Sir. That’s not a hot take. That’s just an inevability.

I don’t think I’m ready for a world where the Magic have 2 All Stars AND Paulo.

Won’t matter though, because Jonathan Isaac put a voodoo hex on them by being the loudest ultra conservative evangelical conspiracy theorist known to man.

The Charlotte Hornets will be better than expected, and still not be good.

Boston will struggle to integrate zinger and Jrue early, leading to a bad first 20 games, and the doomers will be out in full force claiming they should blow it up.

Dallas will miss the playoffs because Kyrie and Luka actively hurt each others games when on the court together, but neither guy would be happy to take a backseat.

Cleveland will finish third in the east by a decent margin.
