We here at Golden State of Mind all know the greatness of the Warriors. They were one of the very best teams OF ALL TIME (Kanye voice) in 2014-15, going 67-15 and destroying everyone in the regular season. Stephen Curry and the Warriors are primed for a deep playoff run.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, just made it into the playoffs, needing to win on the last day of the season to clinch the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Led by the indescribable Anthony Davis, New Orleans went 8-3 over its past 11 games to make the playoffs.
