Steve Clifford on Hornets' Struggles: 'Our Problem Is That We're Undertalented'

[Unbothered]

While he's correct to a certain extent but, I'm still surprised he's a coach in this league.

He's no better than the last coach they had who at least got them into a play-in game.

The Hornets are awful. Only reason why LaMelo, PJ, and a few others are still there is because of the money they signed during their rookie/contract extensions.

Charlotte is a sinking ship, they don't really seem to have a plan to rebuild like other former basement teams (Sacramento, Minnesota, Orlando, etc) they're similar to Atlanta who are in a futureless situation of their own.

Under talented with bridges melo and a top 2 pick?


Something is wrong then.

This team has great mix of bad luck and bad management. They over performed in good draft years, traded away SGA, injuries to their best player and on

a part of me is glad that we're likely gonna finish the season with him. still saved us from hiring darvin ham, griffin, and vaughn

Vaughn would have at least helped with player development

vaughn ain't developing shyt lol. cliff's been resurrecting careers for over a decade in the league. oubre and nick richards would be out the league without him, lamelo finally gets downhill now and acknowledges defense exists, miles has a game that isn't waiting for someone to throw him an alley, etc

don't mean shyt if no one is healthy though. people can't process how a g-league kid has played more games than our projected starter for the year clearly

Fair points

The team has no bench or depth.

Their starting center is hurt


I don’t understand how the hornets has a team full of players on their bench that have no business in the nba

Unseirous franchise. He's talented but I question whether a team with LaMelo as the cornerstone can win. They need to move the team and start from scratch or something.

Miller is their cornerstone now.

They should look at what they can get back for LaMelo.

we can't have both i don't even think they played 10 games together including preseason

 

[#1 pick]

we can't have both i don't even think they played 10 games together including preseason

it's a foolish statement. I swear general nba fans just want your squad if smaller to be a feeder program

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Silver gonna wave his magic wand and turn this team into the Sonics.
