 It blows my mind how much worse we are without Borrego. I know we don't have Bridges in the lineup anymore but he didn't win 30 more games single-handedly. Our offense and defense are way worse than what JB had us doing and we were still complaining about him. 

Well it could be that neither JB or Clifford are any good

Well, yes.  But why fire one guy for one who may be worse?  I get that JB may have needed a fire lit under his ass, but you don't fire a coach with little to no contingency plan.  Yet another dumbass MJ emotional move.

I was pissed we got blown out again in the play in but I bet if you told mj that the only guy that wants this damn job is Clifford he wouldn't have canned JB. That said I hope cliff gets us the number 1 pick then we bring in a new coach that can get the best out of victor and Melo

He didn't. They rehired Cliff out of desperation. Remember, they wanted the Golden State assistant and he had agreed to become the new HC before backing out of the deal a few days later.

Was firing JB an emotional move? Maybe.

Our esteemed head coach quit and our locker room leader caught a felony all within two weeks of the draft. If Miles got arrested a week earlier Jalen Duren would probably be on the team rn. I know it's convenient to blame all of the Hornets misfortunes on Jordan but the reality is this season was doomed before it started beyond anyone's control.

They were right to move on from JB when he did and Clifford's the best (maybe the only) option they could get last minute when Atkinson flaked. It's not enough but Cliff is playing the young guys more than Borrego did and is working with less.

No way they get a pass for that awful draft day trade. I don’t care what happened after, you don’t trade the #13 pick for what you know is going to be a pick in the 20’s (right now looking like 29 or 30) and a bunch of seconds. And the reasoning behind it was mind numbingly stupid.

    • the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense. 
    • The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
