The Pelicans have started the season a demoralizing 0-4 despite playing two very winnable games against the Denver Nuggets and the Milwaukee Bucks. In both games the Pelicans put themselves in position to win but in both cases they couldn’t “get over the hump” to pull it out. The Pelicans have paper thin margins for error, and every game it seems they just can’t get it right enough of the time. They’ll give themselves a chance and then waste it. Forcing turnovers but not capitalizing, getting stops but missing rebounds or giving it right back, ill-timed breakdowns, through 4 games I’ve seen plenty.
