Mascot Wars: New Orleans vs. Golden State
You’ve read a lot about the matchup between the young pup Golden State Warriors and the younger pup New Orleans Pelicans and you’re going to read a lot more. While you’re soaking up the analytics, the advanced metrics, the head-to-head history of these squads, consider taking a dip in what many (read: just me) believe […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans at Golden State Warriors, Game 1
Not going to post a ton of new preview stuff here, because there is already tons of tremendous information on the site. If you want to know how the Pelicans can score against the Warriors #1 ranked defense, Chris Romaguera has a terrific piece here, and if you want to know how we can lock […]

The Night That Changed the Pelicans and Warriors Fates Forever
April 24th, 2012 is a date that should be remembered by basketball fans in both New Orleans and Golden State forever, but if you ask either fan base its significance, they will likely draw a blank. For both teams, it was the 65th game in a strike-shortened 66 game season that had essentially ended for […]

Pelicans return to the Post Season by ending Spurs Win Streak
Every team that makes the leap has a few moments you can look back on and remember clearly. Games or moments that tested their mettle and honed them rather than broke them. I can’t predict the future – I thought we were experiencing this back in 2007. This could go that way and be soured – […]

Game On: Spurs @ Pelicans
Most of the time when I break out one of these game previews, an opponent has a few glaring issues that the Pelicans could attack in particular – A team that can’t protect the boards that can be eaten by the Pelican’s glass dominance, or a team that relies on turnovers for cheap points can […]

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. It’s important the Pelicans make the playoffs in 2015. But it’s more important that New Orleans shows up early to see what happens in person. There’s two games tonight, […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 213: All the Marbles
One game. San Antonio. New Orleans. At home. For. All. The. Marbles. Unless the Pelicans win, in which case there are more marbles, and Golden State will come and try to take them from us. Jerks. We talk San Antonio, a little bit about the team and this really fun playoff race. Enjoy the Podcast! […]

The Win’s the Thing and One More to Go
In the end you knew it was going to shake out like this. There wasn’t going to be any other way. The Pelicans took care of business tonight against the Timberwolves–after a sluggish start–by the score of 100-88. And that’s all we need to say about the game because the Thunder did their job, beating the […]

Game On: Pelicans at Timberwolves
So here we are. Two games remain in the 2014-15 NBA regular season, with the Pelicans and Thunder tied for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Each team has one “damn well better win” game and one “win and you’re probably in” game remaining. New Orleans plays at Minnesota tonight, while […]

Pelicans Lose a Battle, but not the War!
Despite leading at the break, the Pelicans couldn’t hold on in the 2nd half and they fell to the Houston Rockets 121-114. The first half the Pelicans played about as well as they could have hoped, leading by 10 at one point. It seemed they had an answer for every Rocket run. The ball was […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Rockets
So it comes down to this. With just 3 games left the Pelicans remain neck and neck with the Oklahoma City Thunder as the season comes down to a photo finish for the two playoff-hopefuls; and right now, the Pels have their noses out in front. The next hurdle comes in the form of a […]

Pelicans Defeat Suns in Jrue Holiday’s Return
Jrue Holiday came back, and of course Anthony Davis had to get hurt almost immediately after #11 stepped on the court. Could it have possibly gone any other way for this snakebitten team? Of course not, but thankfully AD got cleared and returned in the 4th quarter, leading the Pelicans to a 90-75 victory. Despite […]

Game On: Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Pelicans
There is no way around it, with the playoffs in sight, the is a must win for the New Orleans Pelicans. There are two brutal games left on the Pelicans schedule with Houston and San Antonio coming up, so New Orleans has to take care of business against the teams they should beat to have […]

The Pelicans forgot to play the Grizzlies
Yeah. Next game is Friday.
-
Game On: Pelicans @ Grizzlies
It’s time to see if the Pelicans can keep their momentum. After edging out a tight one against the Warriors, they get to take on the Grizzlies tonight, an opponent who they have been very good against the past couple years. The one thing you should note, however, is though the Grizzlies are frequently being […]

Moleskin Moments: Pels Win a Huge Game Against the Warriors
This was a classic tale of two halves for the New Orleans Pelicans (42-35) as they beat the Golden State Warriors (63-15) 103-100. The Pelicans started the game off being very much like a team that doesn’t make the playoffs, a team the Pelicans have looked like before. The Pelicans struggled mightily at the end […]

Game On: Pelicans v. Warriors
When our own Michael McNamara said that “If Pelicans (and Their MVP) Want Playoffs, They Are Going to Have to Earn It,” this is one of the games circled. After being 3.5 games out of the playoffs just a short while ago, the New Orleans Pelicans (41-35) went on a four game winning streak (while […]
