Did anyone order some early-season NBA hot takes, with a bit of extra HAWT sauce on the side? Hopefully, you did. Because Hardwood Knocks has got them. First, though, we break down the grade-school beef brewing between Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo. After that, the gloves REALLY come off. Andy and Dan take turns trying to wow the other with their premature overreactions to the start of the regular season. And these aren't your run-of-the-mill, attention-seeking takes, folks. Andy and Dan actually, totally, truly believe in these opinions with their hearts, minds, bodies and souls. As always, please subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on basically anywhere podcasts are offered. And as 50 Cent's biopic suggests: Follow Andy Bailey (@AndrewDBailey), Dan Favale (@danfavale), the show (@HardwoodKnocks) and NBA Math (@NBA_Math) on Twitter or die trying.
