We flockin
Did we just flock around and beat the 1 seed?
The New Orleans pelicans are 1-0 when /u/briguy_fieri ‘s work gets chick Fil a catered for lunch
PSLF
We are guaranteed the 5 seed until the kings game is over
The score doesn’t fully show how well we played. That was beautiful. We had control of the whole game and didn’t let it slip. Whenever they tried to go on a run, we hit shots to put a stop to it. That was also against the 1st seed!
Streaking at the right time. Zion and BI looking like stars and CJ playing perfect 3rd fiddle. Role players hitting shots too. 7 games over .500 feels great
Great team game, I feel like we are starting to play some of our best basketball.
We’re not trapped in the January Schedule, the January Schedule is trapped in with us.
Herb Jones with more children than Nick Cannon.
Herb Jones.
Ate mushroom tortellini for dinner again tonight. Gonna be eating a lot of pasta for the next few months
#PLAYTHEANTHEM
Excellent way to begin a really tough schedule for the month
Pick your poison, man:
– Blowing out the 1 seed
– Handing them their 2nd home loss of the season
– Shooting 57% against the best defense in the league
– Zion dismantling the twin tower frontcourt
– Herb Jones 4/5 from 3
We are absolutely flocking tonight boys!!!
So we were just missing Larry. Got it. Flock on up
Holy mackerel. If you thought the Pelicans didn’t have another gear, you were wrong. Even without Trey, the return of Larry has been huge. Add in Herb hitting outside shots, and this team is a freight train.
You know the Pelicans are playing good when Joel
And AD are busting out the cooking metaphors for BI.
I had a light dinner tonight with a small serving of chicken teriyaki fried rice made on our blackstone griddle. Might make some victory soup
7 games above .500 baby. Shout out to Willie he was solid tonight. Made adjustments and solid subs. This is what we wanted. Flock the fuck up.
Honestly I just wish Josh Hart were here to see this.
Usually I’m very indifferent on individual game wins. Normally it’s cause we beat a bad to mid team and sometimes even then we lose.
THIS win however is where the optimists are fully justified. To go on the road on the 2nd night of a back to back and beat the #1 seed in the west, and beat them convincingly, forget it was by 11 the game wasn’t that close when it mattered. Games like these are the ones where the pendulum swings imo.
Kat is weird man
But that was a damn performance!
We’re contenders
Can we please talk about how Bi has put so much effort into become a good defender, getting steals, blocking shots
Wolves coach just said they played “soft in the middle” against Zion. How the turn tables.
“Herb sets the tone for the entire game” – Zion Williamson spitting facts in the postgame
Outscored by 10 in the fourth! Willie what is we doing /s
SCRATCHED A MILLION OF MY CHECKLIST THREE YEARS AGO
Zion answering Jen’s questions about himself: 😶
Zion answering questions about Herb: 🤩
Zion is getting back into game shape and hustling more than I’ve ever seen!!! Sliding those puppies, making great reads…UH OH!!!!!!
I’m also going to say that I am wrong about Zion and BI’s fit. I believed in it for a really long time and gave up last month. These 2 are really figuring it out 👀👀.
Beautiful game and superstar effort from Z!!! The fit is looking better every game
Wish I could figure out how to put the Gif of Kobe saying SOFT. Tired of hearing HEEEEEYYYYYY everytime the wolves drive to the basket.
This is truly the best timeline
Please no more Fire Willie Green messages. He is good.
pels now 1-0 when i wear my scottie barnes jersey. not really sure what to make of that, but i’ll take it
They better put some respect on our heads
We just beat a number one seed, dominated them, playing a back to back, and this was on the road
We are winning the whole thang!!!
Need Trey back for Willie to stop playing the non shooters lineup with BI
