what’s the quickest way to get noticed in the NBA? How about blow out the team who had the best record in the NBA last season on their home court. Also, follow that up by scoring the most points in your franchise history in another blowout win in your home opener. What else do the New Orleans Pelicans have to do to get some respect around here? Apparently nothing.
In the most recent NBA power rankings posted on nba.com, the Pelicans have risen all the way up to third on the list, only behind the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets.
