It's about a 60/40 split for me. 60% Gordon and 40% JB. The fact that JB can't coach around the loss of Hayward almost makes me want to flip the percentages though.

It is tough for any coach to have not have arguably their best player available for a significant amount of time. The problem is there's been quite a few games that we were in prime position to win and ended up losing due to piss poor game management down the stretch. It's almost like Borrego refuses to call timeouts when they are clearly needed to teach players a lesson or something. He also has a tendency to pull the hot hand because he refuses to stray away from his rotations, regardless of the situation.

I'd estimate this team to be around 5 to 8 games over .500 with Gordon healthy, putting the Hornets around the 6th or 7th seed in the east.

Lack of Big Man/Rim Protector and our inability to score a basket when we have too. We need someone who can create space and score. Nearly every team, at least good team, has someone they can give the ball too in crunch time and they can make something happen. We don't have that.

Gordon's a great player but you'd think he's Jokic/Giannis/Lebron the way we can't function without him.
