Weird game last time out, horrible first quarter, really good 2nd and 3rd, horrible 4th. Was like switches getting flipped. Criticism for many players in that one.
Tonight's a new night and the Pelicans look to return to the win column against the Hornets. They Hornets are 8-29, have gone 2-18 over their last 20 games, and are miserable. They're bottom 3 in ORtg and Drtg, resulting in being the league's worst Net Rating. They are 4-16 on the road so far this season. They're bottom 6 in FG%, 3pt%, and barely league average at the FT line. They turn it over a lot, they don't generate stocks, and they're bottom 3 in assists.
Hornets suck. They really are awful. No excuse for a loss tonight: let's see the team do what we know they can, and pick up a win.
Let's go.
