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.

    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
