Inconsistent is the best word to use describing these New Orleans Pelicans as they approach the midway point of the season. January has been a perfect example full of performances both promising and maddening. The last week was no exception. It began ominously as the Pelicans lost to the lowly Los Angeles Lakers; earning another tongue-lashing from Alvin Gentry in the post game. No problem, the team responded with a solid victory over the Sacramento Kings which they led for over 40 minutes and by at least double-figures for nearly the entire second half.
