Borrego got two stories while the head coach wasn't in a single one. Willie has got to go.

Remember last year when a few idiots tried to say that we weren't running Barrego's offense because of BI? Good times, good times.

Elbow! Elbow!

Willie Green's whole offensive playbook in a nutshell.

A lot of bullshite got projected onto BI and it's becoming more clear by the day.

I have no idea what an Instagram story is, or how to see it.
I feel old.

Brandon did everything pretty well offensively. The problem is, he never adjusted to the way the nba is played these days (yes i understand he was taking more threes this year). The ball also sticks when he's on the court. I've feel like i've never seen him cutting or truly working hard other than fighting for position to get a mid-range fade away.

We literally have watched him quit a few times (Dort in play-in being the primary example). He's not quick enough to beat his defender and drive and kick; and he's not strong enough to back down his defender. He relies on mid range fades and a few threes. Can't win games like that.

That was confirmed with a pretty legit source last year.

What's the excuse this year? BI hasn't played in forever...

what was confirmed? That we aren't running Borrego's offense? B/c that's extremely obvious and i've show the 3PA numbers that Charlotte had before, during and after Borrego. If we were running Borrego's offense we'd be a top 10 team in the league in 3PA instead of last.

That ingram didn't want to run it at the beginning of last season.

Obviously ingram bought in this year. You could tell with his shot selection.

I doubt we were running much of anything other than some basic packages due to all the injuries early on in the season especially with all of those g leaguers in the lineup.

Those were message board rumors, not legitimate reports

No. It was more than that. It came from a legit source.

False. I will eat crow if you can provide a reputable source.

I'm not giving them up. I was told not to. If that means you don't believe me that's ok.

Ingram has on numerous occasions admitted to his falling back into what he was accustomed to. He didn’t even shoot four threes a game the last two seasons. He should get two a game just on last second shot clock and half heaves. It doesn’t make him a bad person, doesn’t make him a bad player. He’s become an all star in the NBA doing what he does, think about that for a second.

But there is no question whether it’s Willie or BI, the team has not been running Borrego’s offense. Maybe on very rare occasion they have stolen a play, but not in totality. Certainly not in spirit.

What truly sucks is I do believe BI meant well. I do believe BI loves basketball, loves his teammates and enjoyed being here. And I do believe he’s an absolutely amazing basketball player. Probably better than what we have remaining. But it’s a numbers game, and that plus his injury history just did not add up here any longer.

I hope he kills it in Toronto, and I suspect that he will have a lot of great moments there.

Then there is no reputable source. Only a poster on a message board with confirmation bias.

Was this source another player, a journalist, NBA player or his girlfriend, coach, Pels employee, blogger or PT poster?
