After I wrote about Phoenix’s consistency two weeks ago, they have gone 2-6 and dropped from first to fifth in the Western Conference.
Sorry, Suns fans.
The good news is that we now have an excuse to talk about the Pelicans again, who are now second in the West. Zion, in particular, is starting to regain his form from two years ago and might even be better now given his improvements on defense.
Don’t look now, but a legitimate MVP candidate might be arising from the Big Easy.
