NBA Preview: Southwest - The most competitive division

San Antonio Spurs v Houston Rockets

New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans

Bolstered by the back court acquisitions of All-Star Jrue Holiday and Rookie of the Year 2010 Tyreke Evans to assist No.1 overall pick of the 2012 Draft Anthony Davis in the offseason, the New Orleans Pelicans have been impressive in the pre-season with a 7-1 record losing only to the 2 time defending champions Miami Heat.

New Orleans fans would finally have something to cheer about after finishing a disappointing 14th last season. Their playoff appearance is totally on them. With three division champions in the West assured places in the Playoffs, they battle with the remaining two teams in their division ranked above them to make the Playoffs. As good as their pre-season performance and as talented as they are, having a better record than any of the three teams listed is a stiff task.
