You don't get smoked in the play in back to back years and keep your job hand the keys to LaMelo and let him cook

Borrego’s replacement has to be a proven name with a track record of post season success.

17-40 on 2nd night of back to backs (2-13 this year)
4-16 in overtime (0-7 this year)
53-108 vs teams above .500 (18-31 this year)
Avg the 22nd rank team defense (22nd this year)
They underachieved they dropped 5 games that would have secured a 6th seed. #AllFly

People don’t seem to understand this. People main gripe is he don’t play LaMelo 40mins. This is why Charlotte will forever remain a mediocre middle team. https://t.co/xKIeK5fCfF

The Hornets really let a bunch of folk who just started watching them two seasons ago bully them into firing Borrego. Next coach gotta come in and win 55 with a 2nd round appearance off rip
