The New Orleans Pelicans put on a rather uninspiring performance on Sunday in their loss to the Chicago Bulls. DeMarcus Cousins said they lacked a certain seriousness in his post game comments. Despite all that I took quite a bit of positives from the game. It isn't all that surprising that a team all but eliminated (the next Portland win or New Orleans loss serves as the final nail in the coffin) from the playoffs. This is natural in the NBA and not something I would be quick to lay at Alvin Gentry's feet.
