Takeaways

  • The Pelicans have now lost five games in a row.
  • Although the losing streak is disappointing, the Pels have lost to some very good teams.
  • Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson have yet to find their rhythm together without CJ on the court.
  • The season is only 10 games in so all the people talking about trades  need to chill.
  • Pels need someone to play PG while CJ is out. And they need it bad.
