ZION KILLINEMSUNS.
Biggest dub was keeping Booker from dropping 50 again
Zion is a legend!
I hope there is still a chance we can play the Clippers in round 1
Still want to show up for the playoffs
Need the Wolves to hand the Lakers a loss tonight especially since no LeBron.
Zion has been able to play defense like that even before he got here. But in doing so he uses up a fuck ton of energy playing defense like a madman using his athleticism. It’s almost like his slow in game starts lately have been him coasting and letting the game come to him until late(r) in the game; then he shows out on offense and defense. Like once he knows he has enough in the tank to go full throttle on both ends, but doesn’t hit the N0S button until the fourth quarter.
Zion was the best I’ve seen him when we needed it most
Bullying works!
Zion woke up this morning, looked at himself in the mirror and said “Fuck the Suns.”
It looked close at times, but they never stood a chance.
Zion decided that he was going to win that game, and nobody could stop him from doing that.
I pity the team that is going to play Zion in the first round. Zion is about to make a statement.
I wasn’t going to watch this game. I really wasn’t. But then I saw we were up in the 3rd, and I just thought “What the hell? What’s a little more faith in the boys?” So happy I watched. Hell of a fourth quarter.
I love it when zion remembers that he’s damn near unguardable driving to his left 😍
I hope Dyson start shoving dudes on the regular
I’m happy asf right now WE FLOCKIN ⚜️
Haven’t been watching – just checking the box score, but looks like Dyson has been playing well since his return. How’s he actually been playing?
Just like the Saints, this proves that the Pelicans are just better on the road
That felt good. Big boy game from Zion
Didn’t get to watch, seems like we did great, but what’s going on with JV? 4 minutes?
So wait, if we’re ~~nice to them~~ not letting Devin Booker hang 50 on us ~~they bring us things~~ we win?
Thank you zion and Jose
I don’t care about the numbers or metrics.
That was the best game of Zions career.
Thank fucking god!
Zion Lateef Williamson has just cured my depression. Thank you king
We’ve been rough on Willie Green this past week…MYSELF INCLUDED…but Willie coached a great game tonight.
That timeout with three mins left in the 4Q…when CJ was about to play hero ball completely changed the game. I’m assuming Willie told CJ to give the ball to Zion and get the fuck out of the way.
Zion was clutch in the 4Q. Loved seeing his midrange. Jose changed the game off the bench. This team was looking unmotivated…and Jose comes in and completely sets the tone.
Larry was pretty good too. Great team win
Just started watching on League Pass. The phantom out of bounds calls are wild.
Dys’s return has been extremely beneficial to the team. Love that he’s starting shit with that crybaby as well.
Idk how to explain it but I needed this win like water in the desert.
I got a feeling everything will work out for us in the end. Denver and the Mavs the only realistic playoff opponents for us that I feel like we can’t fuck with. But if Denver gets the 1 seed, the Mavs stay in the 5 or 4 seed and we get the 6th seed that would mean we could avoid both til the conference Finals. Keep the faith Pels fans, our schedule is running on time!
Sorry Nola, but i want us to play on the road in the playoffs
Missed the game but love the result. Winning tonight does not undo the past games but it’s a start.
Need this team out of the play in for me to feel like we moved forward.
Happy as hell we got the w tho
