OAKLAND–Anything is possible in the playoffs you can’t just assume this playoff series between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Golden State Warriors will or will not go seven games. If you look at the odds the likelihood of it going seven games is pretty low. Anything is possible, this is a series if you look at things reasonably at most this is a five game series.

The Pelicans do have Anthony Davis who is one of the best young players in the NBA today he’s going to be a top finisher in the MVP ratings. Davis had an amazing season so you just can’t discount Davis he’s one of those kind of players who could carry a team to a victory or two and make things a little bit tense for the Warriors.

The plus side for the Warriors is that Davis is a power forward that means he doesn’t bring the ball up court that means the Pelicans have to get the ball up to him and the Warriors have a great defense. If the best player on New Orleans doesn’t bring the ball up that means that the Warriors will key on him denying him the ball in the first place.

Davis can destroy you the rest of the supporting cast on New Orleans is only okay, their not a great supporting cast, Davis by himself can help carry the Pelicans to a victory or maybe two wins. I would be surprised if the Pelicans can get two wins off Golden State. Davis is really a great player and everybody should keep an eye on him in this series.

Davis is that good and he’s someone that your going to hear about in the next ten years but the Warriors are a historically good team. There aren’t a lot of teams that have won 67 games. There aren’t a lot of teams that have a plus ten point differential. The Warriors are good enough that they shouldn’t have to go past five games to win this series.
