Herb Jones first team all defense dont let anybody tell you otherwise
HERB JONES
The New Orleans pelicans are 1-0 this season when /u/Briguy_fieri eats crawfish
Herbert. Keyshawn. Jones.
The last minutes had me worried but we finished strong!
Bro thought he could take Herb 1 on 1 😂😂😂
Young guns are for real.
W
If Twolves beat the spurs is it a game for the tiebreaker against them?
starters all played well, bench was dogshit! I’m happy although brandon didn’t explode offensively that his playmaking was key in this. Hope he’s alright!
Big game for Trey. Huge fourth.
Trey and Herb are untouchable.
Trey will be a future All-Star and, of course, Not On Herb
Herb is fucking amazing. End of the game 3 plus the block. Closed it down for us. His offence was great all game too. Really putting it together on that end too. He would be all defence if it weren’t for our skid and him recovering from his injuries for a while. Such an amazing player.
Jose back soon. Postseason games too. Man I’m excited
Herb was picked 35th. I still can’t believe we just snatched him that late in the draft.
Winning season for the first time in 5 years. Not the way we wanted but I guess we’ll take it?
RJ tonight and JJJ the other night got whatever they wanted in the paint. Are those players just that good, or are we lacking in that area compared to other playoff teams?
I am begging Portland or Spurs to pull a miracle tomorrow
“Scratched 3 million off my checklist a year ago” 🎵🎶
A top-8 seed clinched. Need to win 1 of 2 to stay in. The 2nd (if necessary) is at home. A winning record for the 1st time in 5 seasons. Despite all the disappointment. this team has improved.
And as unlikely as it’s looking (THANKS PHOENIX!), they could still go higher if they win against Minnesota. If any 1 of the Warriors, Lakers, or Clippers lose, they move up to 7. If any 2 lose they go to 6. If all 3 lose, they incredibly get to 5.
Herb just makes all the right plays.
My thoughts on the game:
Tom Thibodeau’s upper eyelids prevent him from looking left or right without turning his head.
Enjoyed the back and forth with Hart and the team. You can tell Josh he wanted to show off in his former city and against former teammates. I think we’d all love to have
him back and appreciated his game when he was here.
While the Pelicans should have dominated more considering how many players the Knicks had out, a contested game keeps them sharp to get ready for the post season.
As nice as it would be to have Zion back, I’d settle for the spark Jose brings to the game
if we could get him back.
Only one good thing about having your last game of the season on the road in Minnesota…it isn’t January.
Are we going to get stuck playing in LA against the Lakers in the 7/8 matchup?
One of the very few good things in the later half of this season is that Herb is slowly fulfilling the offensive potential that we’re promised last season. Struggling against a short handed Knicks is still a bad look
Last home game of the season!! Glad I got to make this game. Trigga Trey is that dude!!
Herb Madafakin Jones!
Please No more BI/Dyson/Naji/Larry Line up. Disgusting. Can BI at least Pair with one of CJ/Trey？
9-2 in your last 11 games..
Most dangerous team entering the playoffs..
Just got home from the game. Great game. Surprised so many empty seats. Was it because of Good Friday?
Still bummed no Robinson or Brunson or Randle (or Zion or Jose). I’d love to see these two teams play a series with both teams at full strength.
Love seeing Herb and Trey getting to show what they can do!
Pels gonna pels
CAWWWWW
trey and herb killed it tonight
[me after this win](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnACyCBm8aY)
Definitely peaking at the right time again 😎💪
