And for the Hornets babysteps like that are needed.

Finishing 4 games over .500 and a 10th seed same as last year is not a success. Baby steps do the hornets no good because everybody around you is RAPIDLY improving (Cleveland, bulls). Its gets you nowhere and is a losers mentality.

Yup, Hornets took out their trash.  Too bad our Panthers will waste another year with theirs...  that, and you can get rid of the owner.😂

Borrego had a team that shouldn't of been in the play-in games.  But he just loved to have those random skids when we should have been rolling.  They should have been in the Toronto/Bulls tier with how they played. Time for them to land a big and a fresh HC that can coach up a playoff squad with Miles & Lamelo.

At least MJ did the right thing and got rid of Borrego

23 > 33 > 43…

…only the Sun & Warriors have also gone +10, +10 in same time frame.

Bear case is consistent lack of defensive effort signals the players had given up on or tuned out Coach.

Jordan won’t pay up for a top/established coach…he’ll just hire another scrub or newbie.

Full Disclosure: I am not a basketball fan and don't follow the Hornets.

My general impression from listening to fans talk though was that most people liked Borrego.

From what I've always seen, it was a fairly even split between those that liked him and those that didn't. I didn't mind him. The team improved each year under JB, but they lost the play-in game badly this year and last year. Guess the Hornets' FO decided he just couldn't get the team to take the next step and parted ways. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a casual hornets fan but I thought they lost too many to the worst teams.  They could have been in the top 6 if they had beat the teams they should have.

To be fair, they did win more against better teams this year.  I won't pretend I know if jb should have been retained but it seemed they underperformed their talent to me.

Borrego was closer to a Rivera kinda guy. People liked him but stubborn about playing his vets over talented young guys just sitting on the bench. Also choking in back to back play-in games, basically playing street ball against coaches that came in with playoff level game plans.

Exactly, which is why I think he had plateaued as a professional HC.  I like the man, but Mitch and MJ did the right thing by making the change now with young Melo and Miles.  We can't waste the prime years of exceptional talent while waiting for pro coaches to "figure it out".  We've been down that road too long.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.

      Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
