Game On: Pelicans @ Raptors
We’re finally coming to the point in the season where you can actually draw a few conclusions from a teams record and performance. Well, except for the Pelicans, since we haven’t actually seen half of their projected key players on the court together. The Raptors, on the other hand, have played a good cross section […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Dallas Mavericks
We’re still looking for our first win. I honestly thought it was coming last game against the Mavericks, but Dirk and Deron stashed a Delorean in the locker room. So, here we are. 0-7. Can we just get a win? Is that so much to ask? Mavericks Injury Report The Mavericks don’t have anybody on […]

Game On Pelicans @ Mavericks: Time to get real
Alright. We’ve been nice up to this point. We’ve looked at the upside, the possibilities, the fact this is a new system. We’ve bemoaned the injuries. And now I’m done with that. Give me a god damned win. Seriously. A win. I waited through a 3-year rebuild for what was supposed to be this season. The […]

Game On: Hawks @ Pelicans
A potential 0-5. Holy crap. Really bad teams go 0-5. This team isn’t Philly or LA, right? At least it’s the NBA, where 5 game win streaks are as common as 5 game losing streaks. You just need a soft patch of schedule and some injury luck. The Pelicans are going to try, once again, to […]

Pelicans-Warriors Game 4 Preview: Johnny Chan
“Don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched” -Someone, somewhere, probably talking about a Pelicans game I got lost in the moment on Thursday night. I was bedazzled. The Pelicans were up 20 points against the best team in the NBA. The defense looked great. The offense looked great. The New Orleans basketball scene was resurrecting before our […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans at Golden State Warriors, Game 2
Two days after an inspiring comeback fell just a little short in the form of a 106-99 loss, the Pelicans return to Oracle Arena for Game 2 of their best-of-seven series against the Warriors. After a rough first quarter on Saturday, New Orleans shook their playoff jitters and played Golden State close to even in 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 […]

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 […]
-
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 […]
-
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
-
Game On: Pelicans @ Mavericks
The red-hot Pelicans travel to Dallas to face a Mavericks team that will be missing two of its key players, Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler. The Pelicans are on their longest winning streak of the season (5 games) and they will be tested tonight despite the Mavericks missing key players. Dirk may have played in the All-Star game, […]
-
Game On: Nets @ Pelicans
The Pelicans unleashed a set of unlikely heroes against the Raptors last game to get the win. Hopefully that crew can bring it again tonight as Tyreke Evans is still fighting a cold and though the Nets aren’t a good team this year, they do have a team that could be vulnerable to the slow-motion […]

Pelicans Prove Basketball Without AD Can Still Be Fun, Beat Raptors 100-97
Similar to their game in Toronto about six weeks ago, New Orleans entered the 4th quarter facing a seven point deficit to one of the best teams in the NBA. In both instances, the team was under-manned, playing without Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis for both, also without Ryan Anderson tonight. Nonetheless, the Pelicans were able to […]
-
Game On: Raptors at Pelicans
Tonight, the shorthanded Pelicans (28-27) welcome a strong and largely healthy Raptors (38-17) team to the Smoothie King Center. Toronto will be looking to bounce back in New Orleans from a blowout loss in Houston on Saturday night, and these Raptors undoubtedly smell blood going up against a weakened Pelicans roster. In particular, All-Star PG Kyle Lowry made just […]

Game On: Pelicans vs. Pacers
The Pacers come to town tonight and face a depleted Pelicans roster that just dropped a game versus the Utah Jazz. Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson have both been officially ruled out with injuries and the Pelicans will have to scrape together as much offensive production as they can. Here are some keys to the […]
