The Hornets need to move on from James Borrego if they want to make the leap to a consistent playoff team.

Yeah count me in. Gordon should not be the difference between us being a playoff team and bottom feeders. 0-7 in OT on the season is a terrible look for JB too.

If this team misses the playoffs and Jordan doesn’t fire him, he doesn’t care about winning

With a team this young, you need a veteran leader with playoff experience to help stabilize the roster.

Look at the difference Steven Adams has made for Memphis. From 9th in the west to 3rd this year. His stats don't show the actual impact he's had on that team. He brings leadership to a team full of young players.

Don't get me wrong though, JB needs to step up and be a difference maker when his team is struggling. Right now I couldn't tell you a single thing he brings to the table on gameday. His timeout usage sucks and he always calls them after a run has gotten out of hand instead trying to kill a run before it starts. He doesn't adjust rotations based on matchups even if they are getting destroyed. He doesn't have an offensive or defensive set that he can default to when things start getting sloppy.

Does anyone have any positives besides player development which is becoming less and less important since the team has been moving away from playing rookies and young players and trying to make the playoffs?

Gordon couldn't be depended on when we signed him. He had injury problems before he got here. He has injury problems now. Still a solid signing, especially since he only has 2 years left after this year.

Borrego couldn't take the Warriors to the playoffs.

C’mon now let’s be real here. You or I could take the warriors to the playoffs. 

That doesn’t discoredit the fact that is an average to below average Borregohead coach. He’s a top tier assistant coach who still hasn’t fully grasped the intricacies of a ihead coach during games. MJ and Mitch are probably still hoping for the next Erik Spolestra. They both started as video coordinators and worked their way up the coaching ranks. It’s been 4 years though and I’m just not seeing the improvement from JB.

He's peaked. He's not a top-12 coach in the East. Cut bait or continue to live with 35-47 every year.

I wasn't arguing with your thread. I was backing it up.

He has got to go. I dont see things getting any better next year which would be a no excuse year hands down. 

[kmgreensman]

JB talks a good game, but when it comes down to it, he just doesn't cut it. Some nights it “almost”looks like the Hornets turned the corner, but then they have another game like the play in game. They wont fire him though. Who is out there anyway?

Before you say GB needs to go , you need a plan on who is his replacement .  Good coaches stay where they are .   Bad coaches are fired so pick your poison .

He's not a good coach, so that's an easy decision.
