  1. Woockawoo

    I truly believe nobody in the west wants to see this team in the first round

  2. TheGhostWithTheMost2

    Great fucking W. Two strong ass teams

  3. Great win. Crunch time win against the 4 seed. Great game for Z

  4. Can we now give Willie credit for benching CJ for the final stretch?

  5. Julep2005

    Finally a game that got me hyped to be a fan again. Get Z to playoffs please, he’s gonna be a monster matchup for anybody.

  6. Briguy_fieri

    Somehow I had the tightest asshole and never a doubt all at the same time. I need a drink to calm me down holy shit.

  7. Old-Cut-4197

    3-1 season series is so impressive🔥 Flock Up!

  8. Ja___av93

    It blows my mind that so many on this sub were against point Zion

  9. geccles97

    What a win! Shoutout to the Clippers commentators thought they were quite good.

  10. hypebeastwill

    Bought a pels shirt, wore it to dinner, subsequent W. Coincidence? I think not

  11. Didn’t get to watch the game cause I’m at work but I was staring at the box score every chance I got. Hell of a win!

  12. GatorEggs-

    Amazing game, stayed in front from start of the 3rd and took all their best punches. Also ZION AND JEN HALE MASTERPIECE COOKED UP LETS FUCKING GO JEN

  13. bucketgetter504

    Someone help me. I was told the Pelicans were frauds who couldn’t show up in playoff atmospheres

  14. SpermCountDracula

    I hear voices in my head they council me they understand they talk to me

  15. That 4th quarter was special. The hustle, the energy, the crowd. Wow.

  16. Great win! Good hustle plays at the end there. Herb’s block on PG was INSANE. Flock up boys! Retro Boomin hit that anthem!!!

  17. viacavour

    Huge win. We have the talent, hopefully this helps build our confidence that we can win these back and forth games against other contenders.

  18. brandonofnola

    Great W! We do really well against west teams compared to east. Which is a good problem to have for playoffs.

  19. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Zion was phenomenal. Started 2-7 with 3 turnovers, some of that due to refball, but cleaned it up and ended 14-21. With still 3 turnovers. 6/10 from the line but eh, I’ll take 34/7/4/3/1 on 67%TS. Also had to deal with some Kawhi and PG iso defensive possessions. He tried at least, got them to miss some shots but they also made some shots cause they’re great players.

    BI did everything well aside from scoring. Even early on when he had 5 points he was playmaking the best he could in spite of the offensive terrorism in the first half.

    Shoutout to Herb, Trey, and even Larry as the game went on for contributing as well. CJ… might wanna take some time off. He doesn’t look right. Although credit to WG for actually having the balls to bench him late in the 4th!

    Happy they got a win on Friday as well 😂

  20. definitelydidntcheat

    I thought BI and Zion played great together. BI’s stat line doesn’t show how good of a game he actually had, even with a poor shooting night by his standards

  21. definitelydidntcheat

    Clips might tank to 6th place to avoid that 4-5 matchup vs the pels

  22. cheifking

    nothing like a good ole clench of the butthole every time we win 😄

    edit: spelling

  23. bucketgetter504

    I’m so fucking proud of this team man. In control the whole fourth quarter and closed it out beautifully

  24. Low_Oven_2146

    That was a statement win, really felt like a playoff game. I’m glad I decided to stay up and watch this one.

    Greetings from Serbia

  25. P0w3rline24

    What a game! Herb bringing himself back from the dead after a head knock I was convinced would take him out. Larry redemption arc. Zion doing exactly what AD suggested for years and “remembering what they said”. He was in his own head for a bit there, no doubt, but I think we can all officially declare those days are through.
    I’m called delusional often for believing in this team but IDGAF, I’m leaning all the way in. See you tomorrow

  26. Aggravating-Lake-717

    That’s the way to respond 

    Portland tomorrow. Another win incoming
