Takeaways
- The Pelicans -- it was a struggle tonight against Milwaukee.
- There was no answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brooke Lopez so that says a lot.
- New Orleans is passing the ball too much. I said what I said.
- Trey Murphy did not play but was listed as available.
- The Pelicans are missing a superstar player, and it's apparent for when they play other teams who have at least one superstar.
- Zion will have to add in a mid-range jumper to his arsenal if we wants to get to the next level.
- Lastly, the refs don't like blowing the whistle for New Orleans.
