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 […]

Learning the Hard Way: Late Game Defense
“The thing that I liked about it was our guys felt bad about the execution down the stretch, and about the way we won. And I had to bring them back a little bit. This time of the year, playing playoff teams, it’s going to be a fight. Any way you can get the win, you take […]

Pelicans pull away in the Third Quarter to Beat Bucks
Well, that was a bit too close for me. Thankfully, the Pelicans did end up winning 102 to 98 after struggling most of the first half. The Bucks were able to stick around most of the game due in large part to Anthony Davis getting into foul trouble early. Brian Roberts also struggled early in the […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans at Milwaukee Bucks
The Pelicans have lost two straight games, but a game against the Milwaukee Bucks right before the All Star break might be just what the doctor ordered. The Bucks are the worst. I could be more specific and say what they are the worst at, but I’m pretty sure that phrase nails it. They are […]

Eric Gordon Trade Watch: Negotiating a Deal with Milwaukee
Today ESPN posted an insider article saying Milwaukee would be a good destination for Eric Gordon. I don’t know if Mr. Gordon would agree, and seeing that he has trade veto power this year that kind of matters, but let’s assume for this piece that he is willing to leave us for Milwaukee. I emailed […]

Stellar Second Half for Hornets leads to 102-81 Rout of Bucks
This game was entirely a tale of two halves. It really felt like the Hornets got outplayed in the first half, yet they took a three point lead into halftime purely thanks to the Bucks’ strange inability to make two-point shots. Milwaukee only shot 36.4% (12-33) from inside the 3-point line compared to 51.3% (20-39) […]

As a result, this game gives us a good reason to look at the […]

The Hornets beat the Bucks. Six and Oh, baby!
The vaunted Bucks defense showed up tonight and gave the Hornets fits. Unfortunately for the Bucks, the Hornets defense was also present and the game turned slugfest through the last half of it. Very few easy baskets. Rare open shots. In the end, the Hornets prevailed, pounding out an 87-81 win.(Box Score) Early on, the […]
