And it all comes down to Wednesday.
No more talking about the Thunder. The Pelicans, and their fans, can focus on one thing: The San Antonio Spurs. Nothing else matters.
Win and you’re in. Lose and go home. Whatever cliche you want. Say it with a dark, rumbling voice. It fits.
Wednesday is the biggest game of the past four years. Arguably bigger than the playoff series against the Lakers. That team, led by Chris Paul, the beloved son, wasn’t expecting greatness beyond that year. It feels different for Anthony Davis. Yes, if the Pelicans lose it will hurt, but it’s only a one game difference when it comes to the W’s and L’s.
