Rev up those friers because I am ready for another Pelicans loss. 1-12, here we come baby.
Tonight we play the 8-4 Brooklyn Nets, 3rd in the East, with KD having a monster offensive year and Harden starting to come back round as a shooter, even if his overall numbers are a shadow of their former selves due to FT rate reductions and such.
The odds of us winning this game are extremely low. Even if we get monster games from Devonte' and NAW and JV, that will almost certainly not matter, because we got that last game. NAW gave us his best performance of the season, JV had 25/15, and even though Devonte' didn't light it up he had 18 and passed well throughout - what let us down is precisely what keeps letting us down, with the most regularity. That is, bench minutes: our 9th man is currently having to act as the 6th man due to multiple injuries, and when that happens you end up with what we have - a team that plays 3 or 4 guys who should just not be in the rotation at all.
But hey, miracles happen.
