There is no space as the Pelicans lose to Knicks
Usually when writers talk about “space” in basketball – they are simply referring to shooting. Put some shooters around the perimeter, and viola, teams have to guard them, there is room inside. That is pretty much garbage though. Competent NBA defenders know when to collapse and recover and are capable of defending 10-12 feet of […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Knicks
It’s a Noon Eastern game! In the past, that has meant losing, losing, losing! So . . . maybe this messed up team can kick the habit? It’s possible, right? It’s the Knicks! Maybe. At this point, I’m not going to bet on the team until one capable guard comes off the injury list. Ish […]

Observations: Knicks @ Pelicans
The Pelicans beat a bad team tonight, and normally I’d not have a ton of comments to make in that situation because you can’t take a win over a terrible defense that seriously. Tonight, however, I saw a bunch of interesting things during the game. Let’s get rolling. Gorgeous play with 2:20 to go in […]

Game On: Knicks @ Pelicans
The Jason Smiths come to town tonight to face the Pelicans, who will try to take the game and get back to .500 in time to face a slate of tough opponents. So far this season the Pelicans have been able to take care of games against bad teams without too much difficulty, but tonight […]

Farewell to a True Pelican, Jason Smith
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you’re doing so to the longest tenured player from your favorite team. Jason Smith has given us so much on and off the court that it’s going to be hard to see him in anything besides a New Orleans Pelicans jersey, but especially one that says Knicks. When Smith […]

Pelicans Defeat Hapless Knicks Behind Anderson, Evans
A single victory can’t possibly make up for losing Anthony Davis for an undetermined amount of time with a broken hand, but that’s life as a New Orleans Pelicans fan. Ryan Anderson was a terror on offense, Tyreke Evans played well throughout, and Al-Farouq Aminu did the little things required late to win an ugly […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Knicks
The New Orleans Pelicans take on the star studded New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. Led by LeBron James, Chris Paul… Haha, I kid. The Knicks are terrible. Considering how many times their fans told me that Chris Paul was heading their way, I can’t help but enjoy their so-far disastrous season I […]

Breaking News: Hornets Sell 45th Pick to Knicks
The speculation on who the Hornets would draft at number 45 has ended. Just after 10 pm central time Dell Demps came into the media room at the Hornets Headquarters and announced that the team would be selling the pick to the New York Knicks.

Why CP3 Will not be a Knick, and the Impact of the other NBA Trade Deadline Moves on the Hornets
The final days before the trade deadline have made for the most active deadline that I’ve seen since I started seriously following the NBA, which accounts for about a decade. Tons of moves were made, and although only one of them directly involved the Hornets, many of these deals will indirectly affect them. Highlighting this group of […]

Hornets Lost to the Knicks or Something, But it’s Mardi Gras, So Whatever
The Hornets lost big to the Knicks tonight, but it’s hard to get too hung up on it. Call me a homer. Call me a fool. Call me whatever you want, actually. Tonight was not a true representation of the two teams that faced off against each other. The Hornets are a better team than […]
