    We owned the Bulls, and would have beaten them in the Finals.

    Yao & Co. were on their way to a title if he doesn't get injured against LA.

    Adam Silver and his minions stole a title from us.

    Jalen will average at least 21-22/gm next year.

    Jalen will lead the offensive charge of the Rockets next season.

    Alpi will average at least 15/8/4 and more than a steal and a block per game.

    that's not a hot take, that's just a run-of-the-mill, everyday prediction. Do better. :p

    Jokes aside, how many 20 year olds average these kinds of numbers (I know he hasn't yet, but I am 100 % sure he will, given at least 28 minutes per game). To me, he has superstar potential - just as much as Jalen. Jalen will always score more, but Alpi will be just as important to this franchise. And Jabari and Tari (and maybe KPJ) could be the perfect complement to them.

    That's also why the expectations for the team should be elevated. Sure they are really young, but how often does a team this young have that much top tier talent?

    I’m skeptical he makes that block and steal threshold, he’s a ‘below the rim’ center and foul prone.

    3 days and the ‘Hot Takes’ thread is already losing momentum … this time next week it’ll be buried by redundant attention seeking filler threads :(
