Does it feel like deja vu?
Right out of the gates, the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be shorthanded due to injury, and with 10 games on the schedule in the first 17 days, a slower than expected start could be on the horizon.

While some believe Rajon Rondo missing time will be a good thing, we’re not in that camp.
