The New Orleans Pelicans have been their own worst enemy of late.
“At times you see an effort out there that can’t beat anybody in the league, can lose to anybody in the league. And then at times you see and the ball is moving, they’re getting stops, they’re running out, doing what they’re supposed to do, and sharing it. They can beat just about anybody in the league.” — David Wesley during Wednesday’s edition of the Black and Blue Report.
Couldn’t have worded it better myself, thank you, David.
From the 21 offensive rebounds collected by the Joel Embiid and Robert Covington-less Philadelphia 76ers through three quarters to the 58 points in the paint scored by Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets to the 32 points off turnovers given up to the Denver Nuggets, the Pelicans have fallen into a bad habit of putting up little to no resistance for prolonged stretches against recent opponents.
