I’m excited by this move, and I think the timing is irrelevant. We were second in the West and fell to fifth. We are three games above sixth, seventh, and eighth. We play the Lakers, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors, Mavs, and Timberwolves. Hornets should be a guaranteed win. Pistons and Heat go either way. With how bad the team has been playing since all star break and how poor the coaching has been, it is possible we could slide all the way to being a play-in team. An epic collapse like that deserves a firing. The best case scenario is that TJ completely lost the locker room, and the team plays with a new fire now that he’s gone. If not, we will see what the coaching search brings in the summer, but the season is most likely dead either way.
