The term 'continuity' has been used often in conjunction with the New Orleans Pelicans since the past offseason. After the 2014-15 team was eliminated by the Golden State Warriors last April, the front office decided to bring back most of the roster for another run together, instead only making a change at head coach.
Many figured this was a good thing, and some like Bill Simmons, claimed New Orleans should even be considered a dark horse for the title.
NBA title odds are out of whack. Pelicans at 45-1 is way too high.
