To Borrego’s defense though.  He has no control in personnel moves like Rhule.  And the Hornet’s big men=Panthers OL/QB situation.   Only so much you can do to coach up a pile of poo.

Dude the hornets roster is straight. Good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably in the East.

Yeah but Borrego has been bad. I don’t want to see it reach Rhule Derangement Syndrome levels, but worth calling out.

They have the worst big man situations in basketball.  There are plenty of college big men right now who would straight work Plumlee.

Not even comparable in my opinion

One coach has increased his teams wins by ten each season as his conference has gotten significantly harder 

While the other has produced the same number of wins in a conference that has gotten older and easier.

Neither one of them has no business being  a head coach.

At least we have Rod Brind’Amour who is one of the best coaches in the NHL.

If the roster was good enough to get into the playoffs comfortably, the Hornets wouldn't have gotten blown out by the Hawks in the play in game.

The lack of a starting caliber NBA center that can play a little defense and rebound is a huge problem. The defensive scheme and lack of defensive effort are two other huge problems. Finally, the Hornets have too many streaky players on the roster.

Hayward and Rozier are being paid like they are those consistent go to scorers or players, and neither one of them are that guy. Bridges isn't there yet despite the leaps he has taken the last couple years. Ball isn't there either. Oubre is a newer version of Bobcats era Ben Gordon. Martin is a role player and glue guy that brings some energy and hustle off the pine. Washington is inconsistent and doesn't give good effort most nights. McDaniels is meh. Harrell is another glue and hustle guy. IT was a desperation move and no where as good as he once was. Richards and Plumlee are meh too.

Jones, Bouknight, and Thor could barely crack the lineup and it's way too soon to say what they'll be as pros.

I don't follow the NBA anymore but Matt Rhule and Phil Jackson might still be the worst 1-2 combo.

Don’t know when you stopped following the NBA but Phil Jackson has 13 rings…and never coached the Hornets…so not following the logic at all

It’s because Rhule is THAT bad.

Agree for the most part. Hornets did not play any of their rookies for experience this year just to finish as a 10th seed and get beat by 30 points in a play in game. All this just to finish 4 games over .500. What is the real gain? THERE IS NONE.

An actual winning season.

And for the Hornets babysteps like that are needed.
