After falling to 0-6 on the season, some facets of the New Orleans Pelicans season are beginning to come into shape. I wrote about the troubling defense in the paint in yesterday’s Phoenix Suns Game Preview, and noted that while the Pelicans are in the top half of the league in terms of points allowed per 100 possessions, they cede points in the paint very easily, and rebound poorly. Call that the Paint Problem.
If that’s the alliterative title for the down-low worries of the Pels, what do we call the offensive struggles? Overflowing with AD?
