Pelicans Don’t Blow a Lead, Beat the Jazz
It’s okay to stop holding your breath, Pelicans fans. Your team beat the Utah Jazz tonight, and avenged an ugly loss a week ago, 105-98. The Pelicans led for most of the game and, despite what a bit of a Jazz run in the middle of the 3rd seemed to suggest, avoided a 4th quarter […]

Game On: Utah Jazz @ New Orleans Pelicans
Revenge, retribution and, hopefully, satisfaction are on the line tonight for the New Orleans Pelicans and their fans. …Against a 1-11 Utah Jazz team? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. After blowing a 16 point lead to give the Jazz their first win of the season, the Pelicans fan base collectively seemed to scream something along […]

Gerry V and Jason will be discussing issues all season. Old School vs Grad School, Round 1 . . . ding ding ding! Jason: There are many topics to pick from, but what do you feel is the biggest issue (or one of the biggest issues) keeping the team from performing well on the court? […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 158: Ryan Anderson is the Pelican Panacea?
Michael and I talk about two soul-crushing games, and one game that managed to make them feel less foul. Plus, is Ryan Anderson the cure to all woes – even those caused by Arch-Villian Monty Williams? Only time will tell. We then talk about which Tyreke we’ll see the rest of the season – Stiemsma’s […]

Small Sample Size Theater
Yes, it was the Sixers. And yes, it was just one game. But there isn’t another game until Wednesday, so this one game is all we have to go on for now! With that in mind, I welcome you all to Small Sample Size Theater! – The lineup often referred to as ‘The Closing Five’ […]

The Pelicans Demolish Philadelphia in Ryan Anderson’s Season Debut
Let’s just wait until Ryan Anderson comes back until we evaluate this team and its head coach. This was the plea of several fans and writers as the Pelicans blew huge leads and lost several winnable games over the first two weeks of the season. Well, Ryan Anderson is back, and now it is time […]

Game On: Philadelphia 76ers at New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans are back home, as they try to get back on track after their embarressing three game road trip that saw them drop games to the Suns, the Lakers, and the Utah Jazz. When the schedule was first released, tonight’s game looked to be yet another cupcake on a schedule that was full of […]

Pelicans can’t defend anyone, fall to Jazz
Despite Tyreke Evans finally finding his scoring touch going to the basket, the Pelicans still managed to lose the game to the winless Utah Jazz, giving up a 16-point lead built in the first half. I’ll have more to say about this later, but for now, I’m just going to touch on the three keys […]

Dreadful Basketball . . oh and Game On @ Utah
Tonight the Pelicans go into Utah – and I have no idea if they are going to win or lose. Utah hasn’t won a game yet – indeed are losing by 14 points a game – and I don’t have any confidence that the Pelicans are going to win. It’s not the back to back. […]

Lakers Wax Pelicans
What’s scarier than Pierre the Pelican? The Pelican team performance versus the Lakers tonight. Well. It’s hard to even start recapping a game in which we played so poorly. Simply put, there is so much to fix that I don’t even know where to start. Let me start by reiterating that this is not a […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans @ Los Angeles Lakers
The Pelicans head to Lakerland in hopes of climbing back to a .500 record. A win tonight could set off a solid win streak, as the Pelicans play the winless Utah Jazz twice and have the Philadelphia 76ers at home, but the first step is beating the Lakers, who just got obliterated by the Timberwolves […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 157: Revising expectations – and Please, Monty some threes!
Michael and I talk Pelicans Basketball as Michael revises his expectations for this season downward, I try to argue for more optimism and then I take my turn ranting about the lack of three point attempts. We do spend some time glorying in Anthony Davis’s amazing ability – and a lot of time being down […]

Pelicans Fall to Phoenix Again
For the 2nd time in 5 days, the New Orleans Pelicans were unable to handle the Phoenix Suns, losing 94 to 101. The Pelicans dropped to 3-4 with the loss. Turnovers were a storyline from the start, and many of them looked really, really bad. The motto of the night was “leave your feet when […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans @ Phoenix Suns
What a game. It would be impossible to address anything Pelicans-related right now without mentioning Anthony Davis’s absolute dominance against the Lakers the other night. Quite frankly, the results of Phoenix, LA, Utah, etc. matter little in the long-run performance of this franchise. This is Anthony Davis’s team and Anthony Davis’s time, and we are privileged to […]

Weakside Eyes: First Look
Here are a few basketball thoughts and observations after six games played by the Pelicans. I’m not going to get into numbers, just pure observations and thoughts I had while watching the team. It’s the way I would observe players at basketball camps. Jrue Holiday: Nice quicks . . . good handle but at times […]
