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.

      I am not really willing to cut XL slack on the trajectory of the pass. In fact for a likely 50/50 result Bryce’s rainbows seem like they would be easier to come down with. I am picturing Russell Wilson’s punts that he was so lucky with so often.  That is what I pictured it looking like with him and Bryce.    You don’t have to be that close to the OB for that to work though. Which Bryce seems to not execute, he is often right on that line or over it.    Seems like it couldn’t be that damned hard to make your angle a little less severe when throwing a deeper ball to the outside. But it has been.    As to XL, I never had it out for him but I have eyes. He deserves to be demoted.

      You have to work for davis and your best player on defense wants out. You're also very clearly the worst team in the best division in the afc

      My first reaction is the mental image of a Cam fastball which surely would make it more difficult. Vs a Bryce cream puff toss. I do think in that situation Bryce’s ball is easier to handle if it is not perfect.  I don’t see the need to die on the it bad pass good pass hill, but do not think Bryce threw him a gimme, at the least.
