Blazers vs pelicans game thread

Hopefully they get their confidence back and that fight in them after this game.. although i would be cautious with our expectations because that blazer team without dame looked liked a worse version of the rockets.

Currently in a 4 way tie for 9th with Utah, OKC and LAL at 33-35. Important game on Tuesday.

Don't understand what method ESPN uses to decide how to list the tied teams. We have the best division record, the best conference record and the second best points differential, yet somehow we're listed last among the 4 teams. Its not alphabetical. Is it just Pels hate?

9 Utah Jazz
10 Oklahoma City Thunder
11 Los Angeles Lakers
12 New Orleans Pelicans

Do we have the worst head to head record with those teams?

That's got to be it. Our 0-3 vs Utah really kills us. We're 3-6, OK is 4-5, Lakers are 3-4, Jazz are 6-2

So this was explained to me on Twitter. It apparently goes by combined W/L records of all teams tied. Going 0-3 vs Utah really hurt the Pelicans (because they’re 3-1 vs OKC.)
