The New Orleans Pelicans (9-8) will host the San Antonio Spurs (11-6) on Wednesday evening, hoping to break a streak of ineptitude similar to the one Alvin Gentry had against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Since the present head coach took over for Monty Williams, the Pelicans have bested the Spurs just twice in eight games.
Come every season for several years now, predictions have been made speculating the time is ripe for San Antonio to take a step back, yet each completed campaign goes on to prove the naysayers wrong.
