The Pelicans win a fun one Against the Kings
It was a bad game if you like Pelicans losses. In fact, if you were hoping to enjoy some Pels related misery, tonight was a real disappointment, because despite being down 17 points in the 3rd quarter, the Pelicans overcame the Kings 115-112. After a couple years, we won’t really remember this game. There are no […]

The Sacramento Kings vs. The New Orleans Pelicans
The famous Dungeon Master Ryan Schwann once said, “I never feel good after a game against the Kings.” That’s an opinion, but it feels like an objective truth. If the Pelicans win, that’s great, but who cares about beating the Kings? And if you lose? Who LOSES to the kings? Well, bad news folks, the […]

Pelicans finish off Kings
Like all monarchies, the Kings were too entirely dependent on one guy tonight. So, despite that guy being absolutely amazing, the Pelicans shrugged off a slow start and punished the rest of the Kings, dropping 28 points in each of the final three quarters. The silly part about this is I thought Asik was playing Cousins […]

Game On: Kings @ Pelicans
The playoffs are a longshot now, but if the race is to even remain interesting, the Pelicans have to string some wins together over this soft part of their schedule. Which means taking down Sacramento, on a 4-game win streak of their own, tonight in New Orleans. Sacramento isn’t a total joke this year, as […]

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 […]

Game On: Kings @ Pelicans
First, if you haven’t listened to On the Fly, you should. Jake and Pelli talk with Aaron Bruski about the Kings and how the Pelicans matchup. However, if you aren’t going to do that, here’s my take! Injuries are starting to crop up, and tonight’s game is no exception. On the Kings side, Collison, Gay […]

The Perfect Pelicans Pick-and-Roll
I like to keep up, as best I can, with everything going on in the NBA. Like most of the writers at BSS, I’m not just a fan of the Pelicans. I’m a fan of the game. One thing I’ve been hearing recently from national commentators is that this Pelicans offense isn’t nearly as good […]

Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Sacramento Kings 11.18
Monday night’s heartbreaker is the kind of loss that, as a fan, you have nightmares about. The kind of game you overthink about the implications of despite the fact that it’s only November. So coming into Sacramento to play the Kings on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pelicans were hoping to bounce back. […]

The New Orleans Pelicans tip against the Sacramento Kings tonight at 9:00 CT, and the game is in Sacramento. The game is on 105.3 FM, Fox Sports New Orleans, and NBA TV. The Kings are 6-4 while the Pelicans are 5-4. The Pelicans are clearly coming off a horrendous loss in Portland following a total […]

Pelicans out-worked by Kings
I could waste time complaining about the same things we always complain about. It’s getting a bit old, however, and why dwell on why certain guys are getting minutes? Instead, let’s focus on the real reason the Pelicans lost that game: They rarely had more than one rebounder out there – and the Kings were […]

Game On: Kings @ Pelicans
The Pelicans wrap up the season series against the Kings at home tonight and catch the Kings on a bit of a downswing. The Kings are missing one of their trio of efficient scorers – Isaiah Thomas – and his absence is causing a surprising number of issues. Since Thomas has gone down, the team […]

Pelicans are Foul in loss
It’s not like they had a monopoly on the fouls. The Kings managed to contribute a huge number themselves to a choppy game with no visual flow and multiple calls made 25 feet from the hoop. It was, however, the Pelicans, who managed the though feat of gift wrapping 41 free throws to the […]
-
Game On: Pelicans @ Kings
I’ve got to say – the last two weeks of Pelicans basketball have been a bit of a lowpoint for me. A series of tough, close losses, Eric Gordon’s good stretches becoming fewer and farther between., Tyreke Evans play starting to look a little more apathetic, etc, etc. To top it off, there were some […]

Four Non-Gordon Deals That Make Sense for Hornets
All of the speculation as of late has been on whether or not the Hornets should move Eric Gordon. While most agree that they should, at least eventually, the disagreement seems to be on when the best time to make the trade would be. It appears that teams aren’t willing to match the Hornets asking […]
