Around the NBA 13

So should we expect daily Borrego updates going forward?

I'm a fan of Borrego, who is a former head coach of the Hornets, and this is the "around the NBA" thread in the Hornets subforum, so deal with it.

[yosemiteben]

Borrego has had a better stretch of offensive production since taking over the Pels about 15 or so games ago than I can ever remember the Hornets having under Lee

We've performed virtually identically offensively over that time period.

ORTG in last 15 games: NOP = 112.6, CLT = 112.2

This OKC team is so absurd. Skinny Luka is the only one who has any chance of putting a stop to this nonsense in the playoffs.

They literally just spanked skinny Luka a few weeks ago lmao

Nobody is beating them.

Only thing stopping OKC over the next 3 years is injury. Crazy NBA got their Kansas City Chiefs. Whatever I'll take it over LeBron fraternizing his way to another ring

Wemby and the spurs are probably their competition in the next few years. Castle and Harper are looking good, Fox is showing he’s still got it.

Yep, the Wemby injury isn’t stopping the Spurs one bit. NBA has birthed two monster teams via various means, but kudos to those organizations for assembling great supporting players up and down the rosters. We Hornets fans are laughable…dreaming our little collection of oft injured talent could ever seriously compete. Not in this era. In the good old days you could have big strong goons beat up the pretty boys and overcome blatant talent imbalances, cause the league allowed physicality. Now it’s just physical until the refs start calling their star power fouls.

It always bothered me their Spurs reloaded around Wemby so fast.

Just another reason for me to believe the draft lottery is rigged.

It's under the radar, but the Spurs had the #2 pick after just having back to back ROTY picks in Wemby/Castle.

They didn't need Harper, yet here we are. Also forgot to mention the Fox trade which was pretty big news.


Thanks Silver

What does the NBA stand to gain financially from rigging the draft for the San Antonio market? San Antonio is the 31st largest TV market in the US. Charlotte and Raleigh are 21st and 22nd, for a local comparison.

Yeah congrats to the Spurs for getting gifted draft lottery luck every year and having had Fox fall into their lap for virtually nothing.

Give them their deserved credit lol.

Daily Borrego update: New Orleans dropped 143 with 36 assists against Portlands defense without Zion.

I'm happy for Bryce. He was by far my favorite from that era of Mitch projects.
So far he's outlasted bouk, thor and kai. Might outlast nsj. We'll see.

Bouk might eventually make his way back to the league if he keeps shooting threes at the percentage he's currently doing in the g league. Kai signed a one-year deal to play in turkey. No idea where Thor is playing right now.

I was about to post about Bryce as well. Talk about a dude who kept at it!

Was ready to write him off several times but here he is still battling. 3 point shot is starting to look good which enables that driving game of his
