I really wish we played the long end-game and not traded for Boogie, let Jrue walk, drafted Dennis Smith Jr. Would be more excited about Brow, Hield & DSJ than this crap we're putting out there with '2 top 10 pleyers'.

Outside of another injury....this is the worst case scenario for a debut.
AD & Boogie - 61 pts
rest of Pelicans - 30 pts

It's going to take a few games. Just like the Saints. But thats only to be .500.
Without Rondo there will be no playoffs. Jrue Holiday should probably come off the bench. That seems his true role. They lost because he had a pathetic showing. Even a halfway decent showing and they might have won.
ADavis 33pts on 9-23FG
Cousins 28pts on 9-21FG
TheField 30pts on 12-35FG
The field consisted of 8 players this time. Each averaging 3.8pts.
Yes the refs were bad. But our guys pouted all game, they looked like entitled cry babies out there. They should've won that game but they let the refs take them out mentally because the game was physical. Disappointing. I hope they see that on film and never let it happen again.
Also, the ball stopped moving after the 1st. The ISO plays are cool here and there but we need to keep the ball moving to win games.
Jrue misses some easy shots early but then he got progressively worse. His defense was non existent tonight.
Overall the team was out of sync all game, they were more focused on reffing the game than playing the game.
I think we will still be good, but we need an athletic wing. I pray we land Gerald Green. We need an unconscious scorer. Our "high iq" role players overthink the game too much.
this dude on Pelicans Live going ham
ETA: the ex-Spur... I didn't get his name... not Coach Harris
Another opener and another L. Holiday is walking waste of 25 mln $. Complete garbage...
Just think that if Jrue would have just made 12 more points this game would have been decided at the last minute. 16 points is not too much to ask for from a starting point guard any given night.

I still question the coaching as well.
Again, you have Parsons on Davis. Get Davis the ball at the rim. They did this **** last year with Babbitt on Cousins and they ignored that.
This is a good overall assessment of the game. The refs were beyond terrible, but we had 17 turnovers in 3 qtrs, stopped with the game plan and tried to ISO ball our way after the 1st, and shot 38% from the field.
As terrible as the refs were we could have overcome them. Our players simply didn't execute.
they got away from the offense in the second the minute the 3 ball dried up. fed right into memphis physical play. emotions kick in and cousins and ad began one on one wanting fouls. Refs cant call every foul. coaching has to get control are its going to get ugly. cousins checked out early and ad was sick and his quad was hurting him. Gentry let this happen. Rondo would have gotten this straightened out.
once we leave the three ball out we were done. this is ad and cousins team. the other guys are not standing up to them. Coaching Coaching Coaching
