One thing that isn’t debatable is that the Charlotte Hornets have underperformed this season. The team hasn’t lived up to expectations and their playoff hopes are essentially finished. With everyone looking for someone to blame, the easy target has seemingly been head coach Steve Clifford.
While there is enough blame to go around, the majority of it shouldn’t fall on Coach Clifford. Despite Rich Cho and Michael Jordan putting together a roster with less talent and production than last season’s squad, Steve has still found a way to put the Hornets in a position to win.
