    Impressive win without Zion when it mattered most. Pels just absolutely owned the Kings this season.

  2. simon2105

    The Pelican eats beams for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Pelicans are Kings father.

  3. Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

    The Kings really went 0-6 to the Pelicans without even a playoff series …

  4. Kings used all their sage to exorcise the Warriors demon but didn’t have enough for the Pelicans one

    What was that interior defense

    Rematch of the first round of the play in this Sunday

  5. nerdyykidd

    No All-Star and no playoffs for Sabonis after the year he had is crazy

  6. The Pels just farmed the Kings for 6 wins this season

  7. Palifaith

    Keon Ellis out there playing like a 4 time NBA champion, 5 time All-Star shooting guard.

  8. zgamer200

    Well if nothing else the Kings giving their fans hope for a comeback to end the 3rd only to end up down by 20 halfway through the 4th & losing to the Pels sans Zion is a pretty fitting way for their season to end.

  9. OptimusGrime707

    *sees 2024-2025 schedule*

    *82 Pelicans games*

  10. _SpyriusDroid_

    Beat ourselves. Had plenty of open looks, shot 40% FG, 27% 3PT, and 68% FT. Can’t beat anyone with those numbers.

    Sad beam noises.

    Gg Pels.

  11. AnEmptyKarst

    We went 6-0 against the Kings, without facing them in a series, and I guess that’s something to be happy about

    *chuckles* I’m in danger though

  12. Raspberry_Anxious

    Kings second biggest accomplishment in the last 18 years was winning a play in game

  13. Slashers23

    Pelicans went 6-0 against the Kings this season without even needing a playoff series, that’s crazy

  14. HaoZhang291

    Kings couldn’t make a 3 to save their lives(season in this case)

  15. THEREWILLBECAK3

    New Orleans is Sacramento’s father

  16. lolxddavid

    Kings have Lakers number
    Pelicans has Kings number
    Lakers has Pelicans number
    lmao what a regular season man

  17. thewavefixation

    Ingram is hilarious right now on TNT

  18. boringexplanation

    Why do you dirty loud wannabe seagulls hate us so much?

  19. KingCakeBabyOKC

    This was a 48 minute highlight reel on why you don’t build around players like Domantas Sabonis unless they’re historically elite offensively. The Pacers made out like bandits.

    I’m looking at you, Houston.

  20. BarrenHoles

    6 extra games to lose Zion and Jimmy, and the 9th/10th seeds still miss the playoffs.

  21. iluvugoldenblue

    Great season pels, it’s been great to see a mostly healthy Zion be what we hoped he would be after college. Your team plays hungry and you’ve earned this spot, really the last 2-3 seasons tbh. 6-0 is pure dominance. Good luck in the post season!

  22. skratsda

    Brandon Ingram saying he doesn’t know what CJ’s text said is absolutely hilarious

  23. Reinhardtisawesom

    GOD BLESS THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS

  24. Pizuzu21

    PLAYOFF BOUND, I WAS SO PREPARED TO BE SAD AS FUCK TONIGHT

    Sorry Kingbros, I hope for us both next season

  25. Oldabandoned

    Pels are fun. They’re outgunned by the Thunder, but they are long and a little older. I could see them stealing a game or two.

    People will clown Domas and Fox, but they were fine. But they have to find an actual rim protector at the 4. Way to many easy layups at the rim, leaving Domas down their by himself is pointless.

  26. silliputti0907

    This is the same rotation from 2 years ago when we faced the Suns with 3 rookies who got a lot better. Pels going to give OKC a fight.
