Frustration mounts as the New Orleans Pelicans start their season 0-2, falling short in another close contest marked by missed opportunities and late-game execution woes. The offense falters with shaky possessions, including questionable shot selection from Dejounte Murray and limited involvement for key scorer Trey Murphy, who disappears in the second half despite an aggressive start. Questions swirl about the current starting lineup, with Jeremiah Fears under the microscope after a lackluster performance and Saddiq Bey making a strong case for more minutes. Yves Missi’s knee injury throws the Pelicans’ frontcourt rotation into turmoil with really just Derik Queen, and Karlo Matkovic, who impressed off the bench. Jordan Poole’s improved play sparks debate on lineup adjustments, while the team’s lack of three-point shooting—and the puzzling role of Bennedict Mathurin—continue to haunt them.
