The New Orleans Pelicans will be without four of their five usual starters in tonight’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers ... and I’m good with it.
As I wrote in the preview, this game was supposed to have been played on December 19, but due to the Sixers inability to meet the eight healthy bodies quota, the matchup was postponed — much to the detriment of the Pelicans.
Honestly, love this 'kiss my ass' move.
76ers subverted original Dec. 19 matchup and then NBA whammied Pelicans in figuring out date for postponed game by adding 2 back-to-backs to their schedule.
