BREAKING: HHH has left Substack, now online at HotHotHoops.com
New site will be hosted independently and will include all previous content on SB Nation and beyond.
A note from the editor…
As the Miami Heat begin their 2023-24 NBA season, Hot Hot Hoops is re-launching as a fully independent website on HotHotHoops.com.
While Substack has several nice features, many of them are not relevant for an established site like ours, and most crucially it is lacking some of the more important features needed for a fully optimized Hot Hot Hoops website. Perhaps biggest of all issues is that despite many attempts to work with Substack’s technical support and engineers, it is impossible to import any of our archives on this platform - a major blow to all the hard work our current and former writers have done across thousands of articles. Other issues such as an underwhelming comment system and limited flexibility designing the site made the decision to leave Substack a difficult but necessary one given the timing of the new NBA season.
While the new HHH website isn’t completed just yet, it’s already online at our regular URL with new articles, recaps, game threads and more from the same writing team you know and love. Our team of web developers are busy implementing a new layout and design with a focus on getting the site to look like it did before — but with more improvements and enhancements in mind. We have already incorporated some feedback from our readers for the new site and are busy implementing them. I would like to encourage any and all feedback at contact@hothothoops.com as we complete the migration over.
For all existing subscribers to HHH+, we sincerely apologize that the experience we envisioned for our most dedicated readers would not be possible on Substack and we will be looking into creating a similar experience on our new site in the future. We would be happy to extend a special discount for our founding subscription members when we do launch that. All current monthly and yearly paid Substack HHH+ subscribers will note their subscriptions have been cancelled and/or refunded.
Thank you to all of our subscribers that have signed up during our brief time on Substack. We will continue the newsletter so you won’t miss a beat when it comes to new HHH content, it will just be based off of our new site.
To all of our readers thanks for your patience as we continue to make the transition from SB Nation to what we envision the site to be.
Once again, Hot Hot Hoops remains the same at www.HotHotHoops.com and will feature all the same content from the same writing team.
