And happy birthday to Jose Alvarado

Woot

Just win baby.

MUST win game for us.

I've heard a rumor that Zion is going to paint his face black, wear a cape, and carry a black baseball bat. He is going to rappel from the rafters and do the scorpion death lock on SGA and the Pels will win by 50!

Surely painting his face white would be more appropriate?

I suppose Sting doing black face would have been a really bad idea...

It's supposed to be entertainment, right? Lol
Might as well have Zion do something useful until he can play again...

Not in our house. Want that rematch with the Wolves baby!!! Take care of business and don't let SGA get a rhythm going.

3 of the 4 games was decided by 4pts or less...the last game okc won 110-96......this game will not be a pushover and nance is a game time decision...if nance cant play that leaves jax and billy to step up....cj and ingram will be together in this game....herb playing better now.....trey playing better now......we should win this ....go pels...

Hmmm sure would have been nice if billy and/or jax had some minutes in the last month. I’d still trust Billy he’s a vet and is probably chomping at the bit, Jax idk.

back in dec. jax had a 20pt game against okc and it was alot of running and gunning for him so he can run the floor real well so he should be ready just to run....but if nance can go then we will see herb at the 5 and a hobble nance smh..

This could be JAX' last game as a Pelican. Sure would be nice to see him play.

Hoping the SKC is packed out

big Jonas with 3 rebounds and 2 buckets in the first 2 min let?s go! And herb made an insanely good defensive play don?t know how he did that

JV identifies the key weakness of the Thunder: they're small and skinny as a team.

JV is playing with passion! Color me impressed

In less than four minutes JV has 8 rebounds.

The onus is now on Green to recognise that and choose JV continually, as well as focusing on the team in general to identify the glass and the paint as an area of focus.

Kira Lewis out of absolutely nowhere

First off the bench = Kira.

Kira Lewis bricked the hell out of that 3 but almost redeemed himself with a steal.
