re: Pelicans were a Top 5 team in the NBA at the end of last season

Just looked it up and we were ranked number 3 in points per game, tied with raptors, last year. We averaged 1 more point per game after Demarcus got hurt, Jan 26, until the end of the season and ranked number 2 during that time. It’s safe to say we will be playing a similar type of game and pace with the new additions/loss of Rondo. So yes, it’s is more likely than not we will rank in top five of scoring and it’s very unlikely Gentry changes his style of coaching to abandon the fast pace. You will see a similar product this year as you did the second half of last year. That will be exciting.

Also, the Pels do put on a pretty good show and I’ve never had a bad time I’ve gone to a game(excluding some end results) so pull the trigger and get tickets again. Enjoy and see you out there.
