Everything about the 2015-16 season was a bust for the New Orleans Pelicans, and the start of the season was essentially one big spoiler alert. The Pelicans opened the 2015-16 campaign on national television at the home of the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors and would be without the services of Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, Quincy Pondexter and Omer Asik. Most importantly, Luke Babbitt wasn't available. Even if he was, it wouldn't have made a difference. Not because the Pelicans were the inferior team, but because Babbitt was without his tremendous hair.
