The Saints follow up their worst, most boring season in recent memory with a bad decision to keep Dennis Allen, and there's still a giant question mark for a quarterback. The Pelicans keep finding ways to win while more players face injuries - When will Herb Jones be back? Does it matter if they give us a date? Mel Gibson is and then isn't the captain of Endymion and everyone (including us) has something to say about it.

The Pelicans drop one to the best squad in the NBA but bounce back by demolishing the C or D-squad from Golden State while their star players sit.

Polk makes a couple of trips to the Blender to see a Zion-less Pelicans dismantle the Grizzlies and Bulls. Do we have any concerns about how good the Pels look without their young superstar!?
