Ahead of NYK, PHX, DAL in that order.

They became the first team in the past two seasons to win back-to-back games without scoring 100 points in either game and the first this season to hold their opponent to fewer than 90 points in consecutive games. Lopez

Well I appreciate the positive spin by Lopez. The fact is though we played the blazers and grizzlies and barely survived.

I want to see us hold Booker under 50 in a Pels win before ranking the Pels higher than Phoenix.

Not surprised. NYK has been on a losing streak as of late, Dallas was under .500 in December, and Phoenix is probably the only team that you can arguably claim to be as good or better than the Pelicans right now.

The Athletic has us at #9, not in the "Contender" category, but "On the Brink of Contention." That seems about right.

Fun fact: The Pelicans have played (41) conference games. No other NBA team has played 40 conference games. Every team above us in the west has played 34/35/35/33/34

MIN- 34
OKC- 35
LAC- 34
DEN- 33
PHX- 34
Pels-41
DAL- 38
SAC- 35
LAL- 37
GSW- 33

33-22 at the break is solid knowing that stat.
