Pelicans vs. Blazers preview: Can the return of Jrue Holiday get the team back on track?

Jrue Holiday is back! Both Holiday and head coach Alvin Gentry addressed the media Thursday afternoon after practice. It does not appear that Gentry will heed our advice; he mentioned bringing Holiday off the bench with a minute cap near 30 minutes for an undetermined (but likely short) period of time. First up for Holiday? A match-up with the Portland Trail Blazers and star point guard Damian Lillard.

Gentry’s plan on easing Jrue Holiday into NBA speed has a couple drawbacks. Chief among them, that the team will now have to make two substantial adjustments.
