The season is mercifully over, sparing us all a few more games of frustrating bliss. Don’t get me wrong I thought the New Orleans Pelicans would hold a firm spot in the play-in tournament once that was announced. But I didn’t see a way this team would make a whole lot of noise in the real playoffs.
It wasn’t all bad though, we witnessed Zion Williamson ascend to All-NBA level. His 25 game stretch of 20+ points was the kind of intoxicating run that calls out to new fans like sirens on the shore.
