re: To all the real basketball guys on this board

The Pelicans are going to be competitive and beat some of the top tier teams. I don't know if they are good enough to make the playoffs in the west though. ^ players are good but after that it's a pretty weak bench. I said before the year that they could be similar to Portland last year, but what they were able to do was pretty remarkable. I think this team could contend in the East.
