Although there is little doubt the NBA would benefit from seeing Zion Williamson and the upstart Pelicans in the postseason, the results suggest next year is when we're likely to see them enter the playoff picture. New Orleans has trouble finishing close games, its defense is still a liability and its lone win in the bubble came against the free-falling Grizzlies. This is a tough spot against a Kings club that is winless in the bubble and should be angry following an effort in which it dominated most of the way against Dallas, only to collapse and lose in overtime.
