Hornets' Physicality Gap: A Playoff Fix

About this episode

The episode discusses the Charlotte Hornets' playoff loss and the need for increased physicality in the team.

The Charlotte Hornets playoff loss to the Orlando Magic highlighted a glaring issue: a lack of physicality that has plagued the team all season. The front office and coaching staff acknowledge this problem, with Jeff Peterson, the teams exec, calling it out in his exit interview. Fans are frustrated with missed playoff opportunities, and this loss emphasized the need for a physical upgrade. The plan is to build strength through development, scouting for versatile defenders, and making smart moves in free agency or trades. With a full offseason ahead, addressing this issue could propel the young squad into the playoffs next time. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
