This week in Pelicans talk
The shows spent the week on the Pelicans' season opener against Indiana, which turned into a fourth-quarter collapse. There's been talk about the team's defensive issues, especially with their pick-and-roll coverage getting exploited by Haliburton and Siakam down the stretch. The bigger conversation keeps coming back to whether New Orleans can stay healthy and compete, with some skepticism about the roster despite the talent on paper.
