NBA Hot Take Cannon: Hand-checking is creeping in, fights don’t matter, and more

The rule change needs a rule change.

Welcome back to the Hot Take Cannon! Thank y’all for rocking with yerboi for another week.

It has been an absolutely wild week in the NBA from players complaining about things to players actually kind of, sort of fighting about things to players not fighting about things at all. It’s just been sort of messy.

But there’s a lot of basketball things to talk about in the league, too! A bunch of surprise teams are still surprising people in both good and bad ways depending on who your allegiance is with.

We’re diving into all of that today. Buckle up, people. It’s going to be a bumpy one.

BOOM.
