Due to some tough losses of the Oklahoma City Thunder we are suddenly on red alert. I have been placed on the extremely important job of Pelican Watch, breaking down the team's performance as we close in on the end of the regular season. The games at this point are almost too vital.
The Thunder fell to the Spurs again tonight and went into the game with a .5 lead on the Pelicans. Well we all counted our blessings tonight as the Thunder game ended because we knew the Pelicans had Golden State, one of the most lethal teams in the NBA.
I don't think the red hot Pelicans cared... The Pelicans closed out with some great 4th quarter play from their superstar Anthony Davis. Steph CUrry out played by Davis and missing a shot at the end of regulation to tie it. Davis finished with 29 and looked the part of a top 5 NBA team.
Now. Thunder fans let me warn you. Don't look past this game for the Pelicans. I was assigned to watch it and I was honestly impressed with the team in every way. They made a great team work for everything they got on the offensive. I know you look at the 100 points given up and think they didn't play great defense but take into consideration that Golden State is one of the most unstoppable teams offensively of all time. I mean that. Look it up.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. This Pelicans team is nothing to look over. With just 4 games left and the Pelicans owning the tie breaker the chances of the Thunder falling completely out of the playoff race is a real possibility.
Pelican watch will continue tomorrow night at Memphis stay tuned for episode 2!
...Maybe we should start trying to figure out who the starting quarterback is at OU? It might be football season before we know it.
