Like Omer Asik trying to receive a pass, the New Orleans Pelicans can’t catch a break. Disappointed after a horrible home loss to the Sixers last Thursday, they were met in the next game by Chris Paul’s first 20-point/20-assist game ever. The next night, a win was in sight against a T.J. Warren-less Phoenix Suns squad. Of course, that game on the second night of the back-to-back would end in overtime.
Sure, a win is a win, but the reward for that win is the opportunity to get eviscerated by the Golden State MVPs. Woo-hoo!
There is almost no sense in comparing the Xs and Os of this matchup; the Pelicans are without the talent necessary to compete with the Warriors.
