New Orleans tips off against the Phoenix Suns tonight at 9 PM for what should turn out to be an easy win for the Pelicans. While NOLA, like all teams, should try anything possible to capture as many victories as possible, maybe coach Alvin Gentry should consider cutting down on stater minutes and loan some to the rosters role players, in preparation for what lies ahead.
In four of their next five contests the Pelicans square off against some of the top-tier talents the league has to offer. Match-ups with Minnesota, Portland and Golden State (twice) await New Orleans in the proceedings days.
