Only positive about Borrego is he is decent at developing young players. He is average to below average at basically every other coaching metric.

I agree, but you can get assistants to develop youth.  I'm done with dude.

I was just thinking what we needed from the outset of this game was the grittiness of the Martin twins.  I assumed they weren't playing because they were both still injured...  lo and behold, no, they weren't both injured, JB just didn't play them again because he's a fuging idiot when it comes to rotations and innate feel of the game.  Same poo could be said with Carey and Richards...  We were better off playing them than Zeller and Biz.  Dude started Biz and I dont think he's been back in the game since the 1st quarter.  This poo is mind-boggling.  Unfugingbelievable.

All this talk about coaching but we saw this with Clifford too. Maybe Borrego needs to go but you cannot absolve the players for this abysmal effort. These aren't janitors these are the big leagues.

That’s because Cliff and JB are stubborn ass coaches who will only make changes when they are forced to by injuries. They are the same coach but JB is decent at developing young players. 

It’s not a coincidence that the Magic also suck under Clifford.

Shoulda put the bench in at halftime they're actually trying

What's wrong with you?  You are obviously cursed.  Stop watching our games.  When we start winning, we'll tell you all the cool parts.

I know man.  FWIW, I turned off the game, no clue whats happening, I just am horribly cursed.

Martin in that last stretch put in more effort than all starters. Obviously they're over Borrego and comfortable with job security. A good coach would have benched PJ and Monk for these bench guys a month ago to send a message

Now that was pathetic…

Now I understand why Hayward wasn't trying to fug around with this mess the last month

I’ve been saying it since JB was hired. He’s a really good assistant coach but just isn’t head coaching material. There is a reason the Magic didn’t even consider him as a head coach after he was their interim in 2015.

Good coaches are like parents. They aren’t supposed to be your friends. They are going to do what is needed to get the best out of you. You may not like it and may feel like you hate them at times but that’s their job. It helps develop you and builds character.

100%.  I'm ready to turn the page on him.  That couldn't have went any worse and every bit of it illustrated all of his weaknesses as a head coach.  This team has no accountability, and I doubt they even listen to his "I know this is gonna sting, but rah rah!" poo afterwards.  If you listened to his post-game presser after that last Washington game, it confirmed everything I foresaw coming tonight.  It literally sounded like Rivera.  Just a bunch of cliches about us being young, about us growing, about how we'll learn from it and step up to the challenge in the next game.  Welp...  just more of the same.

He also threw the team under the bus the other day saying you can't win without making shots. It's true but prob pissed the team off and want him gone

It's on players too, but when your coach is letting that poo keep sliding, that's where it begins and ends.  It's a slippery slope to navigate for coaches in the NBA, but if he doesn't command the respect of the locker room and is a push over just letting guys get away with this poo over and over again without being accountable, he has to go.

So what I'm reading is Michael Jordan or whomever is pushing these hires needs to get out of the process. Two coaches who mirror each other hired back to back. No more assistant hires. Bring in a real head coach with experience and build this roster up with a real center. I cannot watch Cody Zeller and Biz suck ass anymore.

So basically it's like the Panthers going from John Fox to Ron Rivera. At this point who is the NCAAB version of Matt Rhule?
