    Not to overreact but

    LETS FUCKINGGGG GOOOOOOOO BOYSSSS PELS STACKED

  2. poorwhitecash

    These pelicans are beating the best teams in the league, without 2 of their best 6 players. League officially fucked. LET’S GO BIRDS!

  3. ChineseFishTickler

    Can’t believe we beat the refs for once!!!

  4. asapshrank

    This team absolutely killed this homestand, particularly the past 5 games we looked absolutely fantastic. Once we get Trey and CJ Back.. man.

  5. Woockawoo

    As Joel said: “The D is the key”

    I freaking love you guys and hate the refs

  6. Gamez6444

    You know what? I’m just glad we got the win. To much stress before thanksgiving.

  7. Zion and BI have the potential to be the best duo in the league

  8. zekeboy_300

    Refs tried sooooo hard to give this game to the kings ggs happy thanksgiving y’all ! 🦃🍽️

  9. Electronic-Sea4913

    Zion and BI playing through each other unlocks a dimension on offense we haven’t seen before. Makes you wonder why they didn’t use those screen actions before, but whatever, I’ll take it.

  10. BasketTimely

    The defensive effort in the closing minutes was outstanding.

    Specifically the possession where Fox made that tough shot. BI and Herb were EVERYWHERE.

    By far one of the best defensive games I’ve ever seen BI play. Keep playing with that effort and this team will do something special down the line.

  11. Not to get too excited here but uh guys…I think the Pels might be stacked 👀

  12. Good_NewsEveryone

    We did a coherent play between our two best players to finish a game? What team is this?

  13. Wakandaforever456

    Herb Jones was by far the MOTM. Easily the best perimeter defender in the league. This team will.be dangerous come playoff time.

  14. ___DEADPOOL______

    The Pelicans are vertically assembled and the league is in a compromised position

  15. Mesame121489

    Beating the Kings and the refs tonight whooooo…… Also fuck this league and these garbage ass refs they trot out everyday. All we are looking for is consistency if it’s a foul on one end it’s a foul on another. Z and BI get mauled all fucking game and get nothing, other flop and throw their head around and get the call. No reacts like that naturally when they get hit. Trash ass NBA.

  16. The usual negative nancies quiet tonight. In happy times lol.

  17. Great win. Cold from 3 + getting an unfavorable whistle and still pulled it out

  18. Man I love playing the kings. Over .500 once again let’s keep rolling. Beaten a lot of good teams on this home stretch.

    It was very satisfying winning after hearing the kings commentators blahing on about refs all night. Talking about Jose selling when he back from injury like sabonis isn’t on the floor every chance he gets

  19. Jose earning himself minutes like he always does. Blue collar typa guy

  20. IronLionZion83

    Herb is such a ridiculously hustle driven and insanely gifted defender… they kept rolling back the replay for the damn play clock reset, but I wanted to see the smoothest damn defensive switchoff of the game there, swear to God he turned into a shadow and into the fourth dimension or some shit, it didn’t even look human how he was glidin 😂 SQUADDDDD UP

  21. World-Nomad

    I can’t believe the Kings fans are over there whining about the refs. Not sure what game they were watching 😂

  22. Excellent win tonight fellas. One thing that can’t be overlooked though…this game proved how much we need CJ. Herb and Dyson are too inconsistent from 3…and Hawk is a rookie.

    We’ve got to have CJ(and Trey) in these types of games…to balance the 3PT shooting

  23. Sure_Ad8093

    The Kings thread is the Upsidedown. Complaining about how the refs screwed them and Zion got all the whistles.

  24. Briguy_fieri

    The pelicans are 1-0 when I’m in attendance actively looking for pasta

  25. BobMarleynthewhalers

    As someone who most critical of JV. I will the first to say he has been playing so dominant the past 4 games. He made me shut up. Its nice to see him get involved with the offense and contribute down there. When BI couldnt get it going on his jumper JV fought to get those offensive rebounds. He is legit one of the strongest centers in the league and even with his flaws Im glad we have him. GO JONAS

  26. SpaceAfricanJesus

    So I was sitting 3rd row from court side.

    If Zion got the whistle Sabonis got this game he’d have at least 30 free throws.

  27. GatorEggs-

    Taking a 2-0 series lead early could prove to be huge in the standings
