re: Magic (4-2) at Pelicans (3-3)| Pels: 99 Magic: 115 Final

In this instance, I hate being right:

Orlando is exactly the type of team in years past I would expect the Pelicans to drop the ball with.

A team with under the radar players that the Pels would show they didn't study the scouting report on, underestimate their team abilities, and come in after a big win with a low energy effort to start the game and lose a winnable game to a beatable team.

Hopefully this Pels team continues to show the maturity and focus that should make such concerns incorrect.

Which gives me PTSD flashbacks to the Portland game a few years back.

Portland was on the second of a back to back on the road, after winning a triple overtime game with key players logging 50 minutes, only to come into New Orleans and finish the first quarter with a 32-18 lead. Beating us by almost 30 points.

Gotta clean this up. This is a game that we should of won. You can't give up games like this and expect to make the playoffs in the west this year. Sloppy, sloppy play by everyone but AD.
