  • Observations on Thunder @ Pelicans

    After the Wizards game, Monty said over and over that the team had lacked ball movement and that needed to be fixed.  Tonight, the team came out moving the ball snappily and the first half (minus a few bench-heavy minutes) was a showpiece.  At one point in the second, The Pelicans ran a play which […]

  • Starting Slow and Finishing Weak

    Through the first month of this season the Pelicans have hovered right around .500. We’ve seen some good, some bad, and unfortunately, the surprisingly unsurprising happened and injury has again thrown a wrench in the team’s playoff plans. With Eric Gordon now out for the foreseeable future, the Pels’ problems become larger and fixing them […]

  • Game On: Thunder @ Pelicans

    The Thunder have returned to scary.  Westbrook is back.  Durant will probably be back tonight. It doesn’t matter what sort of rust their might be clinging to Durant’s game, put those two guys on a floor together and fireworks will happen.  So the question is:  Can the Pelicans stymie the Thunder as they begin their […]

  • New Orleans Pelicans Lose Close Game to Washington Wizards

    The New Orleans Pelicans fall to 7-8 in a surprising 80-83 showing in Washington. What was so surprising? Well, not the loss . . . I expected that.

  • Post-game observations on Pelicans @ Hawks

  • Game on: Pelicans @ Hawks

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all stuffed yourself with turkey and some pumpkin pie. Personally since I’m Australian we don’t do thanksgiving for the obvious reasons, but I’m always down for stuffing my face with food and spending time with the family. On to the game, the Pelicans travel to Atlanta to take on […]

  • Eric’s Suggestions for the Pelicans’ Offense

    ((Below is a post from a fan that I, personally, both agree with and am thankful for. Via comments here, I asked Eric to write something for the community to read rather than simply point to a lack in our coverage. He did that. Not many people would, and for that, I am grateful. Not […]

  • Observations on Kings v Pelicans

    Tonight you saw the true impact of Eric Gordon being out of the game.  Now, before you get all excited and say things like “Have you seen Gordon play this year?” or “We’ll really miss his 4 baskets and 1 rebound a game!” hear me out. What we saw tonight, particularly in the fourth, was […]

  • Pelicans get the Win, and AD gets a new Career High

    This game felt strange. It wasn’t something in particular. Just everything about it felt odd. First off, the Pelicans didn’t have their own guys broadcasting the game. If you got anything, you got the Utah broadcast. Then, it was a late west coast game on a Saturday night in November. There is never a lot of […]
