During the Fox Sports pregame show, David Wesley talked about the New Orleans Pelicans needing to play with a sense urgency tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. While it was a complete statement of fact, it drew a chuckle out of me because the contest marked game number 39 on the schedule — we’re nearly at the halfway point of the season, the Pels are second to last in the Western Conference and there remains a problem with all of the players bringing the requisite effort each and every night.
If you stop and think about it for a second, that’s just so damn depressing.
