"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Welp, Phoenix did us no favors tonight. Heres to hoping they go 0-4 their next 4 games.
Im just syaing the Suns are a non factor, will we win those tough games and catch OKC? I dont know Houston game and Suns/OKC game are painful.
look at this...
Thunder and #Pelicans both off next two days. Wednesday: Dal/OKC; NOLA/LAL. Friday: OKC/Mem; NOLA/Sac. Saturday: NOLA/Por. Sunday: Hou/OKC

if a week from tonight we are worse than 1 game back... we didn't do enough during this upcoming stretch
Dallas has OKC away, Houston home, GSW home. If they lose 2-3, OKC might catch them. So it is important for them to stay in front of OKC.
OKC is fighting for 7-8 th seed, Houston is fighting for second seed. GSW probably will rest someone, but they are very deep...
The easiest way is to win at OKC. We are to far away from Dallas, and we have lost the season series to Mavs (they have couple of easy games left)... So do not think about Dallas losing 6-7 from 8. no chance.
This morning I listened to Hangtime podcast from yesterday.
Brian Windhorst talked about OKC injuries
then added that NOLA/Houston are most beat up teams that no one seems to talk about.
Nice that doesn't escape everyone from the national media.
Gives me hope for them.
Still, I'll get 95% of my Pelicans news from BSS & TBW.
the other thing that could hold us down are the NBA and their officials if they do not want us to win. See Clippers ge last week. we going to have to beat them too.
Outside of the timberwolves and kings game OKC's run home I would say is a little more difficult then ours. If we can get any sort of contribution from RYNO and Jrue if they do come back...well more in the case of Jrue I have some sort of belief we could reach the playoffs. Remember we do own that tie breaker so we all we need to do is match OKC's record and were in. Let's hope the warriors rest their main guys when we play them next too. And hell even if we don't make it I honestly feel like this season has been a success. Yeah we don't own any picks but we do have free agency and the possibility of a trade of two and really that with some more injury luck is all we need to enter that upper echelon in the western conference next season.
Ryno is said to me coming back on the upcoming road trip also. Should help us, a little.

Also what is the timeline on Ibaka's return? Is he done for year?
