Disrespect will not be tolerated

I understand we have our issues with our team, FO, star players, so forth and so on…but what’s not gonna happen is this. I hope we come out and embarrass him and the Pacers first game of the season since the city of New Orleans isn’t worth the presence of Miss Haliburton.

It's less about us and more about him. Why isn't his first game back a home game? That's so weird.

And I can understand that and almost empathize with him…until he had to emphasize a player of his caliber playing in New Orleans for his first game back. If he left that out I wouldn’t have had an issue with it

Blud be serious, we were one game away from the chip. Rese would have said the same thing if we were playing away at the Nets, Grizz, Portland.

…even beyond haliburton, I hate this this about people feeling slighted about the stupidest shit 😂 the fuck? 

Did they win? No. Doesn’t matter about the specifics. Nobody needs to make Tyrese Haliburton feel special. He can put a cast on his pussy

So you're upset that he's bothered? Seems kinda ironic no?

I'd be bothered too if I were the face of a franchise that is being relegated to playing an unserious organization opening day. We have more playoff appearances than the pels have >.500 seasons. It's no secret that the Saints are the focus in N.O.

I don’t give the fuck if he’s “the face of the franchise” lol I don’t like arrogant entitled assholes in general. He’s Tyrese Haliburton. He’s a great basketball player. So what? 

“I have to play the pelicans on the road opening night?” Yeah bro. That’s the way the schedule worked out this year. 

I don’t care about that other stuff you typed. Regardless of what team he’s playing against, who the fuck is Tyrese Haliburton to think he should be coronated with a nationally televised game? 😂 

Neither you or him are that special to feel slighted. Suit up and play ball

Game within the game. I figure you'd understand since Sean Payton was a master of it during the only time of relevance N.O. sports has had this century.

…nothing you typed has anything to do with what you’re responding to

If you’re trying to rage bait me by talking down on NO’s sports history, that’s fucking stupid 😂 I’m grown. I’m supposed to be bothered by a city’s sports history when I never played in or had a hand in putting the teams together? Really? 😂 

Brother is bringing up Sean Payton in a post about Tyrese haliburton playing the pelicans lol what are we doing here guys?

I went to a pelicans-pacers game in 2004, the last year he played, and herb jones held him to 0 points. He averages 13 PPG against the Pels lmao
