New Orleans Pelicans
Record: 27-46
The New Orleans Pelicans should really fire their entire medical and training staff. OK, maybe they shouldn’t. But at the very least they should re-think what the heck is going on in that locker room. For the past three seasons, the team simply can’t stay healthy.
Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis have all missed significant time at some point during the last three years. And that’s forced the Pelicans to fall short of expectations this season, too.
Entering the year, there were some that were expecting the Pelicans to take the next step and potentially finish as a top 6 team in the Western Conference. Because of injury, which began in the summer, the Pelicans will finish with the 6th worst record in the NBA.
One step forward, two steps back.
