We're about 20% of the way through the season now with most teams having played ~16 games. Do you have any hot takes so far on the season?

This is honestly one of the hottest takes I see in this thread. I want to give em a chance and root for them from a distance since they're kind of an underdog right now and I like some of their players and the system they seem to be headed towards, but it just seems futile realistically. I can't imagine this squad doing anything more than just racking up some meaningless stats and having another play-in type of ~.500 season at best; they're trying too much and there's no guarantee of improvement (except for Barnes) - OG seems to be hitting his peak performance (which is really solid 3&D play) and Pascal is definitely at his peak which is really good but we're talking ISOs and not great efficiency. I don't see the Raps going anywhere meaningful from here.

Sad but true. I agree entirely.
