Wounded Warriors, eh? The New Orleans Pelicans have already had the misfortune of facing the league’s most dominant superpower twice this year coming out of embarrassing Warriors’ blowout losses. First, an opening night loss to their Western Conference rival the San Antonio Spurs. Now, a loss on Saturday night to the Baby Lakers and former Warriors assistant Luke Walton.
A fully healthy and in-rhythm Dubs team is one mess; an angry and enthused Death Star Dubs team is wholly another. Granted, this Warriors team isn’t the sort of squad to thrive off of anger or malcontent.
