Red Out, Pelicans In
The biggest games in Pelicans franchise history are (in very specific order): Pierre’s post beak surgery game, the first ever Pelicans game, tonight, then tonight again.

The New Orleans Pelicans vs. Mardi Gras
The Pelicans missed a lot of shots last night, both on the court and off. The game recap tells you what happened on the court. Here’s what happened off.

The Greatest Pelicans Commercial of All Time
My feet and hands are as sore as they’ve ever been as I spent the majority of Tuesday giving a standing ovation to the Pelicans staff, Pelicans players, and whoever gave this project the thumbs up.
