Slow defensive rotations, a lot of CJ McCollum, and the Pelicans find itself winless after the first two games to start the NBA season. Adding the first victory to the win column might have to wait awhile too with the Golden State Warriors on tap for this coming Saturday in New Orleans.
CJ McCollum did his best Stephen Curry impersonation early, scoring 28 points in the first half, 22 of which came in the first. Meanwhile Anthony Davis continued to struggle from the field, clinking mid-range jumpers off the rim, which led to fast break after fast break for the Blazers.
