  • Pelicans lose Davis, and then a sloppy, sloppy game

    The last meaningful shot the Pelicans took was a fitting epitaph for the game.  With the Pelicans down three, Gordon received the ball in the corner with space to shoot.   He pump-faked, realized he still had room, leaned back, and vomited a three pointer that missed the rim by five feet.  It wasn’t blocked […]

  • Game On: Pacers @ Pelicans

    The Pacers are one of those teams that don’t get any respect.  If you look at their line-up, only Paul George strikes you as an above average player.  (and yes, he’s really good)  Even George has his warts, as he’s not a natural offensive force – due to his middle of the road ball-handling.  There isn’t […]

  • Pacers Destroy Pelicans, Unnamed Writer Collapses In Tears

    In all fairness, I knew it was going to be bad. The Pelicans were virtually playing 2 or 3 vs. 5 on offense in Utah and Indiana’s defense is much better than Utah’s. Davis and Ryno were out. But the makeshift lineup failed to execute on either end of the floor and the result was […]

  • Pelicans crack as Pacers ratchet up pressure

    The Pelicans came out strong with their guards attacking the paint, getting fouled and finding shooters.  Within a few minutes, they had put Hibbert on the bench with foul trouble, made Mahinmi look out of his depth at the rim, and were rolling to a nice 16 point lead. Then the Pacers got Hibbert back […]

  • Season On: Pacers @ Pelicans (Ryan Anderson Out)

    The Pelicans start their official on-court existence tonight, and I couldn’t be more amped up about it.  For the first time since Paul left town, I’m tuning in free of a heavy feeling resignation and a dread of the inevitable.  This team is different.  It has players that have both skill and athleticism in the […]
