Assistant Coach Jamelle McMillan joined Preston and I to discuss the biggest topics concerning the completed portion of the schedule for the New Orleans Pelicans yet offer hope for improvement in certain areas for the rest of the season.
The conversations include the apparent flipflop in the effectiveness of the offense/defense from last season to this year, the concerning number of turnovers leading to easy points for opponents, the lack of offensive rebounding — despite the coaching staff continually making it one of the priorities, and the team’s inability to close games out after holding double-digit leads in second halves.
