5 takeaways from the New Orleans Pelicans loss to the Houston Rockets

-We may need to have a serious talk about Jrue Holiday sometime soon. He has not looked like himself this year, and for every play he makes that helps the Pelicans, it feels like there’s another one soon to follow that immediately undoes it. Tonight, Holiday had six turnovers in the first half and he only shot 6-21 overall, including 0-8 from 3. Many of the turnovers are due to trying to make too much happen, but he needs to keep his head and wait for things to develop more organically instead of trying to force them. Unfortunately, it’s not like his bad shooting performance is a total anomaly as he entered tonight’s game shooting 27 percent from beyond the arc and 38 percent overall, a far cry from his career averages.
