The New Orleans Pelicans Have FINALLY Found The Correct RECIPE For Success
Coming down the stretch of a very competitive NBA season we are witnessing the New Orleans Pelicans heat up at the right time as they are currently playing the best basketball of this NBA season out of their last 10 games they won eight they won three games in a row and
Since the allstar break they’ve been one of the best teams in all of the NBA they ranked number two in defensive rating as a team they ranked number two in net rating and they also ranked number nine in offensive rating so they have a top
10 defense and I mean a top 10 offense and a top two defense so the New Orleans Pelicans they’ve been outstanding on both sides of the ball and right now they rank fifth place in the Western Conference a half game against a Los Angeles Clippers team who has been
Looking lack of daaco as of late so if the New Orleans Pelicans could STI could get up into fourth place and steal that fourth seed from the Los Angeles Clippers they can now get home court advantage and the potential 4 to five matchup against the Los Angeles slippers
And we all know how important um homecourt Advantage can be in the seven game series especially if it comes down to a game 7 so the New Orleans Pelicans it seems like everything is finally going right for this team and I think we can all come together and conclude that
The New Orleans Pelicans have have found has finally found the right recipe for success and it hasn’t been getting a new head coach or dramatically changing the scheme on the offensive or the defensive side of the the ball or adding another star player to the rotation but the
Recipe for success for the New Orleans Pelicans has simply been keeping this team healthy and also coming with a more balanced attack on both sides of the basketball I think that’s what’s been so pivotal for the New Orleans Pelicans this season especially when we look at
The health and the uh especially when we look at the health of this team I don’t think we um since Zion Williamson has been drafted to the New Orleans Pelicans I believe this is his fourth year in the NBA we’ve never seen the Pelicans at full strength at this point in the
Season and I think this is so big time for Willie Green and his players we look at the injuries for the New Orleans Pelicans and they’ve been so pivotal over these last couple of Seasons especially since we’ve seen the pairing of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson
And also adding CJ McCullum to the mix because especially last year we got a taste of how dangerous this team could be and we didn’t really get to see um the three of them together it was always a combination of the two whether it was Zion and Brandon Ingram or Zion and CJ
Or um or CJ McCullum and Brandon Ingram whenever the New Orleans Pelicans could get two out of the three guys out on the court we saw something special and then so it just led us to think what if they could get all three guys out there and
That’s what we’ve seen more of this season we look at the two best players on this team Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson the two guys who seems to get hurt the most for the New Orleans Pelicans they have been a available for majority of this season Zion Williamson
Has played 57 out of 68 games and Brandon Ingram has played 62 out of 68 68 games and uh we got to give huge props to these guys because we know it’s been a struggle for them stay out on the court consistently and we see how big of
A difference it makes when these guys are on the court for the Pelicans versus when they’re not on the court and I think we also have to do a we have to give huge props to coach Willie Green because the way that he’s been able to
Play these two guys I’m not going to say that they’re playing on a minute restriction but we’re not seeing them play as many as many high minutes as some of the other stars in the Western Conference like Kevin Durant like Devin Booker these are two guys on the Phoenix
Suns that play 35 minutes a night LeBron James and Anthony Davis 35 Plus minutes a night joic 35 Plus minutes a night and we go to the New Orleans Pelicans and we look at Brandon Ingram and we look at Zion Williamson the two best players on the team Zion Williamson is only
Playing 30 minutes per game this season for the New Orleans Pelicans and Brandon Ingram is only playing 33 minutes per game so for Willie Green to have that much trust in the rest of the team in the depth of the New Orleans Pelicans I really think it’s been a huge part of
Them being so successful this season because they haven’t had to wear down their two players who have been struggling with injuries um over the last couple of years in a very competitive Western Conference so I think that’s very impressive by coach Willie Green and we look at the New
Orleans Pelicans roster I think coach Willie Green he has the perfect Personnel to carry out this balanced attack that we’ve been seeing from this team now I think this is so impressive on so many different levels we look at the New Orleans Pelicans right now they
Ranked eighth in the NBA on the entire season and offensive rating and the points per game leader on the team is Zion Williamson and he’s just averaging 22 points per game the New Orleans Pelicans they have five other players in double figure so that in itself I think
