After months and months of waiting, the New Orleans Pelicans are finally back on the court on Tuesday night. As it so happens, the team they face off against, the Golden State Warriors, is the same on that ended the Pelicans season last April and went on to win the NBA Championship.
Winning for the Pelicans wouldn’t be an easy task if everything was perfect. Golden State was one of the best teams in NBA history last season and boast one of the best home court advantages in the league. Combine that with another year of growth and now major losses along with the atmosphere that will surely be even better than normal after the Warriors get their NBA Championship rings, and it could be one of the hardest games to win for any team all season.
