Psyched for this game. We should have BI and JV. Hopefully, BI continues to be back to pre-injury form.

I don't know much about the Hawks as I've not watched them. They are 100% healthy -except for Dejaunte Murray who got a migrane today. Maybe John Collins is a DNP cause he's getting traded tomorrow?

Dejounte Murray (migraine headache) is questionable to play tonight for the Hawks.

I want to see more of the same for Trey. I want him to get more comfortable being a big time scoring option when necessary.

Gotta get Trey involved early. Let him start fast.

Wow the hang time on that drive BI

God I want to see BI and Zion together again

Good step back from Trey. I love how aggressive he is being even if it doesn’t always pan off. He should be up there with CJ for 3rd scoring option.

BI cooking tonight. Looks very easy for him.

Lol that double clutch 3 by CJ is when you turn your screen off as a Hawks fan.

Pelicans playing well against a really good Atlanta team.

Hope I didn’t jinx us

Can’t wait for Bion Ingramson

Another great BI game. Get out of here those trying to trade him for KD!

Crap Jose don’t break BI’S neck

Feels good to see people moving on offense again.

Also like that Trey is really trying to use his dribble more often and probe a bit. It keeps defenders honest if they overextend and they can’t just sit on him at the 3 point line. His biggest flaw early in the season was he just would pass up too many shots and not take on the dribble. Willie probably got in his gear and he seems to have gotten the message.

A third consecutive win, and we don't even have a one page game thread. smh

Glad Pelicanidae didn't jinx the win streak lol. Can't wait to have Zion back and the team on a mini-roll

They mostly come out at night... Mostly...

Seems some moved over to Saints Report pelicans board. Not much of a game day poster anyway myself.

I don't see much action over there either. Surprised there isn't a forum with more activity, there's a lot of buzz and talk about this team around town.

Someone should start a forum!

Was at the game. Had a blast. BI makes very difficult shots look easy.

I want to be on the record saying that this is my favorite version of Hornets/Pelicans since the days of Muggsy, LJ and Mourning. With ups and dows, this team gives me so much joy watching them. When they have fun playing with each other it means this is time for some fascinating basketball.

Apparently Zion wasn't on the bench last night.

I really hope he didn't suffer a setback.

I was wondering about that. None of the announcers acted like he did. They kept talking about how close he was to returning.

Yeah, I hope I'm wrong. Willie's quote was that we're not gonna see the full starting 5 before the ASB "but we'll see." If there was a true setback I guess he wouldn't have added that last bit of hope. I don't know anything!
