If zion has the career most people expect, than it will be one of those games they replay as one older great versus a new up and coming great. Zion definately looks good to this point. He is already dominating the court at times and he really hasn't even gotten his feet wet yet. Would love to see them make the playoffs just for the fun of it.

I don't know if you all know this site but gotta share it here.

They have these predictions and if you will be looking at it, there is a 60% chance of Pelicans to go to the Playoffs but less than 1% of winning the NBA Finals. I don't know anything about this but do you agree? PS. I do not own or advertise this site, I just saw it while browsing Zion and Lebron's game.

60% chance to make the playoffs...I think that is too high, and they should be less than 100-1 or 1%, I'm thinking 250-1 to win the chip. They need about 2 years to really start competing. They have a decent core now. Now they have to build on that and add people like miami added ray allen, those type of role players that can put you over the top to win it. Zion is good but way too young to lead them down a treacherous western part of the playoffs.

As long as there is a chance, I would not loss my faith on the Pelicans to reach in the playoffs this season.
Thy are young and they are hungry of course they can do this if they will just trust Zion even if he is only 19 years old.

We can see the real tight competition above.

I bet Pelicans would advance.

Right point made. 60% when they sit in 10th position with 3 quarters of the season done is a bad bet. 3 test men, port, and pelicans fighting for 8th, you give memphis and portland only 20% chance? People are betting on zion too early. If anything I would think the vet laced portland team will make it over those other 2 based purely on experience.

Pelicans is good but Blazers will fight for that spot too, 60% might be too much, that is correct because there are still 5 teams that are competing to enter in the playoffs, and that fact that there are still a lot of remaining games, this tells me that a team like Blazers might do better when Lillard returns.
