The great thing about covering general NBA observations on a weekly basis is that half of what I said last week is completely obsolete while the other half has not changed at all.
That puts me in a unique situation of either either being wrong or needing more data. I’m calling that unplanned obsolescence and that’s what the first few weeks are going to be about: what’s going on and how long will it last?
In the case of the New Orleans Pelicans take I ended last week with, well, Jordan Hawkins just went absolutely ballistic for 31 points, seven three-pointers, and seven rebounds in his seventh career game.
