OKC talked a big game, saying they were "built to give the Warriors trouble". I thought so too.

But turns out all you needed to do was surround one extremely talented and skilled big with a bunch of smart and gritty guards.

Playoff Rondo with 0 points, BUT 8 assists!

Surprised that Pelicans are up 6 while AD only has 5 points up until now.

Rondo's job is to make it easier for his teammates to score and provide leadership. Scoring from him is just a gravy.

Oh I know, I was just emphasizing how unique Playoff Rondo is. Might not score but does SO MANY other things.

Gives me some hope that the Warriors are indeed a bit vulnerable.

Pelicans playing fantastic and AD was red hot that quarter.

Great job by the Pels.

If we set aside accolades -- from a pure talent perspective -- is it egregious to wonder whether NOP has the best player in this series?

No

Davis is probably the best player in the entire league not named LeBron.
