As the New Orleans Pelicans’ march towards the playoffs continues, they find themselves in Oakland pitted against the formidable Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Waiting for them will be a motivated and irritated opponent. After losing to the Pacers in blowout fashion in their last game, coach Steve Kerr looked to send a message and the words that came out were “pathetic” and “embarrassing.“
You can imagine the Pelicans won’t face anything less than fully motivated Warriors team come tip-off. For the Pelicans it’s the same story: Win and possibly secure a better playoff seed; lose and a lot of hell possibly breaks loose.
