The national media is very biased toward the status quo trends. Very few deviate in their status quo thinking. And the status quo bias says two bigs can’t be your core. If the Pelicans have a great season, a new status quo will emerge and all of the sudden the national media will run silly think pieces about who the next Big Man duo will be. How great the Pelicans can be, if the Pelicans just ushered in a new era, and how the media missed it. And on the latter, none of them will mention the fact that they miss it because they only assume what is true at the moment will be true indefinitely.
