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.

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.

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.

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

      Underdog Fantasy on Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      His entire contract is basically 90% guaranteed he got a 24 mil signing bonus and a similar prorated amount. You could save a a few million roster bonus, for '25 and '26.  If he is horrible draft someone. Make them beat him out. He can be #2 for ’25 before the season is over. Maybe before camp.  If he’s greatin ‘24 then no problem.

      I still hope he can be the next Tua. But not sure how i feel about the next years class will be. Sanders you have to deal with the Media and his dad who wont want him here. Is Beck going to be the man? Ewers had to fight off a Freshman last year. Hoping if we pick high we can do a trade like the Bears did to us.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      I understand the point you're trying to make but Brady didn't win all those Superbowls without a good arm. You see how Bill B has done without him. I think we're getting tangled up in the significance of labels on this discussion. Good. Elite. Average. Above/below average. What it boils down to is what the individual can do when the rubber meets the road. You either can throw an adequate deep ball when situation requires or you can't. Burrow is certainly an intelligent QB. The Championship game was a combo of that and obviously a very well crafted gameplan. But IQ or "processing" ability only get you so far as well. I mean Bryce Young was regarded by many as damn near a 22 year old Professor Charles Xavier on the football field leading up to the draft. Didn't make a damn bit of difference in 16 games. Your phsyical talent shows up on the film or it doesn't.
