Everything the media has said about the New Orleans Pelicans organization and fan base has lit a fire. Some are incensed the Pelicans did not cave to Lebron’s, err… the Lakers’ whims by trading Davis at the deadline. Gayle Benson is livid that folks forgot who created the Pelicans. The players who had their reputations burned have played like their NBA lives depend on it (and they might).
Everyone who made the decision to fire Dell Demps has made a concerted effort to alert the league: The Pelicans will do what is best for the Pelicans.
Doing that is exactly what the team and city need.
