I'm gonna say the Sixers take this one due to the Pelican Theory of Alternating Outcomes.

philly is -10 on a few books right now. if i was a betting man, i'd lay a few bucks on philly ASAP before that line goes down.

The prevailing rule is that the Pelicans cannot go two games above or below .500. Thus a win tonight wouldn't break that rule (a loss wouldn't either but I'm being an optimist).

I'll be at the Well Fargo Center tonight and have yet to see the Pels win a regular season game. That trend is due to break.

Im reluctant to give you naming rights due to your propensity to root for the Rockets. But when youve got something youve got something. This is now the official name (PTAO for short).

My Pelicans are going to crack Hugo's 76ers like the Liberty Bell.

The last game we played we won? We are playing a terrible Eastern Conference team? Jrue and AD aren't playing?

And thats two fold; in both directions.
-We SHOULD put a hurting on them and blow em out.

-If we rack up an L, the pain of mediocrity is stinging. Frick, the Bucks even have a better record.

Sixers have had a top 10 defense since Dec 1. No Jrue and AD and it could get dicey on that end.

The upside is their offense has been historically bad over that same time frame. The Pelicans can't make them look competent on offense, right? Right?

i hold to my hypothesis that their top 10 defense is due to teams literally giving no shits playing them…sitting players, half assing, etc.

The crazy thing is they are actually a fun team to watch. So many ridiculous athletes on their roster.

The Knicks on the other hand....the Knicks are an abortion.
