Pelicans-Warriors matchup could lack star firepower, but it’s all about the growing youth for New Orleans anyways

The ESPN fight card says the New Orleans Pelicans will battle the Golden State Warriors on Friday, but who doesn’t want to see Stephen Curry vs Didi Louzada?

While it’s blasephemy to suggest a rookie with one game under his belt can slow down the greatest shooter in the league, close followers of the team in New Orleans are salivating at the idea of that individual matchup, myself included. Unless, of course, Steph never leaves the bench.

“We have guys who are legitimately banged up right now. I think we just finished six games in nine days if I’m not mistaken,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters Thursday.
