The Pelicans are currently in the third place in the Western Conference with just a game back from the first-placed Nuggets. New Orleans has been in the first place in the West for a rather part of this season so far.
Jose Alvarado is one of the emotional leaders of the team. The Puerto Rican point guard is usually the one who is the most animated when it comes to celebrating plays of the team. He says that the Pelicans are fine with being “that crazy team.”
Via Christian Clark of New Orleans Times-Picayune:
“I think we are OK being that crazy team,” Alvarado said at Wednesday’s shootaround. “I think we are OK with that. I think we are not playing too cool for school. … One time, a person told me, ‘It’s OK to be that crazy guy.’ I think we are OK with that.”
This season Alvarado is averaging 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3 assists in 20.5 minutes per game.
