A Late Preseason Look
Now we’ve seen all 6 preseason games, dealt with a couple injuries, and just 1 cut that was offset by a signing. There’s only so much to take from preseason, but they are definitely making an effort to get the passing going. Last season, the team was starved for passing. It was so starved for […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 266: A bad ankle and the pre-season so far
Who is Michael most excited to see play after seeing this pre-season? Is Anthony Davis soft or injury-prone? Is Tim Frazier the answer? Can Asik not suck?

Quick Hits: Random Thoughts
Follow @mikepellissier For someone who played 4 years of college basketball, it’s crazy to see the weight that some are giving to Buddy Hield’s Summer League and preseason performances. Buddy going 3-6 from deep in a preseason game means no more to me than him throwing up bricks in Summer League. I wrote about […]

Preparing For the Next NBA Trend
Larry Bird, easily considered the best shooter of his generation, hit 649 three-pointers in his career. Steph Curry hit 688 in his last two regular seasons. Larry Bird shot 37.6% from behind the arc over the course of his career. That would have placed him 54th last season, right below Portland Trailblazers 7-foot center Meyers […]

In Need of a Holiday
The Pelicans’ Media Day was peppered with optimistic talk of the day-to-day process of improving the right way and the impact of blue-collar workers (which Alvin Gentry had to clarify as a positive term). But not too deep beneath the surface talk of promising new additions lies a pretty clear picture of what to expect: […]

An Early Preseason Look
We’ve seen an offseason, a little camp, some drama, and sort of saw a game waaay up North. Davis is just as killer as we thought, and maybe more now that he’s going to be “fixed.” The shoulder thing was an issue for a while, and he carried other stuff. Nice to see him get […]

In the NO Ep. 264: Media Day info and the Pacific Division
Michael and I feast on the nuggets of information that have trickled out of Media day recently. We choke on the injury news, devour the Lance Stephenson chances, and then turn to the Pacific Division to recap their moves. Can’t think of any teams that matter in this division. Enjoy!

Pelicans Sign Quinn Cook to Training Camp Roster
ESPN staff writer and apparent dinosaur enthusiast, Justin Verrier, tweeted today that the Pelicans have signed former Duke standout Quinn Cook to their training camp roster. The 6-2 combo guard was a co-captain on the 2014-15 Duke National Championship team, which included future first round draft picks Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow. Before his […]

While We’re Waiting (#1 in a Series)
At the time of this post we’re still approximately five weeks away from the NBA season which to hoops heads can feel like five years. That’s a long time to wait for your favorite hobby to make its way back to your daily life and sometime after the draft and before training camp we all […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 262: Jrue, Lance, and the NW Division
Graham and I talk about Jrue Holiday, the partially guaranteed Lance Stephenson, who we would like to see make it through camp, and then we tear into the Northwest Division – or, like I like to call it, My division of hate. A surprising number of my most disliked teams reside in this division. Graham […]

We also play “who is the highest paid player on this team.” I think some of the answers will surprise you. Enjoy! Want it on […]

With Free Agency Looming Next Summer, Jrue Holiday Switches Agents
During a point in the off-season when there is very limited news, a bit of interesting information came out yesterday about starting Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday. According to Liz Mullen of Sports Business Daily, Jrue is switching agents and will now be represented by Jason Glushon, the same agent who represents his brother, Justin. Mullen also noted that Glushon […]

What has Pelicans.com been up to?
Look, we don’t pretend to be the only source for Pelicans content. By my count there’s hundreds of blogs, newspapers, podcasts, zines, radio shows, television shows, magazines, and message boards and it’s impossible to consume all of it. In fact, the only type of person who has a shot at attempting this is someone who aims to […]
