If there is an NBA game we would want to watch, that would be the one between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers. These two sides play extremely offensive-minded basketball, sometimes completely neglecting the defensive duties. But due to such an approach, we often see highlight-reel moments once one of these two teams appears on the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pelicans are outside the playoff zone at the moment, and they need to win this one badly. Portland is sixth in the West, but with the competition breathing down their neck. These circumstances will most definitely spice up Tuesday’s matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to be perfectly straight, if New Orleans doesn’t improve its performances, this will be one more year without the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n |
