Brotherhood Watch: Against All Odds, Brandon Ingram And The Pelicans Are In The NBA Playoffs

This is really an amazing story

Brandon Ingram drives against the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2022 NBA Playoffs.

To be honest, we don’t spend a lot of time on the NBA during college basketball season. We see the highlights, generally know who's hot and follow things of interest.

But without Zion Williamson, honestly, we haven’t paid much attention to the New Orleans Pelicans.

They started 1-12 and we just assumed it was a lost season.

Well as it turns out, not quite.

They had to beat San Antonio (with Tre Jones) and the LA Clippers (with Luke Kennard) to do it in play-in games, but they did.
