As they continue to look for their first win of the 2015-2016 season, the New Orleans Pelicans surely would have like to see someone besides the Atlanta Hawks strolling into New Orleans. Atlanta, who finished atop the Eastern Conference last season with 60 wins is already off to a hot start at 5-1 and they have done it without really finding their grove offensively yet, as they sit just 14th in the league in offensive efficiency per ESPN.
The Pelicans enter 0-4, though their most recent game against the Orlando Magic was an encouraging sign. In that contest New Orleans once again found themselves down double-digits, trailing by as much as 18, but they battled back and cut the Orlando lead down to six in the fourth quarter before falling short.
