The Golden State Warriors have limped through the first two games of the season with a gaggle of wide-eyed youngsters flanking Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and D’Angelo Russell. Both contests resulted in blowout losses that were learning experiences for the team and coaching staff, while simultaneously serving as frustration for a Warriors fan base used to domination.
But tonight, Golden State has no time to feel sorry for themselves because they face another injured, winless team, the 0-3 New Orleans Pelicans.

Oleh Kosel of The Bird Writes shared some insight into the Pelicans state of mind after their third loss:
With Jrue Holiday (left knee sprain) and Zion Williamson (right knee meniscus surgery) sitting the contest out, the Pelicans were missing their two best players, but they still very nearly managed to pull off the surprise upset anyway.
