Let’s not focus on that. Let’s focus on the fact that the Pelicans are 1-6 and not 0-7.
Observations
- Fast Start – The Pels got out to a 12 point lead before the Mavericks even made a bucket.
- Smith and Gee – Pels fans, myself included, have been giving these guys a pretty hard time for a while. They weren’t perfect tonight, but they were both good. Their weaknesses are still there, but I thought tonight the Pels strategy played more to their strengths. Gee was moving around more, and Ish was running pick and pops or rolls with Davis.
