We go again!
Having now won 3 of our last 5 games, and going 4-4 over our last 8, the Pelicans are starting to look a little bit more like a basketball team. Our defense has moved from league worst to ''just bad'' overall the last few games, ranking us now 27th in the NBA on the season, but that's a bit misleading: over the last ten games, with more health luck, we've actually been a top 20 defense - 17th, I believe, during that span. The offense is still struggling, but there's hope on the horizon for that with a better rotation for the last few games (even if still not perfect) and the belief that Zion will probably return before Christmas.
Last game we won out over the Utah Jazz in a very close game that featured some of our best defense of the year. Will we be able to repeat that? Who knows, but there's only one way to find out.
