re: Would a win tonight change your perspective?

Nope but the sunshine pumpers be out in full swing.

Only way people people hops back on the bus is if they somehow manage to stay out of the play in and that will require them to beat Phoenix, Sacramento, Lakers, and Golden State in the next couple of days. Seems very unrealistic at this point.

And if you have to play both GSW and Lakers twice in a span of a week ending with the play in games, they are absolutely going to outcoach Green.


The only outcome that I can see the team staying out of the playin right now:

Minnesota beats Lakers
Lakers beat GSW
And Phoenix splits with the Clippers.

In that scenario the Pelicans must win out but will be easier since GSW and Lakers will rest their players when they play us.
