The Pelicans posted a poor offensive rating in their first game Anno Boogie, but I came away from the game encouraged with the amount of open looks the Pelicans were getting. Inserting attention-drawing Boogie into the lineup manifested in a lot of post doubles –> Boogie kicks to shooters –> open shots, mayhem. The fact that the Pelicans suddenly forgot how to dribble and pass to teammates whose backs weren’t turned is of no consequence to me. The squad that took the floor last night was confused because there was a radical shift in the way they created offense and no one knew how to handle it — and they still generated a lot of open shots.
