Game 1 ugh.

Let me just say this. We really need a legit big man. That's all I got from this one. We are truly horrific on defense.

[LxDunn]

Team looks like garbage 

[Little Goody Two Shoes]

Good season fellas, that's a wrap.

James Borrego just isn't a good coach. Been saying it since he was hired. Just because he worked under Pop doesn't mean he is any good.

Looked over stats - we aren't playing terrible on Offense. 3pt% needs to improve - but we are letting them sniff 60.0 FG% - thats insane.. if we want to run and gun - fine.. but you still have to be respectable on D.. jeezzuz

Borrego has done fine by me.. we exceeded expectations last year for sure.. players have developed under his staff - gotta win games we are expected to win now.. this is one of them sadly

I know I'm not a regular in game threads for the Hornets, but do people seriously think this team is...good?  Absolute BEST case scenario this year was the 8 seed.  Not a good look to be losing to the Cavs obviously, but the Hornets aren't exactly brimming with talent.

I expect them to be competitive on opening night not just let mofos glide through the lane gettin yinged on.

That is why Borrego is a fine assistant coach but he just isn't head coach material. How are you going to let the opponent go on a 21-4 run to end a quarter without calling a timeout to try and cool some momentum or make a few subs when the defense looks non existent.

I've liked Borrego up to this point. If he doesnt get this team playing defense through the first quarter of the season then my perception of him will change.

Haywards a baller tho.

That's very valid. He probably doesnt want to interrupt his concept based scheme.

[TheMaulClaw]

Ball is probably a little overrated.

[HoopKing20]

Starting to show more fire. Need Hraham and Bridges to keep this going.  Keep it below 10 going into 4th.

We're a small team that turns the ball over too much, fouls too much, plays poor defense and gets out rebounded. I've been saying we need a true center and size down low. No way washington should have to play the 5 and Zeller is soft as hell.
