When hotel accommodations were announced for the re-start at NBA Disney, the New Orleans Pelicans discovered they were put in the Yacht Club and the jokes starting flying.
While the Grand Destino and Grand Floridian will be reserved for the playoff-bound teams, the Yacht Club is for the fringe, the six teams trying to claw their way into the eighth seed.
I’m sure the Yacht Club is very nice, but fans on NBA Twitter ran with it and now the old Yacht Club is stuffed into every joke about mediocrity and bad teams.
Lose to a Grand Destino or Grand Floridian team, sure, but don’t lose to one of the Yacht Club teams.
