Following the New Orleans Pelicans Game 1 victory, many went on to praise the team for their play, specifically certain individuals like Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and Rajon Rondo, but the vast majority seemed rather confident that the Portland Trail Blazers will have a much better showing and take Game 2.
Is that the right take?
While no one should expect Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum to repeat their one-for-fifteen first half shooting performance, I feel too many people are overlooking the fact that New Orleans will make several adjustments of their own.
