Well friends, this is officially the end of the road for the Pelicans.
The Pelicans will close their 2016-17 season against the Portland Trailblazers. The outcome of this game is by and large irrelevant: Portland is locked into the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs; New Orleans is, as we all know, on the outside looking in. The game will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN.
After a promising month of March, April has been a complete polar opposite for New Orleans. In March the Pelicans won double digit games for the first time in years; in April they have yet to win a game.
