NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Golden State Warriors

Previous: . New Orleans Pelicans. 25. team. 69. Someone has finally answered my calls to help Anthony Davis in New Orleans. While I still think Davis should head out of the Bayou on the first steamboat he can get a hold of, the return of Jrue Holiday has transformed this group into an actual NBA team. Holiday might not be in peak condition yet, but he is at least a threat to be watched when he’s on the floor. That adds one more threat aside from Davis for teams to worry about. Davis has been as good as one could reasonably expect, if not better, through these 14 games and if Holiday can round himself back into playing shape quickly then things could get turned around quickly with the Pelicans. Now if only a certain lottery pick could find his shot (I’m looking at you Buddy “Under 25 percent from 3” Hield) than this team might even look appealing to someone of Anthony Davis’ stature. Alvin Gentry’s seat is starting to cool off some, but an extended losing streak could be the end of things for him in relation to his time with New Orleans.. (4-10)
