  1. 3 game win streak at the right time. Whole starting 5 balled out. back at it tomorrow vs Minny

  2. Mesame121489

    This was a great team win. Everyone did their part at a high level. Now let’s do this again tomorrow.

  3. asapshrank

    in the wise words of jonas valanciunas:

    ***”we win a game, we needed some good 3rd quarter, we did it. onto the next one, was great game, happy new years!”***

    pels stacked!

  4. ___DEADPOOL______

    Pels undefeated when I eat Rouses premade mushroom tortellini with a butter and parmesan sauce.

  5. legend023

    This is the best team the pelicans have had in over a decade

    We’ve lost 3 games since fully healthy and all of them have been very winnable

  6. Briguy_fieri

    I’m struggling to find a food statistic for me to use today. I had eggs for breakfast like I do every day. I also ate sweet potatoes for dinner which I eat relatively frequently

    I skipped lunch so I guess that counts…

  7. SpaceAfricanJesus

    All around team win. This January 2nd definitely went better than last year’s.

    Just as a funny stat: Royce O’Neal, Cam Thomas, and Spencer Dinwiddie shot a combined 0-23.

  8. Allmighty_Milpil

    Me during close games – “Man, my heart can’t take this. Wish we had a comfortable lead.”

    ​

    Me during Pels blowouts – “Man, we’re playing like world beaters. I wish it was a little bit closer of a game to help raise the stakes.”

    ​

    Great game from the bois. I’m sure tomorrow against Minny will be a lot more column A.

  9. maejor_ced

    Hawk not scared to shoot that thang when he’s been missing… love that!

  10. Ramificator24

    Our defense is really leading the way during this streak. Jose and especially herb Jones have taken their game up a level and it shows.

  11. Impressive-Theory-27

    Whoever said in the game thread we needed a blowout so the guys don’t play a lot of minutes, I bow at your prophetic power!
