The Charlotte Hornets need defense…but do they need it bad enough to sign Dillon Brooks to a contract?
Charlotte’s long and winding search for a coach last offseason eventually led to the re-tread hiring of Steve Clifford. How did Clifford navigate such an injury riddled season? What do we hope to see next season? The guys discuss if Clifford is the right coach in the present, and when it’s time to make the playoff leap.
Howard Beck joins the podcast to discuss what makes playoff basketball different from the regular season.

Draft Cam. Resign Miles. Sign Brooks. May the best man win.
Dillon Brooks might thrive on Steve Clifford's system just like DSJ last season. A bench of him, Oubre, DSJ, Nick Richards and a healthy Cody Martin will be a great defensive unit
The Hornets next 🎯 another 6'6 or 6'7 guard. OMG why would you bring in another one. There's no room for what they have now. 🛑 the cap. Miller, Walker, Hendricks, Clowney, or L. Miller are the only viable options.
Hey… I wouldn’t be mad with a Brooks signing
Doug stop making excuses for Clifford
This team has two major problems first option talent and maturity. Dillon Brooks is a step backward in both of those areas.
Doug I don’t know if you follow other teams to say Dillion is the reason they lost is ridiculous, grizzlies lost because they did not have the size to deal with AD they lost Clark and Adam’s to injury Clark and Adam’s are great interior defenders and could have been used as a better matchup against AD. Then Morant was injured and obviously not 100% Dillion did not play well but there was in no universe the Grizzlies got out of the 1st round with their superstar injured and two of your best interior defenders injured.
I think Doug Branson hit the nail on the head. Dillon Brook wasn't just a trash talking foul magnet, he was a horrible liability on offense during the NBA playoffs.
This is a guy who dared LeBron James to put 40 on him, yet Dillon himself couldn't put half that number on the scoreboard if his life depended on it. Brooks markets himself as a "3 and D" player, yet he shot 23.8% from 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers over the course of five games.
And the fact that it was five games when the series went six games should be noted. It was because Dillon punched LeBron in the balls that he was suspended by the league for one game. 🥊🏀🐻
would rather have cam whitmore any day plus we already have bridges and pj as restricted fa
Only signing Dillion brooks if he’s not expensive and won’t talk crazy like that again.
