Well I'll be damned. Nice W Pels. Fun team to root for, though I also like the Suns as far as front runners go. Shaping up to be a fun series. Or maybe NOP just woke the dragon...

Didn’t expect much from these Pelicans but they have earned my respect. Didn’t celebrate much after a good win. They mean business. Hope Ingram’s ankle is fine.

I am just trying to imagine this Pels team with Zion man. They can be serious contenders as soon as next season.

Why are people only high Ingram now? I thought he already broke out 2 seasons ago?

37/11/9 on 75% TS on the road against the #1 team in the league and DPOY runner-up at his position.

Gooood **** Pels.

Hopefully the Booker sit was just precautionary. I'd add that the Suns were a -6 with him on the floor.

Man New Orleans earned that win. PHX kept hitting shots down the stretch and it could’ve been easy for them to fold under pressure. They just kept knocking down big shot after big shot. Good stuff. Brandon Ingram and McCullum were huge. Great game.

I said last season that no matter what happens Jae Crowder isn't the answer for the Suns at PF and he continues to not be the answer for the Suns at PF.

Hopefully this shows Zion they can do with our without him, and it motivates him to get his big buffalo butt out there next year. Because if he competes they can be a special young team just like Memphis.

Most people haven't watched him too much. Also many see the Pels W/L record over the last few years and think he is an empty stat guy.

So I think this is the first time many are seeing him on a big stage and seeing just how much he really can impact the game.
