Pelicans will comfortably make the playoffs

[dzav323]

Asik and Davis are an offense's worst nightmare. Couple that with Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke, and Anderson, you have yourself a top-5 seed out in the west. Monty Williams wins COTY.

Pels=Stacked, League=Fricked

If Jimmer is given an opportunity to play 20+ minutes a game, I could see them making the playoffs.

Jimmer is the best shooter in the world.

I actually see them squeezing in this year.. i dont know what your definition of comfortably is, but i could see them definitely snagging one of the last couple spots in the west. Breakout year for AD if he's healthy

[Hey Yo]

I hope they do. The Brow needs more exposure to those that hardly ever get to see him play.

There's no comfortably making the West unless you're the Spurs, Clips, or Thunder.

Is gonna be a dog fight for everyone else.

I like the Pelicans lineup and I think it's being overlooked by some because injuries that decimated their lineup last year, but there's no way they comfortably make the playoffs out West. It's just too deep and too strong a conference for any team bar the top 3 to do so easily. It'll be a dogfight that I hope the Pelicans can win (Davis is a monster and it'll be great to see him continue to improve on a bigger stage), but there's too much up in the air for it to be anything but tough

Good defenses fair well in the reg season and their rim protection will probably be the best in the league. Their perimeter defense should be OK, and they have a few weapons on offense too.

Their depth is the problem, but even with that I expect this team to sneak into the playoffs.

[T_L_P]

They'll be a top 8 offensive team and a top 15 defensive team.

Davis' defense isn't nearly good enough yet for them to be anything better. Will they even be healthy?

Who falls out?
