Hyperbole is knocking at your door~~~~

Roberts dribbles off 23 seconds off the shot clock then shoots a contested 20 footer

Whatever...1. He's not at home 2. the refs are honoring him enough as it is.

Why are you following a Mackel?

Even without contact, Rivers have trouble putting it in the basket. I'm puzzled. I hope this isn't a case where a guy naturally has bad touch.

I was never very positive on Rivers, but he is even worse than I thought he would be... yikes.

Definitely wanting to inflict pain on Roberts after that play

l really wished we would of drafted jeremy lamb or meyers leonard with the 10th pick.

Hey whatdya know a call for us!

X just drove right? Buwah?

is henry pigeon toed?

I really thought Austin Rivers was a decent shooter .

How we never get calls

jeez...rec league

yo gordon/davis... sack up asap

I thought he would at least be decent! That bust label is coming soon if he doesn't get it together!

We can we start giving out 10 day contracts? There gotta be guys in the street better than what I'm seeing right now

If roberts,henry,mason jr or thomas are on the pelicans next year I swear I will boycott this team.

Alonzo Morning was on Fox Sports radio 2 days ago and said the same thing. Coach K also said it on First Take.

Struggling to remember being this infuriated at 15 minutes of a basketball game

Thomas plays hard and is not bad.

rivers does not belong in the nba. period bottom line. it is actually pretty ridiculous as of now.

This isn't even a good lakers team and we getting blown out. Unbelievable. We should just forfeit all games until Davis comes back if this is the kind of effort we are going to get out of these guys.

excuse me? plays hard? yes...not bad? me thinks not

@#$% im sick of that xmas ad!

Could've gone the Trey Burks route. Been beneficial to learn more about his game against better competition. No helping Rivers decision not to come back now. He's here. He'll struggle. He just needs to grind away and find a means to excel. Start small perhaps.

Nothing beneficial about beating it into the ground with constant repetition.
