To Borrego’s defense though.  He has no control in personnel moves like Rhule.  And the Hornet’s big men=Panthers OL/QB situation.   Only so much you can do to coach up a pile of poo.

Dude the hornets roster is straight. Good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably in the East.

They have the worst big man situations in basketball.  There are plenty of college big men right now who would straight work Plumlee.

If the roster was good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably, the Hornets wouldn't have gotten blown out by the Hawks in the play in game.

The lack of a starting caliber NBA center that can play a little defense and rebound is a huge problem. The defensive scheme and lack of defensive effort are two other huge problems. Finally, the Hornets have too many streaky players on the roster.

Hayward and Rozier are being paid like they are those consistent go to scorers or players, and neither one of them are that guy. Bridges isn't there yet despite the leaps he has taken the last couple years. Ball isn't there either. Oubre is a newer version of Bobcats era Ben Gordon. Martin is a role player and glue guy that brings some energy and hustle off the pine. Washington is inconsistent and doesn't give good effort most nights. McDaniels is meh. Harrell is another glue and hustle guy. IT was a desperation move and no where as good as he once was. Richards and Plumlee are meh too.

Jones, Bouknight, and Thor could barely crack the lineup and it's way too soon to say what they'll be as pros.

I don't follow the NBA anymore but Matt Rhule and Phil Jackson might still be the worst 1-2 combo. 😂

Don’t know when you stopped following the NBA but Phil Jackson has 13 rings…and never coached the Hornets…so not following the logic at all

Agree for the most part. Hornets did not play any of their rookies for experience this year just to finish as a 10th seed and get beat by 30 points in a play in game. All this just to finish 4 games over .500. What is the real gain? THERE IS NONE.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
