Pelicans Media Day
It's a bird....
It's a plane....
They all came in on a banana boat (down the gulf) to save the day!
When united against the evils of the Western Conference, these talents combine to save the french quarter and the crescent city. Freshly removed from a second round exit at the hands of the eventual champion, San Antonio Spurs, we find our embattled heroes regrouping for the next season ahead.
"After a long season, the best remedy for me is to head back into my sanctuary and put it into a song. All of it. The trials, tribulations, and glory. Some of those road trips and bonding, it never gets old and you build real relationships. Blake and I built something special here in New Orleans. I just couldn't envision my time here without him. That's why I'm glad he's back. I'm glad he put in that foundation of hard work and excellence. I can really feel it man."
Putting that pen down to paper, Damian could feel at ease again.
Not that it was easy, mind you. I was the only one on the roster when the season ended. We cleaned out our lockers, gave out hugs and said we'll meet again soon enough. Our top concern at the end was bringing back Blake and 'Bron. Every other team felt like they had a shot to sign them and being one of the top of the free agent class, who could blame them.
New Orleans was home though, man. We've been through the struggle. We've been here from the ground up. Just for my sanity alone, I knew that this team wouldn't win without them. Once the ink had dried on them contracts, we made a deal with the Cavs to bring in point guard extraordinaire, Chris Paul for a few sheckles and a future first. He'll really help open the offense up next year. Then we added some bodies in FA with already being over the cap. When you've got this much talent, no cost is ever not worth it when fighting evil.
That western conference is no joke. Especially when you have to face the Grizzly twins, Jimmy and Kawhi, from stealing picnic baskets and buckets. Weakbrook and now DeANDRE with those slick horse spurs. Even the Rockets brought in a dinosaur to put next to Horford. It's a battle every single night being in the South Best division. But we're up for the challenge.
