David Grubb of Crescent City Sports joined Preston and I on this edition of our podcast to discuss the state of the current New Orleans Pelicans.
After winning three straight games by double figures, the Pelicans dropped several home contests to sub-.500 teams: the Mavericks and Knicks. Dallas shot the ball extremely well from the perimeter while New York won the battle inside the paint, yet New Orleans had legitimate chances to cap off two sizable comebacks.
They prevailed in neither game. Why?
We talk about Head Coach Alvin Gentry’s decision to bench Rajon Rondo against the Mavs, Anthony Davis going for a game-winning three to beat the Knicks and all the other things that led to the confounding defeats.
