Four out of the five teams in the Southwest Division made the playoffs this season. The New Orleans Pelicans were the team left out after a disastrous season where everything that could go wrong did.

With teams in their division such as the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets, the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks, hope has been low for Pelicans fans for quite some time. Yet if you look closely, the tide is beginning to change direction.
