Game Thread: Hornets @ Raptors

We should have 2 less turnovers than we do, but Aminu has horrible hands.

That was a pathetic attempt by Aminu

This team has only two above average defenders in Davis and Aminu. Everyone else needs to step it up.

Either Rivers was a lot further from the camera or is Brian Roberts taller than I thought.

Or Rivers isn't as tall.

Gordon has gotten a lot better. When he first came back he was giving up 1.05 points per play and he's lowered that to 0.98, which is still bad but to lower it like that shows he's getting better.

Oh ****, Thomas is in. Monty must really not be happy with everyone's effort if he is getting minutes again.

e: false alarm. i just saw him out of his sweats. lol

My God. Either I suck or there's no right decisions. Everything I do kills people!

I know it's great isn't it!? Best game I played all year!

i remember when we used to play defense. those were the days

I'll give Vasquez this, he's a better defender than Roberts.

This lineup is awful.

I give him a bit of a pass. He's not fully back yet.

Only a bit though. Not being fully back to basketball shape is no excuse for that many turnovers. Maybe some, but not at the rate he's gone.

Good shot, Rivers. And Jesus, Terrence Ross has hops. I knew he was athletic in college but not friggin' Vince Carter-like.

sad thing is... we as fans should be used to this **** poor effort.

Rivers has looked ok.

Roberts is this year's version of Bobby Brown.

If you're talking about today he should only be credited with 1.

It's not fair. Ross, DeRozan, AND Gay. And who is our super highflyer? Aminu? Eh. He's on their level some. But too damn uncoordinated and zombie like.

Well, Davis too. But it's different when you're that damn long.

very lethargic first qtr

And he's hurting Rivers development as a PG.

Of course he drills a 3 after I said that.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Roberts is better than Rivers. Rivers should not get more than 10 min a game.

lol, I'd hate being a Raptors fan right now. Getting torched by Brian Roberts.

I still can't stand Roberts. Almost none of those were quality shots. They just happened to go in. And he isn't good enough for that kind of shot selection to consistently work.

Roberts always does this. I'd be interested to so how roberts performs as a spot up SG, but his ball handling stalls the offense 85% of the games.

I'll take whatever points this team can produce though. rofl.

The drive to the basket wasn't good? The wide open 3 after the pick wasn't good. The first 3 was forced by the shot clock, so that's a shot he HAS to take...

all of his shots were pretty good right now.

They weren't bad shot at all. When Gordon takes those shots, y'all love him but when Roberts take those shots, Y'all still hate him. As long as he makes them, I'm not complaining.
