According to Shams, the Hornets will dismiss employer coach James Borrego.
A bit of a surprise, but reasonable?
After all, the Hornets missed the playoffs by making it to the playoffs and losing miserably in the playoffs may be even more difficult to accept than the Lakers directly out.
And more than once, losing 27 points to the Pacers last year and 29 points to the Hawks this year, (Portal: 27+29 fiasco!) Carry away and carry away, don't mention Dong Yi control again, he doesn't deserve it). Coupled with the play-offs Hornets or the away team, even the ticket money can not be earned, the players can not move the knife, then the coach can only go.
It is said that the final decision to fire Borrego is Jordan himself, the owner of the Hornets, which is not surprising, after all, who in the Hornets dares to say that they know more about the ball than Jordan.
However, over the years, whether it is the draft hosted by Jordan or the operation of all aspects, from the perspective of the effect, the vision seems to be not bad.
At least Borrego's dismissal shocked some people in the industry, after all, in addition to these two play-offs, Borrego's work was still quite well done.
Borrego has been coaching the Hornets since the 2018-19 season, except for the first year boss or Kemba Walker, the last three years are basically a rebuilding period, and the last three records the Hornets have improved every year, from 23 wins in the first year, to 33 wins in the second year, and then to 43 wins and 39 losses this year, the winning percentage has exceeded 5.
The winning rate is more than 50% but it is going to be out of class, and the West's 48 wins but no playoffs are a bit of the same taste? I can only say that this year's east is really too wild.
Not to mention that the Hornets have been wandering in the play-off area, even the Cavaliers, who once played the second team in the East, finally had to play the play-offs, and the final outcome was the same as the Hornets, and they did not hear the news that JB Jr. was going to leave class.
Borrego's biggest reason for the class is believed to be the team's defensive failure, this year the Hornets ranked 22nd in the league in defensive efficiency, and most of the reason for the playoff defeat was also due to the defensive collapse.
But a look at the Hornets' lineup list, the two main attack points three goals, Rozier are all on the top of the wave, the defense is targeted by the opponent do not want to be unwanted points, even to put out the fire of thomas, is also completely defenseless, the team's defense is not a little too much.
It is said that the current Hornets to choose the coach D'Antoni will be one of the most likely candidates, I have to say that the old German is still quite hot, this year several teams to change the coach, the candidate list has the name of the old German.
However, you say that it is no problem for Lao De to develop the ceiling of three goals, but if he wants to improve the team's defense, it is estimated that it is not expected.
But for Borrego, dropping out of class from the Hornets is not necessarily a bad thing, after all, with his current qualifications and grades, it should be no problem to find another job.
For example, the western one........ Spurs, is there a chance to get him back? After all, he was originally from the Spurs, and when he went back to the Spurs for two years and waited for the old man to retire, he might be able to turn right.
Another example....
Forget it, the Lakers should not look up to him, right?
