Game On: Pelicans at Clippers
Once again, the Pelicans are limping into a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. I was out all day yesterday and have not heard any news regarding whether Anthony Davis, Omer Asik, or Tyreke Evans will play. Evans played only the first 3.5 minutes of the second half versus the Warriors and was visibly hampered […]

The Horror: Pelicans Blown Out in Oakland
The New Orleans Pelicans were blown out by the Golden State Warriors in Oakland last night. With a starting lineup’s worth of players missing (Jrue Holiday, Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis, and Omer Asik all out, and Tyreke Evans’ pulling a walking dead for 15 minutes), the Pelicans look disjointed, and saw the Warriors pull away […]

Game On: Pelicans Take On Warriors
The New Orleans Pelicans’ fell a game behind the Oklahoma City Thunder after their 74-72 loss against the Phoenix Suns. The score, which is eerily reminiscent of games played in the 90s or Memphis, is not the most encouraging as the Pelicans head to Oakland to play the best offense in the NBA. The Golden […]

A few members of the Pelicans lose to the Suns
I don’t know what to say. The Pelicans were missing Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson. They got 18 minutes from Asik before he got hurt himself – and, by the way, he was murdering the Suns on the glass and defensively when he could play. Tyreke Evans came up gimpy with a rolled ankle that kept him from ever […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Suns
In recent days, Phoenix has been counted out in the Western Conference playoff chase – with The Pelicans and OKC being the teams looked at as most likely to snag that last spot. That’s not, however, going to make this game any easier – as the Suns haven’t waved the white flag, and the Pelicans […]

Friends of BSS Roundtable: Playoffs, Playoffs, Playoffs

Because it’s been way too long since we’ve been in the postseason and […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 209: Playoff Dogfight
It may be stupid, but Michael and I can’t help talking about the fight for the playoffs. We talk the games against Denver and Brooklyn, but also talk streaking Utah, the Serge Ibaka injury, the three guards the Pels have, and even talk a little about potential playoff matchups. Getting ahead of ourselves? Yes! So […]

Moleskin Moments: Pels Lose Double Overtime Thriller to the Nuggets
The Pels didn’t attack Ty Lawson as much on defense as they did in their 99-92 victory over the Nuggets earlier this month, with Evans nor Gordon attacking him on the block tonight. The Pels gave up 64 points in the paint, despite Davis’ nine blocks. The team also had 19 turnovers that led to […]

Seasoning this Season
Well, well, wellwellwell. With 17 games to go, the New Orleans Pelicans sit in the 8th seed. It is admittedly by a margin that is garlic skin thin over the Oklahoma City Thunder who are a good team that, like the Pelicans, have been under-performing for various reason, someone of which are ongoing. We can […]

Game On: Pels Take On the Nets
Anthony Davis is a monster. And Pelicans continue to overcome injuries. They will have to do it one more time tonight, as Tyreke Evans is shelved for tonight’s game after twisting his ankle last night against the Milwaukee Bucks. The injury comes as the Pels wrap up a difficult stretch of playing seven games in […]

A 3-1 week and another injury to boot! That’s Pelicans Basketball! Like Davis, Michael and I shake off Tyreke’s injury and tear into all we saw these last few games. And then, once again, we get sucked into talking what it would take for this team to make the Playoffs. We try to come up […]

Davis Unstoppable as Evans goes down
I wanted so hard to enjoy Michael Carter-Williams regression to the mean in the fourth quarter of that game. I wanted to enjoy Davis ripping cord for 43 points in the flow of the game as well. But, of course, the Pelicans had yet another injury as Tyreke rolled his ankle in the third and did […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Bucks
Time for another road game against the Eastern Conference! If recent history is correct, that means you should now prepare for an evening of swearing, facepalms, and muttered imprecations. The one saving grace is the Bucks aren’t actually that bad this year and sport a winning record, which means . . . the Pelicans might win! If […]
