re: I’m convinced Griff sat on a horseshoe over the summer

If we actually make the playoffs, then he honestly deserves to get strong consideration for Executive of the Year. Of course, he won't, just like Willie won't get consideration for Coach of the Year, because we didn't win enough games for those awards. I just think that if, before the season started, you asked any single person in the league whether the Pelicans could make the playoffs without Zion, they'd have looked at you like you were from Mars.
