Sans Zion’s possible injury, tonight’s results could not have gone any better. The Pels avoid Denver in the 1st round of the playoffs and get a play-in game at home against a team that they went 5-0 against this season. Win that, and they get an unproven OKC team in the 1st round of the playoffs. Sometimes, the stars just align, and it rarely happens to Nola sports teams. The ball is in our court. Of course if Zion is truly injured, it’s all moot.

But if Zion’s not injured maybe this was how it was suppose to be…

Stop looking past the kings. They are destroying the warriors who gave us fits all game long. If you think we have this game, you are setting yourself for disappointment.

Pels best case scenario shaking out.

Just beat the team you owned all fricking season at home and you get OKC instead of healthy wolves or nuggets

To be fair, the stars aligning would've been us not choking against San Antonio last week or the Kings not choking against the Suns. Either of those one-possession losses don't happen and we avoid the play-in altogether and get a Minnesota team in the first round that we match up pretty well against.

Instead, we're fighting for our lives (granted, against a team we own) for the last spot in the postseason. And while it's better for us to get OKC than Denver, OKC still probably beats us in 5 or 6, they matchup pretty good against us on top of having homecourt.
