Yes the record improved but the team was still too non-competitive in many games and got blown out again in the play in. Plus there seemed to be some chemistry issues.

[Panther49er]

Right call.

I think Borrego is fine man and decent coach but this team has too much potential to settle for a guy who was finishing in the 9th and 10th seed every season. Good call.

Good coach but way too many blowout losses. It seemed it wasn't no in between...  like we either blew out someone or got blew out.  Marc Jackson would be my choice  but it is a few good options out and got to see what Utah does with their coach.

Good. Those play-in blowout losses in back to back years were unacceptable as was the team defense. I liked him as a person and he had some redeeming qualities in player development but still, this team needs a new and better leader for sure.

Said it should've been done after the play-in massacre against the Pacers last season.  It's the right move.

I agree with others, JB seems like a cool dude and a good man, but just as some guys make for better/elite OCs and DCs in football but just aren't good HCs, Borrego is a great talent developer, but he is not a HC.  Great guy to have on your staff, but he is not the guy that should be captain of the ship...  too many blowouts, bad rotations, constantly getting outschemed and outcoached, playing favorites over better options, etc.  And again, when we needed a win, we often not only didnt get it, but got blown out in the process when it mattered.  This is a relief...  and so many good coaches out there - Jay Wright and Mark Jackson would be at the top of my list.  D'Antoni is up there too.

One more year with a better big man would have been ideal. We can't count on Hayward any longer either. It kills us when he missed the second half of the season.

I totally  forgot about D' Antoni...

Nothing personal against the man but this had to happen. Now let's hope we actually hire a significant upgrade.

Yup. It'll be interesting to see if Bouknight/Thor/Kai can get some actual minutes under a new HC.
