Just one short week ago, the New Orleans Pelicans were on a roll. They had won five of their last six, including a win over a quality team in Detroit, and their lone loss came against the tough Houston Rockets. Snap back to the present, and the Pelicans are on a three game losing streak after falling to the Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers.
While the contest against the Grizzlies was considered a toss-up and barely a soul predicted them to beat the Spurs, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers (again) turned the fans against the team with breakneck speed.
