The New Orleans Pelicans made the playoffs for many reasons (and not all of them are named Anthony Davis). One of the main reasons, is that they had a top-10 offense for most of the year, finishing with an offensive rating of 108.2, good for 8th in the league. The Pelicans offense rated just behind the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, and just ahead of the Portland Trailblazers and Chicago Bulls. In other words, the Pelicans have a high powered offensive attack which includes Davis (who nearly broke PER at one point this season), Tyreke Evans, bombers Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, and when healthy, Jrue Holiday.
