 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

Cliff refuses to play the younger guys (where is Mark Williams???)

He's playing the young bigs a few games each. It's odd, but I guess he feels playing them a week or two each and then cycling to the next one is fair.

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.

Hornets up 29-16 on the Nuggets

[jayboogieman]

Hayward had a great first quarter and Rozier is being selfish.

[jayboogieman]

Hornets up by 3 at the half and are playing as well as can be expected against the best team in the league on the second night of a back to back.

[jayboogieman]

Hornets down 11 two minutes into the 4th. Make that down 10

Hornets apparently shot the lights out but loving Williams with 30 mins!  Lets go.  He needs to play all the mins.  Come on
