It's here! It's here! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The road to the championship starts today.
Speaking strictly as a Pelicans fan, this off-season felt like the longest off-season in the history of all off-seasons. To me, this off-season didn't just include the 185 days between meaningful Pelicans games; it includes the seven painfully long years that it took to get to this point. In those seven years, Pelicans fans saw their star player leave; their team almost leave, and experienced the agony of irrelevance.
No Mas. Today, the Pelicans are no longer cellar dwellers.
