Hot Take Cannon: Five extremely spicy takes on the NBA after approximately one game

It’s finally that time of year again, y’all. The NBA is back. The season is here.

This is the single moment of the year where everyone — yes, even YOU, Thunder fan — can have optimism and hope for your team because everyone starts from the bottom and works their way up.

It’s the moment where everyone is absolutely sure each and every player on their team will operate at the peak of his powers and it’s the moment where you expect every projection to be shattered. Reality hasn’t set in quite yet.

It’s also the moment where the takes are the hottest and, boy, do I have quite a few for y’all.

Welcome to the Hot Take Cannon, where toss you five takes on the NBA like they’re T-shirts. The thing about them?  Some will be hot, some will be lukewarm, all will eventually be cold, probably.

And approximately one game into the season, we’ve already got some good ones cooking.

Put on your seatbelts, folks. This is going to be fun.
