It is no coincidence that I am writing this piece two days before we reach . A month ago, I wrote a piece setting a target days of January 9th for the Pelicans to decide which direction to take, and set a win total of 13 as the bare minimum for what they would need to have to take the path that said ‘Playoffs’ over the one that said ‘Blow it up’. They have one game before that set date and they are at 11 wins, so you know which direction I think should be pursued.
I also don’t think that it is a coincidence that Gentry used the phrase ‘Point of No Return’ two weeks ago when discussing this team.
