re: The Pelicans have started 5-4. Happy with the start, or disappointed?

It won't be 50 wins like most thought, but we will be ok. Should be 7-2 but its the NBA.

It’s fine for now. I just hate how we’ve played these last few games. So sluggish and not fun to watch.

Bad joke. There isn't a starter on the injury report for tonight.

Somewhere in between. The biggest source of disappointment is not the losses, it's the nature of those losses. We're 0-3 in OT and that lakers game should not have even gone to OT. Also the way we played against the shorthanded Warriors was disappointing even if we won. We have things to clean up but I think we'll get there

We are better on paper than what we are putting on the court.

I am not talking about the games missing our starters... the few we had all of them this team just wasn't fun like it was last year. Sure we had a run at the end of the last game but outside of those final minutes we looked bad.

I don't know why we don't get the offense going through Zion. Nobody in the NBA can guard him, his size, speed AND strength just can't be matched. He is either getting a shot at the rim or a kick out to an open player. Feeding Zion will help everyone. I don't know what else we can do. We know BI can shoot over anyone. We know CJ can razzle dazzle with his handle but we simply don't need that. Passing people open is what will get us winning. Team ball.

Definitely disappointed. The lack of energy and the team defense is atrocious.
