anyone think they can predict anything? People had an entire 82-game season played out after halftime of Clippers/Lakers. :laugh:

Someone just said that Trae's one game against the Pistons proves that he's better than Luka and the debate is over. :gucci:

This.

Remember back in 2015 the Cavs with Kyrie and Love were like 17-15 or some shyt in January. Fast forward to June and they're reaching Game 6 of the Finals even WITHOUT Kyrie or Love.

Hell, the 2012 Heat were being completely written off by Woj and company as late as Game 5 in the ECF.

How many people had Dallas coming out over LA, OKC, Chicago, Boston, Miami to win the 2011 title?

In 2010 the Celtics played like shyt up until the last few weeks of the season, then would have pulled their 2nd ring if not for Perkins getting hurt in Game 6.

We could go on and on.

One game into the season and we got posters claiming Curry’s only real skill is shooting from deep and that he’s useless if he 3 isn’t falling.
:francis:

That’s been the narrative for multiple seasons on here nothing new but honestly none of these hot takes even surprise me anymore so..

:unimpressed:

edit: someone beat me to it :sas2:

"What makes Jokic so unique? If Sabonis was in the league during his prime, he would’ve been Jokic."


That might have just become my favorite hot take of all time. :mjgrin:


Breh seriously thought he was ripping on Jokic by saying he was just another prime Sabonis. :wow:

I mean, it would be a very low bar.

Either he or Lonzo would just have to start hitting free throws at the pace of an average high school freshman and they'd already be halfway to the MIP right there.
Fred VanVleet could win it

or Shai gilly
