NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis is off to the best start of his young career, but the New Orleans Pelicans superstar acknowledged mounting frustrations after a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks dropped his team to 0-4 overall and 0-3 at home this season.Definitely frustrating, Davis said after Tuesdays 117-113 defeat. We cant get a win. Its frustrating.Davis finished with 35 points and 15 rebounds in the loss, pushing his season averages to 37 points and 13 rebounds per game, both career highs.The 23-year-olds 148 total points are the most in NBA history through the first four games of the season by a player whose team lost all of those games, according to ESPN Stats and Information research.Im frustrated, but Ive got to find a solution, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. I cant be frustrated to the point of where I throw up my hands and not anythings going on. Its my job. Thats why they hired me here. Ive got to find a solution to our problems. Ive got to find a solution to why were turning the ball over. Ive got to find a solution as to why we cant go into the game with a defensive plan and stick to it. Its very frustrating, yeah. But there have got to be solutions.Despite high expectations heading into last season, an injury-riddled Pelicans team lost its first six games and 11 of its first 12 before ultimately finishing a disappointing 12th in the Western Conference at 30-52. Davis missed a career-high 21 games, including the final 14 of the campaign to undergo an ultrasonic debridement of his left knee.Im not worried about last year, Davis said. Im focused on this year, trying to get a win. But its frustrating. Whatever we need to do, we need to do it fast.Despite Davis strong play, the Pelicans entered Tuesdays game ranked second to last in the NBA in offensive efficiency and last in 3-point shooting. New Orleans shot a season-high 34.6 percent from the 3 line against the Bucks, but its 14th-ranked defense allowed 58 points in the paint and a backbreaking 3-pointer to Giannis Antetokounmpo to extend its deficit to five points with 1:34 left to play.We played hard, but we got to start playing a lot smarter, Gentry said. We just have too many defensive breakdowns. Were not talking, so were not switching where were supposed to [and were] leaving open 3-point shooters. Were not talking on back screens, so we end up giving up a layup. These are all things that are very correctable and things that we go over every day that we just got to get better at. Theres no excuse for not talking defensively.The Pelicans, who are without starters Jrue Holiday (personal), Tyreke Evans (right knee) and Quincy Pondexter (left knee) to start the season, are one of five NBA teams still without a win and one of two teams with four losses.As far as our team goes, our margin of error is slim, said Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier. We got one guy that can go out there and get a bucket, get 50 points. But other than that, us other guys just need to step up. Cavaliers Jerseys Outlet .

Authentic Cavaliers Jerseys .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. MILWAUKEE -- Despite the pampered lifestyle of a major league baseball player -- chartered planes, first-class hotels -- road trips can be a drain, especially when flying from one side of the country to another.But while all ballplayers are anxious to get back home after a long road trip, there are few MLB players who enjoy playing in their own ballpark more than Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis.Nieuwenhuis is batting just .212 on the season and depending on how you look at it, that number could be a lot better or astonishingly worse when one takes a look at Nieuwenhuis home/road splits.On the road, Nieuwenhuis is batting a paltry .143 (16-for-130) with a home run, seven doubles and 10 RBI. But back at Miller Park, Nieuwenhuis has been a machine, posting a .304 average (38-for-125) with nine doubles, nine home runs, a triple and 24 RBI.Its pretty impressive, the numbers at home, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Theyre mind-boggling, really, the differences. Its a hard one to explain, and Im not going to be able to explain it.Nieuwenhuis went 3-for-18 on Milwaukees recent road trip, appearing in five of six games against the Padres and Diamondbacks.Ive just tried to change my mentality a little bit, Nieuwenhuis said. Ive just been pressing a lot the last three or four weeks.Ive tried to take it one pitch at a time and see where that takes me.Nobody would appreciate an offensive outburst more than right-hander Zach Davies, who takes the mound Monday looking for his fourth consecutive start in fifth in his llast five decisions.ddddddddddddDavies hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last five outings, posting a 1.97 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks in 32 innings during that stretch.When he gets into a groove, he runs through a lineup pretty good, Counsell said.Hell be facing the Braves for the first time in his career.Atlantas scheduled starter, rookie right-hander Rob Whalen, will go for his first career victory. He made his major league debut Aug. 3, allowing four runs on four hits -- including a home run -- and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings of work, but didnt take a decision in Atlantas 8-4 victory over the Pirates.He allowed all four runs in the first inning, but settled in quickly after that.Obviously the game didnt start how either of us hoped it would, but the end result was exactly what we were looking for, said Braves catcher Anthony Recker. He did a great job getting through that first inning and then just bearing down and making pitches after that.I just told him we were still behind him and we were going to come back and win the game, just keep pitching your butt off and we got ya. And he did that.Whalen was having a strong year in Atlantas minor league system, going a combined 7-6 with a 2.40 ERA for Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett, where he made three starts and allowed just four runs in 18 2/3 innings of work while striking out 18.