Is very impressive to have one of the best offenses in the NBA but it’s not just one guy dominating the scoring charts they don’t have a single player on this team averaging 25 plus points but the points this season have been spread out through the entire team and
We look at some of the role players that the New Orleans Pelicans have on this team that they can rely on to put the ball in the hoop you look at a guy like Jones valent chunes who On Any Given night can get you a double double um he
Can play with his back to the basket he can knock down little mid-range shots if he’s really feeling it he can knock down a couple of three-pointers he’s been in the NBA for a long time still can play and knows how to pit the ball in the rim
Um herb Jones I think he’s been so impressive this season for the New Orleans Pelicans u i remember um just reading about him in the draft and they just saying like the one thing that he needs to work on is knocking down his open shots and then he can worry about
Attacking off the dribble getting to The Rim finishing around the rim and he’s been doing all of that this season her Jones is averaging 11 points per game and also um he’s shooting over 40% from the three-point line so he’s just been amazing for the New Orleans Pelicans and
We know what he does on the defensive side of the ball he is a monster some people can already consider him to be the best Wing defender in all of the NBA and then you look at a guy like Trey Murphy who I’m a huge fan of he is so
Much for the New Orleans Pelicans what his skill set is and then also the impact that he has on the court that’s what I think is so important when it comes to a player like Trey Murphy his ability to spot up from the hash to
Knock down wide open threes it is so big time for CJ McCullum Brandon Ingram and Zion Williams and guys that can get downhill so the New Orleans Pelicans um outside of their big three they are loaded with so much talent and so Much Death and with role players that excel
At things role players that excel at rebounding Excel at um excel at playing defense so the New Orleans Pelicans I it’s been amazing to see what they’ve been doing since the allstar Break um Zion Williamson we have to give huge props to him um that it seems like the
Entire NBA world was um very harsh on him when the Pelicans got blown out by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA n Season tournament and Bri Brian wior just got on ESPN I believe that was yesterday or the day before yesterday saying that Zion Williams Say has lost
Um 25 lbs since then so that that’s what I’m just saying like the what Willie Green has been doing has been amazing Zion Williamson um I don’t know if it’s true but losing 25 lbs he definitely looks like he’s in great shape and then this whole entire season he’s just been
Paced he hasn’t been overused at all so I’m really excited to see this version of Zion Williamson in the playoffs because it’s not like the it’s not like the the Zion that we’ve seen over the last couple years I know the numbers don’t look the same but Zion um I think
He looks a lot better finishing around the room we’re seeing a lot more finess and then also the New Orleans Pelicans has really unlocked him as a passer and as a playmaker he’s averaging almost six assists on the season since the allstar break that’s outstanding for Zion
Williams and he’s also taking over games in the fourth quarter and and I remind you he’s averaging 22 points around 6 seven rebounds and around five assist per game on just 30 minutes so once the playoffs come around I expect that to tick up I also expect his production in
His usage rating to take up a little bit more and I’m so excited to see um Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans in the playoffs and then we also got to remember who Brandon Ingram is in the playoffs that wasn’t too long ago when he was just giving it to the Phoenix
Suns in the first round and we thought we were about to get a big upset um in round one so the New Orleans Pelicans they they have it all to be um a really good playoff team and potentially get to the Conference Finals they have a great young Innovative head coach and and
Willie Green they have a superstar player and Zion Williamson they have another player who can play at a superstar level in the playoffs in Brandon Ingram and then you have vets like CJ McCullum and jonis valent Tunis who have seen playoff battles and then you also have some really good young
Role players Trey Murphy who can get really hot can knock down the three-point shot from anywhere on the basketball court he can also put it on the floor get downhill finish around the rim you have herb Jones who is a defensive monster and can literally guard one through five he’s one of the
Toughest matchups in all of the NBA and the New Orleans Pelicans man they’re they’re going to be so fun to watch I’m telling you I’m so excited about the playoffs in both conferences I think the NBA is at a really competitive State um you just look at those standings in the
In the Western Conference they make me stress how close they are um every time I see them so the playoffs are going to be crazy this year every matchup is going to be a really good one and I think we’re going to see a bunch of possibilities but that’s what I wanted
To talk about with you guys today the New Orleans Pelicans keeping their players healthy and then also um this just just spreading out the offense throughout the entire thing throughout the entire team I think it’s been so big time for them this season but if you guys enjoyed please leave a like comment
