The Pelicans stumbled out of the gate with four consecutive losses, including an overtime thriller on opening night against defending NBA champion Toronto. New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry isn't letting cosmetics cloud his judgment of his team, either. "You look at the game and you look at the score and you think, 'Oh, it ended up being an 11-point game.' We were never in the game," Gentry said following the Pelicans' fourth loss, 134-123 to Golden State on Monday.
