    Common Zion W tonight. Menace of a player. Everyone gonna find out in the playoffs 🚨🚨 Flock up

  2. 12 over .500. 7-1 in Feb. 4 in a row.

    Back at it tomorrow vs Miami

  3. Qwerty_Turkey

    Anyone catch who the T was on at the end? What a game by Herb GO PELS

  4. Julep2005

    Herbert(sharpshooter) Keyshawn(Not on Herb) Jones(The Goat)

  5. _Wado3000

    Team goes as Herb goes. Don’t let tomorrow be a blowout the other way.

  6. Mesame121489

    Pels won 8 vs 5. Z was great. CJ was good but Herb was amazing, 12 games above .500.

  7. Z can easily average 8+ assists if we actually commit to using him as a pg

  8. JayDogon504

    So refreshing to have a team who consistently takes care of business. Pels and Saints have given us many teams who could beat the best in the league and then lose to the worst within the next slate of games

  9. afriendlyspider

    50+ wins would be nice, I hope they can get there

  10. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Is the game over yet? Lmao.

    Herb was on Demon time, Trey shot horrendously but did get 3 steals and 3 blocks. CJ and JV looked some of the best they’ve looked this season. Zion had a pretty standard game by his standards. Refs didn’t help his percentages at all.

    Don’t love the amount of minutes some guys played with 3 games in 4 nights and the back to back, but just coming off a break I kinda sorta get it.

  11. Bhavin411

    Herb Jones would win FMVP if we win it all this season and it would be well fucking deserved.

  12. OrganicHunt952

    Y’all are 5th now grats we beat suns for y’all

  13. Didn’t get to watch but was really hoping Trey would come back from ASB better than 2-10.

  14. GatorEggs-

    Herb fell to the 2nd round because he didn’t dribble fancy in college

  15. ___DEADPOOL______

    I want to be Herb Jones when I grow up even though I am 8 years older than him 

  16. mitch3311

    That was fire. Herbert jones plays well, the pelicans win BIG!

    Z reached in the bag tonight too. Hit the euro 👀, that left to right on the baseline against alpi, that little runner going right across the lane, that little jump hook from 8-9 feet over brooks…that was fucking gorgeous. Jumper looks like it’s coming too. The arc looked great at the free throw line. I know he has it all in his bag, just gotta start pulling it out in games.

    Dude is getting close. When his body gets to that Duke level again, it’s officially on. Doesn’t look too far away either 🤞🏻.

    Next year man. Next year is the one. I pray Z stays healthy and can work this summer 🙏🏻
