A Los Angeles Lakers-New Orleans Pelicans playoff series would be fun to watch.
Pick your favorite Los Angeles Lakers-New Orleans Pelicans storyline. This series promises to be the highest-rated first-round playoff series in NBA history. Granted, the Pelicans were 0-4 vs the Lakers, but they lost by 10 points or less each time.
They have a chance. Or do they?
Defense wins championships. The Pelicans are fourth in points allowed. I am saying there is a chance! Whoops! I looked at it backwards. They’re actually only ahead of the Timberwolves, Hawks, and Wizards in total points allowed per game – the unholy triumvirate of bad NBA defenses.
