    Solid win. Cut down on these turnovers and we will be cooking with gas.

    We all know what this team is capable of when they are healthy. The question is if Zion can stay healthy throughout the whole season. If he gets hurt again the season is over.

  3. BasketTimely

    Very encouraging start to the year! Let’s clean up these turnovers and we’re looking good.

    Why does it sound like Jen is talking with marshmallows in her mouth right now

    The New Orleans pelicans are on pace to be the greatest team in NBA history.

    Nice W. Refs were hot garbage like always.Turnovers continue to be an issue. Zion got much better as the game went along, we won’t have to face a player like JJ often.Good CJ game. Unfortunately Kira doesn’t look like an NBA player.

    It’s so fun to watch Zion, we all know how he can bullyball when he wants. But if he mixes in that mid range game he will be LETHAL. Literally impossible to guard.

    I like winning. Let’s keep winning. Winning feels good. Winning makes my happy.

    Naji getting hurt a blessing in disguise? Matt Ryan gives us so much more spacing

    Rooting for a guy named Matt Ryan as a New Orleans sports fan is a weird experience.

    1-0. Really solid start. Big 3 looked awesome along with Herb, JV, Larry, and Dyson. Those BI to Zion lobs are so fucking cool

  12. Good start. If this team can cut down on the turnovers we can play with anyone, especially when we get Trey and Jose back. Getting exited for the season.

    I saw the midrange from Z and now I can’t wait till 20 years from now when people shit on his 7 ring legacy by saying he “needed ~~Pippen~~ BI to win”

    Not an official Pelicans game until you go cold in the last minutes and give fans a heart attack.

    FLOCK THE FUCK UP MUTHAFUCKAS!!!

  15. BeastaBubbles

    Beautiful. I really hope our offense continues to look that good. And with TM3 coming back idk why it wouldn’t.

    Limit the turnovers and we’ll be great.

    Ryan needs more minutes and everybody needs to chill on Larry he is still a little rusty.

  17. NolaBrass

    …alright I’ll take a Matt Ryan jersey, dude just appeared on the roster and looked like he belonged in the lineup every night off the bench lol

  18. buddha6521256

    If we just cut our turnovers by 25% we win 50 games

  19. CanalVillainy

    JV playing more on the perimeter is a nice addition. Really excited to see how the season progresses.

  20. mitch3311

    Trey murphy at 6’9-6’10 with his crazy range and athleticism are gonna make those small ball lineups look so much different and more lethal.

    When he gets back if the pels stay healthy, damn 👀

  21. Razor-Ramon-Sessions

    First game of the season… Lots of things to improve on.

    Good win.

  22. BubbleGumGuy94

    So yeah I am so hyped for Bi to Z lobs, Bi looked good being the facilitator, couple more of other people shots went in and he’d have like 8/9 assists

  23. maxfaulkner

    Wasn’t able to catch the game, so a few questions:

    1. How’d we look? Seems like the big 3 played well.
    2. When the hell did we sign Matt Ryan?
    3. I swear Z only had like 13 points heading into the 4th when I checked the box score, but finished on 23, was it a big close out quarter or was it just easy garbage time buckets?

  24. David_Griffin_

    If Zion ever learns to pump fake it’s over for guys like JJJ
