Don't look now but the Pelicans are up 2-0 in the playoffs!!

The Pels are a complete team with at least one bonafide megastar. If Curry is not 100% the Pelicans could shock the world. I am a conspiracy theory nutcase and I know the NBA wants Warriors, Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. Would the refs let the Pels beat the Warriors? They beat em last time they played. Gonna be awesome to watch. Go Pels!

In a 7 game series .. I'm not so sure but hey it's the playoffs. Anything is possible.

I'm watching Skip and Shannon on Undisputed. Their next topic is the Pels/Blazers series. Skip Bayless, the guy who said AD is the most overated player in the NBA is leaving early supposedly to catch some flight. I'm speechless. One of the most cowardly moves I've seen from a sports commentator.

Skip Bayless is either nuts, delusional or drunk.

Anthony Davis is big time & prime time. I mean he's arguably top 5 player in all of the NBA.

Tom Benson 's spirit in the team for the playoffs?

In the history of the NBA only 7 times has a road team gone up 2-0 in the playoffs in a 7 game series. Rondo was the starting PG on 2 of those teams. Watching Rondo decipher the Blazers signals and then move our guys around is awesome. Almost unfair. Mirotic hustles so hard on D. He might get beat sometimes cuz he's not AD but he battles every play. Holiday is the best guard defender in the NBA. AD is THE BEST defensive player in the NBA. Who else Gobert? Watch Antetikumbo dunk on Gobert easily over and over. Against AD, Antetikumbo dissappeared. Moore is a solid defender. Rondo is good on D. Maybe not a lockdown guy but always in the right place. The Pels play the fastest pace in the NBA, get tons of assists, score in the paint, shoot 3s well. The Pels are now a legit all around great team. The Pels weakness is their depth. Solomon Hill has given few good minutes since his return. He looks better each game. Clark is solid. Diallo plays good D, rebounds, finishes and runs the floor well, though he's struggled to score when he's given opportunities in clutch moments. Miller can really shoot from 3 and midrange. I think the Pels/Blazers series is over. Nurcic hurt. Davis hurt. Against the Warriors in a 7 game series can the Pels really win a long series playing Mirotic and AD 38+min per night? Lebron played those minutes every night for 15 years now. If Steph is 100% vs the Pels. Dang. If not, things could get interesting. I'm pumped.

Seriously? That's nuts!! I'm also curious top hear what Cowherd has to say after last week, saying Portland would sweep us. Where's he at now?
