8. New Orleans Pelicans (31-26)
If Anthony Davis actually leads the Pelicans to the playoffs with Cousins out for the season, I’m hopping on the Davis bandwagon.
I’m really happy for New Orleans and how far they’ve come this year, they remind me of the 2009-2010 Saints when no one expected them to go to the Super Bowl.
But instead of a Super Bowl win, they get a possible match-up against the Rockets or Warriors in the first round.
Definitely not as fun as that Saints Super Bowl win, but hey it’s New Orleans, you never know.
Side note:
C’mon, Jrue Holiday.
They paid you all that money for a reason, time to step up!
