Pelicans Finally Win Against Lakers
The New Orleans Pelicans (30-49) finally defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (16-63) in the third and final attempt this season. The 110-102 win was more complete than an 8-point differential may typically indicate. The Pelicans closed the gap on the Lakers at the end of the first to just 3, but barreled over the California […]

The Pels Have Not Gone Gently
What’s left of the New Orleans Pelicans (26-46) lost to the Toronto Raptors (49-23) predictably. As empirical probability is inexorably overcome by mathematical certainty, the half-team from New Orleans can do little to resist. Playing literal D-League players and none of their high power, high pay, high offense guys, it’s a testament to something that […]

Not Enough Pelicans to Defeat the Pacers
The New Orleans Pels (26-45) fell to the Indiana Pacers (38-33) in Indianapolis tonight in a 92-84 loss that was a tick closer than it might appear. It’s possible the Pelicans could have won, but, alas, they did not have enough healthy letters. The Pelicans were without anyone who can really lead a team to […]

Pelicans Can’t Quite Hold Against Bucks
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-41) continue their near free-fall after dropping the third game of five on this road trip, this time to the injured-but-plucky Milwaukee Bucks (28-38). Though the Pelicans lost the game 103-92, the game was both closer and even more out of reach than the score indicates. The Pelicans spent most of […]

New Orleans Pelicans Continue Road Trip Against Milwaukee Bucks

Pelicans Fall to Grizzlies in Overtime Sort Of
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) played and ultimately lost a fun one against the Memphis Grizzlies (39-26). Both teams were without key players, and the game was sloppy. The Pelicans lost an early lead, overcame a decent deficit, could not avoid overtime, then just fell victim to a combination of luck, defense, and some Grizzlies […]

Pelicans Play Well in Loss to Spurs
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-37) fell, as expected, to the San Antonio Spurs (52-9). As noted in the pre-game, I’m dispensing with any playoff blather, and even considered not mentioning the record or the 94-86 final score, but I figured the context is valuable. I’ve reflected on the game, and overall I’m happy with the […]
