A cast of D-League players and NBA journeymen are now winning meaningless games for the New Orleans Pelicans. Last week they went 3-1, the best week for the Pelicans since they went 3-1 in middle January. A win over the New York Knicks came with a significant cost as Jrue Holiday and Alonzo Gee suffered season-ending injuries. After a competitive loss against the San Antonio Spurs this rag-tag bunch racked up wins over the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets.
On the plus side, wow TIm Frazier might be a superb third point guard (behind Holiday and Tyreke Evans) or possibly a competent one if one of those players is traded.
