Halo

Now that it’s officially over, let’s be honest—the New Orleans Pelicans had a phenomenal season.

Anthony Davis took the leap from a promising All-Star to an unstoppable monster and led his team to the playoffs. The post-Chris Paul rebuild is over, and the AD era has officially begun.

The only thing Pelicans fans should be hurting over is Game 3. New Orleans had its foot on the Golden State Warriors’ throat, but Stephen Curry and Co. pulled a reversal and put the Pels in a shattering ankle-lock, Kurt Angle style.

Deadspin’s Tom Ley dove deep into that pool of agony. But like the early playoff heartbreaks that helped make LeBron James, The Brow won't forget this one.

There’s also a strong chance that the Warriors will go on to beat up a few more teams en route to the NBA Finals. So there’s no reason for the ‘Cans to hang their heads over a sweep.

This season wasn’t good—it was great. And now that the postseason wounds are nearly healed up, it’s time to reflect on just how awesome it was.
