No 1: New Orleans Pelicans :hihi::D

Surprised? Don't be. These Pelicans are for real.

Even with Williamson playing just 19 games, this is already the most-used five-man lineup the Pelicans have. They've already spent over 100 more minutes together than the second-place Los Angeles Clippers and have produced a net rating nearly seven points per 100 possessions higher.

Holiday is an elite defender in the backcourt, Ball has become a good outside shooter, and Ingram is already an All-Star. Mix in a defensive anchor like Favors and a budding superstar in Williamson, and New Orleans has the best starting five in the entire NBA.

Oh the fiends won’t like this. And I’m here for it.

This seems.... premature

Was just reading this. I love it. Lol

And YEEEEES we know it means nothing. Wins matter.

But the NBA sucks. The league is a joke. I love the Pels but hate the NBA. This thing is poorly slanted towards the special teams and stars. We all know this. We've all been gutted by it. It's not rigged like wrestling but officiating absolutely plays a huge part in making sure certain teams win.

Articles like this get me all giddy because that's the type of stuff that shows our time as the "special superstars" is coming.

I agree, but one thing I'm rather sure of is that of all the teams fighting for the 8th seed, the one the LAKERS want to face the least is OUR PELICANS.
