The New Orleans Pelicans‘ offense has been feast-or-famine this season, as they occasionally look like the best offense in the NBA and other times look like one of the worst.
Most fans have pointed to 3-point shooting, as the Pelicans have dropped to 27th overall, hitting a woeful 34.3 percent as a team, down from 37 percent last season.
And since they are actually shooting far fewer of them, it makes that number even worse.
But the problems go deeper than just poor shooting.
