Re: Hornets fire coach Byron Scott, replace him with GM Jeff Bower
Scott is a decent coach; beside from the complete lack of quality players on roster and his unwillingness to play rookies, there is really nothing wrong with him.

I am glad they made GM Jeff Bower the coach. Get to eat some of his own cooking.

There's nothing wrong with horrible rotations and game management? There's nothing wrong with getting talented guys in his doghouse, only to watch them flourish on other teams? There's nothing wrong with fighting for a big free agent acquisition, only to see that blow up in his face?

Chris Paul, David West, Peja, Okafor are all garbage? OMG.....
It's like the Raptors with Chris Bosh....franchise players who don't act like franchise players.

I wonder how this will affect the Portland-NO game tomorrow...
Re: Hornets fire coach Byron Scott, replace him with GM Jeff Bower
A prime AI would win with the roster Paul has :lol
Re: Hornets fire coach Byron Scott, replace him with GM Jeff Bower
Ive never thought he was good, from Kidd to Paul
Scott is just a figure-head while Kidd or Paul were the prime minister who runs the show

You list 4 players - thats the issue. They have 4 players. There is ZERO depth.
Secondly, Bosh has arguably been the best player in the league so far. He is dominating.

Funny how he had the most success with two of the best PG's of their generation, and then his relationship with the team and it's players wore thin quickly.
Re: Hornets fire coach Byron Scott, replace him with GM Jeff Bower
Basketball coaching is much more than the coach's win/loss record. Player development, talent evaluation, player rotations, defensive and offensive schemes, team discipline & player morale all play large parts in how a coach is evaluated. By those measures, Scott is weak. Not terrible but not good enough to take a mid-market team to the next level. Unless he was restricted from making personnel decisions, he holds considerable blame for the state of this team. Earl Smith lll & Chris Andersen agree!
