Pelicans are a likable team.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

Dirty play by CP3. Like a bad neighbor.

The playoffs wouldn't be complete without CP3 falling short somehow. Would love to see him lose in the 1st round as 1 seed.

New Orleans owe Raptors fans royalties on that "Jose... Jose Jose Jose" chants.

The suns are in serious trouble. This Pelicans team could legitimately beat them.

If the Suns don't pull this out, this is one hell of a mental hurdle to clear in game 5.

He makes dirty plays, sure, but it's generally not out of frustration. That foul was.

CP3 playoff failure bingo card missing this one. First round loss as #1 seed. He has done pretty much everything else.

Yeah, that shove on Giannis during his alley-oop last year's finals comes to mind.
