  1. 1-1 and 3 to go in this stretch.
    Not too shabby so far, fellas.
    Not too shabby.

  2. Briguy_fieri

    I had ramen for dinner.

    They never stood a chance.

  3. SdotPaul504

    This must be how Sixers fans feel. Ain’t a better game to watch than when Zion actually gets a real whistle

  4. Huge win. Superstar Zion. Clutch FTs were a sight to behold.

  5. _Wado3000

    Yo JV is **never** closing in the playoffs at this rate lol. Zion hitting those clutch FT’s was huge, as well as his and Trey’s clutch defensive rebounds.

  6. Wakandaforever456

    Zion is going to breakout as an MVP Star in the playoffs. Book it

  7. Julep2005

    Defensive masterclass. Holding the bucs to 100 is insane. Herb for DPOH and JV owns the bucs. Have a goodnight y’all!

  8. Razor-Ramon-Sessions

    Let’s flocking go. Bounce back win.

  9. cheifking

    “The rules change as much as the lights on Poydras” – Antonio Daniels, True New Orleans Legend 😂
    Flock Up!

  10. motivate_cs

    Games go much smoother when zion gets a fair whistle. Big dub for the fellas

  11. That was huge. See what happens when you play through your Star in the clutch?

  12. afriendlyspider

    The late game offense is broken, they’ll have to have decent leads and play elite defense to win in the playoffs. It can be done but the margin for error is thin

  13. Briguy_fieri

    Holy fuck. Cj name-dropping Giannis on favorable calls is insane in an interview

  14. silliputti0907

    We need to be nicer to CJ. As hit or miss he can get, with BI out, we NEED him to be aggressive during this stretch.

  15. Mesame121489

    The boys with the clutch fucking free throws. Z you need to take over in the clutch more don’t bail the other team out. Also I’ll say this again HERB JONES DESERVES TO BE THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR. And you live by the CJ, you die by the CJ, we lived today. Now let’s go get ready for a pissed off Boston team lol.

    Edit: Larry bro please look at the rim.

  16. ChocolateTemporary72

    Good things happen when you play Jonas

  17. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Won despite going 8-32 from 3. 6 turnovers to 14 helps.

    Glad Zion took the challenge of taking and making those late game FTs. Was 10-16 overall from the line though so he could be better about that. Had 11 of the Pels 18 points in the final 6:46 that’s great. Also I loved how hyped he got even though that charge call got overturned. It’s the willingness of him to go out there late in the game and ready to take a charge from Giannis of all people that matters.

    JV was huge in the minutes he provided. Don’t know why he wasn’t in over Larry at the end. Larry did play some good defense on Giannis and overall in spots late but he passed up 2 comically good looks that could’ve sealed the game sooner. And I don’t think Larry was horrible all game either I think he was pretty solid from what you would expect.

    I like that Trey despite not shooting well had 11 rebounds. Herb probably could’ve gone for a 5×5 if he didn’t get into foul trouble.

    Overall I think a pretty good win. Bucks are a bad matchup for the Pels and they weathered the Giannis battering ram offense in the 3rd.

  18. Turnover differential was the difference in this game. We shot horribly from 3…but it makes a huge difference when we force turnovers and take care of the ball.

    Good to see three of our guys come through in the clutch at the FT line. Also…nice to see Z takeover late in the 4Q.

    LFG !!!!

  19. Let’s get another W against boston, they clinched the first seed of east and just lose to hawks

  20. I’m not a Pels fan but everytime I watch you guys I notice how good your commentators are, especially the younger guy who always provides analysis. Glad you guys are on a roll.
