Anthony Davis does not think his team cares enough. The Pelicans star is unhappy that the team is 10-21, even after a recent stretch of better play.
"We just don't play hard all the time," Davis said, via The New Orleans Times-Picayune . "That starts with our first unit coming out and setting the pace and setting the tone for the rest of the game and setting the tone for the guys that sub in especially after halftime. That's kind of been our thing this year. It starts with the first unit, and it starts with me."

Davis' remarks came after his team came out on the losing end of a 104-89 game Monday night against the Magic. Despite solid play from Davis, the team has taken a big step back after making the playoffs last season.
"It was frustration with the game," he said. "We're coming out the third quarter and we're not playing hard. They are doing everything they want and we're turning the ball over. We were down four then we were down 10. It was just frustration with us not playing hard, including myself."
