Not stunned, we've seen this before. Not shocked. Just heartbroken. The New Orleans Pelicans had every reason to pull this game out and they did not.
If I have one criticism consistent through Monty's five seasons here in New Orleans, it is the "prevent offense" he goes to with a big lead. Up 20 points against the Golden State Warriors going into the fourth quarter the New Orleans Pelicans tried to bleed the clock out for nearly six minutes. The offense got started late, moved very little, and forced consistently poor shots after humming for over three and a half quarters.
