  1. I’ve seen enough. Build the team around JV and Naji.

  2. Briguy_fieri

    Homemade peanut noodles for dinner.

    It was over before it even began.

  3. asapshrank

    not a blowout yet we won? what world am i living in rn

    messy turnovers but excellent energy and effort from the guys tonight to get the shorthanded W

    WE FLOCKING!

  4. Needed that win to stop the skid. Good shit Pels. Got out of January 8-7. Schedule lightens up from here so lets go on a run

  5. Good win in the end! Missing two starters, road game, on a three game skid and getting fucked by the refs. Flock up 🆙

  6. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Very whelming win. Down Zion and Herb playing a mediocre Rockets team, getting a win I’ll take it.

    Didn’t like the amount of turnovers and 7 missed FTs though.

  7. Mesame121489

    JV with the 4th quarter carry. See what happens when you run sets and not just ISOs in crunch time. Good bounce back win in the road after the last 3 games.

  8. Ok-Comfortable1111

    So happy to finally see the boys gut out a win

  9. BatmanHive

    Good win, both Kings and Mavs lost too.

    JV was great today, like I have said, you live or die with him. If he doesn’t do well against elite teams, that is on FO but you can’t punish him for small mistakes and take him out. Willie was like an addict tonight but he fought hard against it, two times he tried to bring in Larry but kept Jonas in lol.

    Outside of the turnovers, everyone else contributed to the game as well.

  10. InternationalTea3417

    Jonas has played every game this season.. Such a professional. Never complains. If he gets traded (there is a chance), we will definitely miss his approach to the game.

  11. GatorEggs-

    When you only have the refs in your lap for the first 3 quarters and lose the game because of it: 😟😟😟😟😟

  12. Yeetacus200

    Someone called FVV, Vancheeks and it couldn’t be more appropriate 🤣🤣.

  13. BubbleGumGuy94

    Please for the love of god don’t trade jonas, I’d wanna upgrade the bench more instead

    If they trade him because of the ‘fit’ with Zion, imma be livid, he’s played like every game these past three years and is a rock for our team, and everyone clearly loves him as a teammate

    Also is there a discussion that right now naji is just better and more consistent than dyson?

  14. JayDogon504

    Great win. Shoutout to Jonas, CJ, Naji and Slim. As long as we handle our business this will be a good season

  15. Kwanzaa-Bot

    Gutsy win, especially after the last 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter where we bricked everything and had the refs fucking us.

    JV is a monster.

    Naji with a good game after a rough January.

    BI with too many turnovers.

    Going over .500 in January is satisfactory IMO, even if we missed a couple opportunities here and there. Flock up for the rest of the season!

  16. versaceboudin_

    I’m copping a Jonas jersey. Btw I’ve never owned a Pels jersey since a Mardi Gras AD one (embarrassing) but Jonas deserves it and probably the only one who does

  17. Since I’m a Chiefs fan, I’m taking Jonas playing out of his mind as a good sign for what Kelce is going to do in the Super Bowl

  18. ZachPlaysDrums

    Wouldn’t mind seeing Jonas avg 18 versus the 14 he’s at
