The Warriors are amazing, and there is not much suspense about winning this series! ESPN**, the Warriors have a 93% chance of winning, while the Pelicans have a 7% chance of upsetting the Black Eight. In the regular season, the two teams met a total of four times, and the Warriors won 3-1 and had to have the upper hand.
But it should be pointed out that the Pelicans have recently shown amazing fighting power in order to compete for a ticket to the playoffs. In the last game of the regular season, the Spurs were played against the Spurs, and the team still overturned the opponent and successfully locked the top 8 when it was not favored at all. Compared with the dilemma of being full of injuries in the first half of the season, the Pelicans are currently strong, and injuries such as Holiday and Ryan Anderson have all returned.
Of course, even so, it won't be so easy for the Pelicans to win the Warriors in the series. After all, they're up against the best team in the league this season. This year, the Warriors have made great strides under new head coach Steve Kerr.
Throughout the season, the Warriors ranked second in the league in offensive efficiency per game and the league's most defensive efficiency per game. In addition, the Warriors' offensive rhythm also ranks first in the league. In such a high-speed transition between offense and defense, the Warriors have ensured extremely high efficiency, which shows the strength of the team.
Curry is undoubtedly the absolute core of the Warriors, and this season, he has averaged points per game and has always been at the top of the MVP rankings. At present, it seems that there is a high possibility that Moe God will finally win this award. And next to Curry, Thompson is his most reliable helper, and Thompson can score points this season and play the best season of his career.
In addition to the Splash Brothers, the Warriors still have a crouching tiger in the lineup, and Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, Iguodala and others can also come in handy in key moments. It can be said that through several seasons of polishing, the Warriors have successfully found a balance between star basketball and team basketball, and have become a well-deserved top team in the league.
Although not as impressive as the Warriors in terms of record, the Pelicans' progress this season has been equally impressive. And reaching the playoffs is definitely the best reward for them. This season, the Pelicans rank ninth in the league in offensive efficiency, but their defensive efficiency is at the bottom of the league.
Despite having the likes of Anthony Davis and Asik on the inside, it's clear that as a young team, they don't have a lot of physique. System. But the Pelicans are very similar to the Warriors in that the team doesn't rely on one star alone.
Although the thick eyebrows are the Pelicans' number one scoring weapon, behind him, Evans, Gordon, Holiday and Ryan Anderson also have very strong offensive firepower.
Comparing overall power and playoff experience, the Warriors are superior. But in the future game, the Warriors may encounter strong resistance from their opponents. Once the Pelicans continue this fighting spirit at the end of the regular season, the game will still be very variable.
Initially, the Warriors will eventually advance 4-2.

In the 2017-18 NBA playoffs, in the Western Conference playoffs, the sixth-ranked Pelicans swept the third-ranked Trail Blazers 4-0, which surprised many people. The Pelicans' Rondo, Davis, Holiday and others played very well in this series, and I believe that they will also bring a wonderful performance against the Warriors in the next round :)

I think that so many "upsets" this time are mainly due to their team itself, such as the Lakers' performance this time, Kaizi's injury problems and aging... Secondly, I think there is another reason for this ranking, the first few rounds of teams collided, and some of them happened to be the style of play, style of play and personnel alignment, for example, the Spurs changed the style of play this time just let the Grizzlies pick up the cheap, the Grizzlies' interior line is obviously stronger than the Spurs' interior line, and the outside line can't break through, and only relying on the outside line to shoot is doomed. If the rankings had changed, I don't think it would have been.
Of the 32 teams in the NBA, 16 were eliminated and the remaining 8 against 8.
A, after all, the Lakers lineup is quite luxurious. Bryant!!! Gasol !! >>>More
