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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
