The problem with Borrego is that development you speak of amounted to one step forward two steps back more often than not. And when we got to any playoff atmosphere that development went right out the window.

The mistake was firing him and having absolutely no answer except running it back with Clifford. That was a horrible decision obviously.

For me I don't think this franchise is going to fire and hire their way into being competitive and relevant again. Lee needs to show improvement this upcoming season. But your argument of firing him now while running cover for Borrego doesn't make much sense sir.

He won 39 games his first year. Then we made the correct decision and let our franchise player walk. Obviously that comes with a step back and a rebuild.

 

23 wins in a COVID shortened season

33 wins 

43 wins then fired. He was building a competive basketball team with an incompetent owner and was fired because we got butt fuged in the play in

I liked James on a personal level. I still do. But he had his flaws too and what's done is done. Charles Lee will get this season to showcase what he's building. If he and the team look like poo he should be on a very hot seat. But I don’t expect that to happen. I could be wrong. But I'd rather not be in this instance. Regardless. At some point we're going to be lucky to hire anyone worth a damn if we keep firing coaches. It's not something any of us should want to see because it's only going to mean yet another reset. Best case scenario is Lee with this infusion of youth establishes a refreshing culture change. We'll see.

This team is deep:

G - Ball, Mann, Simpson

G - Sexton, Knueppel, McNeeley, Smith

F - Miller, Connaughton, Green, Okogie, James

F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

 

The secret is if they can stay on the floor.  If Ball ever decides to play 60 games, with Bridges, Miller, and potentially improved shooting from Sexton/Knueppel, etc. I see improvement.  I personally like the Plumlee acquisition--he plays hard and is pretty durable--good depth, as you say.  I also approve of the players they let go, in general.  Not a huge fan, but want to be---if their season were not over by December.

It's how long that statement remains true that is the problem every year. 

Last year it was 15 games. The year before 20 games.  The year before that, they didn't make it to Halloween.

The guys they added all seem to be hardworking players so hopefully that rubs off on the rest of the team.

Or as equally likely they all take on the I don't give a fug attitude of the franchise player and become too cool to work hard

This isn’t Kon’s setting so much but the rest of the guys look amazing.  Kon right now looks a misfit athletically.  He is a role player at least for a few years.  The team tonight is playing D which is so refreshing.

Our picks after Kon look so good

Kon looks like trash. I know it's just game 1 of summer league

Other than his shots not falling tonight he's been fine. Considering how improved Salaun looks after how often people have labeled him a bust and a wasted pick maybe we should let Kon play another game or two before declaring him a bust lol

I have to admit this as well.  He is a shooter that plays off structured sets.  This isn’t his setting but he is very young and has plenty of time\room to grow

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
