OT: Your hot takes from the past

[amory]

Jump into your old posts and find a hot take you had that was either very right or very wrong. Looking at your past "likes" list from a long time ago is a good jumping off point. I'll start. Please enjoy my red hot Brad Stevens take from 2012:

Oof. That was a bad hot take even then.

Mine:

The trade itself is fine value-wise, but could they have gotten Love for less? Minny had no leverage. If Kevin Love says I'm only signing with the Cavs now or next year, Cavs just wait a year and get him for free in FA, and they get to keep all those assets. And if Love didn't work out, they'd have gotten someone else. Wiggins on a rookie scale is going to be one of the best assets in the whole NBA in a few years.

Maybe not a super hot take, but a forecast which certainly didn't pan out. Maybe it does turn out differently for Wiggins if he plays with LeBron though.

Never had a “bad” take.

Maybe that Call Me Maybe joke landed in 2012...

It... did not.

 

[champs99and04]

Call Me Maybe reference way more costly to OP's rep than Stevens take.

Pre internet. I did not think Larry Bird was going to be a great pro. I thought he would like like NBA life. Sigh........

 

[Deepster]

Where do I start?

Let’s just reference Senhor Testiculo and drop the mic.

I predicted Donovan Mitchell was going to bust. Tonight he earned the unparalleled ESPY award for Breakthrough Athlete of the Year

Danica Patric is not hot

My worst hot take was easily when Kemba had a bad game mid year 2011 during that lull we had, and I emphatically blared to the board, "we're expecting Kemba to be THAT GUY, and he's just not. He's not capable of carrying this team." Ho boy, that was awful. In fairness to me, Lamb had not come out of his cocoon yet, so Kemba was not quite ready to be THAT GUY.

My best hot take was yelling all year to let D.Daniels shoot the 3 whenever he had it. A lot of folks on this board thought he wasn't a good 3 shooter - I thought he was knocking on the door to being a great one.

2nd best hot take was yelling all year to have Giffey play over Omar. KO gave Omar way too much run for a long stretch after it became clear that he wasn't going to regain early-career form. Giffey was the final piece to that puzzle, and he was a huge piece.

Wait, says you joined 2017...

I actually said this about Diaco:

"This guy is great. I want my son to play for him. He's 10 toes in.

Anyone who was unsure should be watching this. I have a new man crush."

"Who is Frank Ivy?" Lol. Been here before we were here, sonny!

One of my first threads posted on here saying Bob Diaco seems insane and is leading UConn football into obscurity. And y'all destroyed me for it. From that day on I learned to wear a cup before entering the-boneyard dot com.

Kind of, but really not OT: Bob Diaco

Yeah dude, but you missed the perfect opportunity to humbly add, in the spirit of this thread, an equally horrid take at the end of your very same post . . . "Kevin Ollie and past national championships are the only things keeping UConn basketball afloat nationally."
Turns out KO was more like an oversized anchor on a short chain than something keeping us afloat. Lol.

Just goes to show - we're all throwing crap at the wall all the time, and much does not stick.

Daaaaaamn! Great catch. Haha. I didn't even notice that I had posted in that thread. Add that to my horrid take collection. How hopeful we were!

Haha I remember that thread well

I wanted to like Diaco so bad. But he just is not built to be a head coach.

Have you ever posted your full handle & timeline resume?
Seems like it would make for an ideal off-season subject.
I can't be the only one here who wonders about this.
MadDodRevival is an almost mainstream iteration.
And your prior was kind of a nice turnaround.
What makes you keep shedding your skin?
Strange way to build a brand, eh?

Kevin Ollie circa 2015 was one of the most well respected coaches among the entire professional American basketball circle.

Things have changed a bit. Or rather, been exposed.
