As he evaluates his team’s performance during his first regular season as New Orleans head coach, Willie Green is breaking up the campaign into 10-game chunks, hoping to see the Pelicans make strides in each set. From a bottom-line standpoint, there’s no doubt that New Orleans has shown progress, going from 1-9 to 3-7 to 5-5 over the three separate 10-game segments so far.
“It’s been a ton of growth for our team,” Green said Thursday after practice. “Step-by-step, you can see that we’re getting better, but I like to show them (results) in groups of 10. In our last 10, they can see there’s major improvement, and we want to continue on that path.
