The Pelicans fell to the Grizzlies on opening night at Fed Ex Forum 103-92 after they fell off a cliff offensively early in the second quarter, then throughout the remainder of the contest.

Demarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis combined for 61 and 28, including 8 blocks from Boogie and 25 free throws for the pair, but the rest of the team could only muster 29 points, including but four from the richest man in New Orleans, Jrue Holiday.

Join us as we break down what went wrong?  Do the Pels really need a new point guard?  A new coach?  A new system?  Or is it simply a matter of execution as Boogie, Holiday and Gentry remarked. 

Plus, another technical for Demarcus Cousins....Woof...

The boys take a break from Preseason NBA action to discuss Monday Night Football's premiere of the latest and final trailer to Star Wars latest installment,"The Last Jedi."

The film is the eighth in the classic George Lucas Saga (not including part 3.5, "Rogue One), and promises a unique twist on the future of the Jedi as foretold by Mark Hamill's foreboding "It is time for the Jedi to end."
