Around SBN: Randy Moss A Raven?

Byron Scott?

The Hornets fired head coach Bryron Scott today, with the GM taking over coaching duties.  Despite the drubbing the Nugs gave the Hornets last year in the playoffs and their early poor start this season, I would put the blame for poor performance on their roster.

Given Scott's success in the past (for which he was awarded 2008 Coach of the Year) and that this is the last year of George Karl's contract, do you guys think Scott should be considered to coach the Nugs?

Sucks

He was a good coach, Im sure he will have another job in the NBA soon

Ummm, negative.

I don’t think picking up a coach who had a talented team performing so badly is a good idea. I think he needs and will take some time off, possibly for this season before finding another job.

Love it

I think Byron Scott is one of the best in the game. He understands the attitude of winning from his playing days and tries to instill that in his players. I would much rather see him than GK on the Nugs bench.

Byron hated JR Smith and Birdman

Never played them and had them released or traded away for nothing.

Adrian Dantley if this fast track to mediocrity continues. He knows the players and the staff, and has no personal issues with AC

Please don't tell me you are calling for Dantley

He’s just a taller version of GK in my opionion. If a team is going to switch coaches they should switch personality types. A Vangundy would be a good fit after a Karl and a Karl would be a good fit after a Vangundy.

FYI

Scott has ties to the Denver area. 2 of his cousins and their families live here. I work with one of them and he & byron are almost twins. He said that It could happen if the nuggets dont make their goal this year

He wears thin

on his players look at his history, starts out great then the team declines. He lost his job seasons after having the #2 seed in the West. Think what you want of Karl, but at least he has kept Denver at the worst in the same position year after year. The Hornets have gotten worse.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
