One can make the case that the nine New Orleans Pelicans who are now out for the season, are arguably their 9 best players. AD, Jrue, Ryno, Tyreke and EG are, without question, their top five. The Pels also have to be the only team to ever pick up 5 different players & have them play significant minutes on that very same day. Those two things have to be records of some sort. Tonight, the Spurs were trying to break the NBA record for most consecutive home wins to start a season. David vs Goliath.
