One thing is certain in this up and down season: The New Orleans Pelicans have the talent to play with and beat any team in the NBA.
They have one of the best scoring tandems in the league in Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram and have enough talent up and down their lineup to hang with anyone on any given night.
Talent is not the problem.
What is the problem is that the Pelicans are not a very smart team.
