re: Why it's not time to panic or jump off the bandwagon

The Pelicans season was considered lost midway through last year. They got better, way better after that. It's a long season.

If you look at each of these games in a vacuum, you wouldn't be surprised if they lost them.

Warriors on the road? Loss.
Second night of a back to back? Loss.
Third game in four days? Loss.
On the road without your superstar? Loss.

They need to right the ship over the next two weeks (losing to the Bulls and/or Suns with a full roster is bad), but it's a long-arse season. They'll straighten it out.

All a week like this does is emphasize our margin of error. Losses against shite teams will be far more catastrophic to our playoff chances than an October loss to the Jazz without AD.
