The New Orleans Pelicans are off to one of their worst 12-game starts ever. What has led to the team’s early season struggles?
The expectations were huge. Scratch that. They were monumental. This was the year that Anthony Davis was officially going to stake his claim as the best player in the league and become the New Orleans Pelicans’ first-ever MVP. This was the year that the team was expected to build on last season’s 45-37 record and win 50 games for only the second time in franchise history. This was the year that the team was expected to rock the boat in the Western Conference playoffs after last year’s brief first round appearance against the Golden State Warriors.
