On Monday evening, the New Orleans Pelicans will face the Chicago Bulls in Anthony Davis' hometown. Both franchises made coaching changes during the off-season and have promised to dial up the speed of their games.
Under the watchful eye of Alvin Gentry, the Pelicans have spent a good deal of the exhibition season racing up and down the floor. In fact, they currently rank second in the league in pace, trailing only the Boston Celtics.
Now for the bad news: the shots have not been falling.
