It's the preseason, so I don't take much stock in any of this. The main thing is we looked very good in the first half.
Problem is what happened in the 3rd quarter is what we've come to known from our Pelicans far too often.

It's basketball. Sometimes a team just shoots lights out from 3 and there's not much you can do except keep fighting to contest them. If a team keeps making contested 3's all night and beats you, I can accept that. If a team keeps making 3's all night and you continue to give them open 3's all night, that's not acceptable.

Jake Madison mentioned how hardly anyone outside of the bigs got to the line. Jrue was 2 of 2, and then we got 2 FTs out of the Crawford and Cooke in garbage time. Nobody else except AD/DC/Diallo got to the line.

The Pels have the recipe to get into the penalty early every quarter but nobody to take advantage of it. I still think the trade to make is Bledsoe, and if by Januaryish you think the odds are good of Asik getting medically retired you can trade multiple 1sts and not require they take Asik back.
