The New Orleans Pelicans aren't about to get ahead of themselves. They seemingly know that while Saturday night's 135-98 victory against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers was an impressive performance, it was only one night and that there are at least 72 more games to go.
But for that one game on that one night, the Pelicans showed just the type of team they could be if they execute and play focused from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer. And most of all, the players showed their real potential. As Brian Roberts did.
In 20 minutes on the field, the 27 years old 6'1" point guard tallied 14 off the bench on 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range in the win, also dishing out 6 assists. Tonight, the Pelicans will meet Utah Jazz at the New Orleans Arena and we will see if they will have the constancy they need in order to establish themselves in the league's top standings.
