Any thoughts on him?
I only know that he has ties to Sean during San An days. Seemed to have very good relationship from what I heard few times.

The ball needs to be brought up by Ky or Dragic or Brown... someone else to free up Durant to move around....
Dragic should be seeing a heavier dose of minutes in order to properly facilitate the ball movement, initiate the offense. That of course is contingent if we have an offense to execute.
Gotta play Blake or LMA... gotta do something different. I'd say Edwards too for his energy n hustle..... cuz what was the stupid point of dropping JJ then?
Drummond is not adding enough offensive impact, either figure to get him going or tell him, don't even try to be fancy or you're out.

some franchises man...
The guy had a constant 10 win improvement over the years:"Over the past three seasons, Borrego oversaw 10-game improvements for the Hornets year-over-year. Charlotte went from 23-42 in 2019-20 to 33-39 in 2020-21 to 43-39 this season."
wow.
I'll take him!

I'd suggest, even with KD off ball, dont go to him as the primary option. run a kyrie pick and roll, some action for seth or kyrie iso. Durant has INSANE gravity even off ball. he creates a ton of space for those things. let his shots come secondary, in transition, and organically. Let him focus on being an elite defender.
when the mismatch comes or the ball finds him attack. he can still get 20 shots that way.
I mean, KD is better then Kyrie... but in half court offense kyris is one of the 3 best in the league himself. run kyrie as a first option until they adjust. they cant double both of them

Dragic needs to play 30+ mins while Ben is out. Less Drummond too
HORRIFIC LINEUP:
Durant, Irving,Drummond, Curry, Brown = 104.3(OFF) 116.7(DEF) -12.3(NET) in 34 mins!! EFG= 54% OPPFG=58% YUCK
MORE OF THIS:
Durant, Dragic, Irving, Brown, Claxton = 100.0 (OFF) 87.5 (DEF) 12.5 (NET) in 6mins EFG= 55% OPPFG=43%
“It’s not all on Kev. I take accountability. Everybody on our team takes accountability,” Kyrie Irving said. “I’ve got to get him to his spots and make the game a lot easier. I believe I can do that with the assistance of my other coaches, having a game plan to attack this defense.”

too small of a sample to use O/D RTG. just look at kyrie. 1 super elite game 1 game you forgot he was even on the team.
Drummond needs to play. he was good game 2 and he draws alot of fouls and we need those extra possessions.Claxon is getting the majority of center minutes. we are fine at the C spot.
we need more dragic, maybe start him.

same guy who 2 seasons ago said they(he n KD?) didn't need a coach?
the old stuff is coming back to bite his ass.....

Playoff sample sizes are inherently small but that doesn't mean the stats is useless.. It also matches the eye test that the defense looks best with KD-Dragic-Clax-BB.
The starting lineup is clearly not working for long stretches. Drummond has 8! rebounds in 2 games(41 mins). His effort on the boards isn't there. He doesn't move the needle if he's not getting rebounds and easy paint pts. He's not even a lob threat like Clax is.
Yes, he can still get mins but he should be getting even less minutes than he is now.
