The Sacramento Kings vs. The New Orleans Pelicans
The famous Dungeon Master Ryan Schwann once said, “I never feel good after a game against the Kings.” That’s an opinion, but it feels like an objective truth. If the Pelicans win, that’s great, but who cares about beating the Kings? And if you lose? Who LOSES to the kings? Well, bad news folks, the […]

Los Struggles Continue For the Pelicans on Spanish Night

Pelicans Play Well in Loss to Spurs
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-37) fell, as expected, to the San Antonio Spurs (52-9). As noted in the pre-game, I’m dispensing with any playoff blather, and even considered not mentioning the record or the 94-86 final score, but I figured the context is valuable. I’ve reflected on the game, and overall I’m happy with the […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 248: Let down
Mason Ginsberg joins me by phone to talk about yet another bizarre week to Pelicans basketball, complete with wins against OKC, a loss to the Timberwolves, and a craptastic mess in Houston. Also, we talk about injuries again, with Bryce DeJean-Jones going down immediately after being signed. Sigh. Oh, and the baby face in the […]

Rockets Shoot 3 of 34 from Deep, Still Beat the Pelicans Anyway
New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry summed it up best with his post game quotes: “We come out after every game and say ‘well we’re in the playoff picture.’ No, we’re not. We’re not. What we are is a team that when we have an opportunity to do something, we didn’t get it done. So […]

The Rockets, currently in the 8th seed at 29-31, are five games ahead of the Pelicans in the standings. If the Pelicans want to make the playoffs over these last 24 games they […]

Pelicans sans Davis can’t hold on
Davis injured his foot in shoot around (designated a sprained big toe during the game) and with that the Pelicans were back to having only one of their projected started five again. One. The Pels then went ahead and did everything they could to get a win in that game – taking advantage of really […]

Does Jrue Holiday Have A Chance to Win 6th Man of the Year?
It’s nearly impossible to find a Pelicans fan who isn’t frustrated by the fact that Jrue Holiday is coming off the bench, but if you listen to Alvin Gentry, it doesn’t sound like it is changing anytime soon. Perhaps a few silver linings will come out of this, including a postseason award or two, as […]

Pelicans Upset the Thunder . . . Again
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-34) entered their game with the Oklahoma City Thunder (41-17) with just 10 active players following the report that newly signed Bryce Dejean-Jones has been sidelined with a fractured wrist. However, the Pelicans managed to stay competitive with the very good team lurking in the shadow of great teams. The Pelicans […]

The New Orleans Pelicans vs. The Oklahoma City Thunder
The OKC Thunder are traveling south tonight to take on our Pelicans. The game will be on TNT so no Joel Meyers or David Wesley, which is sad, but I think AD will want to put up 60 in front of a national audience. That’ll be fun, right? Hey, we can always dream. Anyway, the […]

A Look at the 2016 NBA Draft Options Through Pelican Eyes
The 2016 draft looks like it will be average. Not great, not terrible. There are some high ceiling freshman wings, some quality bigs, and a few intriguing international prospects. The point guard class isn’t fantastic, but there are a few quality starters to be had, and in a league where shooting has become a premium, […]

Pelicans Transformed by Wizards into Flightless Birds in 2nd Half of 109-89 Loss
One game after Anthony Davis led New Orleans to victory in Detroit with a career high (and NBA season high) 59 points, Davis and the Pelicans crash landed in DC in a brutal loss to the Wizards. Despite a lackluster first half, New Orleans only trailed 54-51 at halftime thanks to similar struggles by Washington. In the 3rd quarter, however, […]

AD’s 59 Shows There is No Such Thing as a “Pointless” Game
We live in an all or nothing culture nowadays. Tune in to the latest Bill Simmons podcast on the trade deadline, and you will hear him say something to the effect of, “What’s the point? They’re not winning a title this year…” more than a half dozen times. And he’s not alone. That same rhetoric […]

Anthony Davis Blew Out the Pistons
Basketball is a team sport, and the Pelicans won today. But, the top story from today’s game was Anthony Davis. His historic stat line of 59 points (24-34) and 20 rebounds has only been matched a handful of times. It is hard to overstate how impressive he was. He scored from every level and 6 […]
