  • Pelicans Sweep Kings, Now Know They Aren’t THAT Bad

    Well the Pelicans put together a really good performance tonight. Ball movement, great debuts, whacky lineups, and, well, not a lot of defense, led to a pretty entertaining night overall. Davis had 27-14-2-2, just a typical night for him these days. Anderson found his groove, as I mentioned in the pre-game a trip back home […]

  • GameOn: Pelicans Travel To Sacramento with Season Series in Hand

    The Pelicans have won all 3 matchups with the Kings so far this season but sit 2 games behind them in the league standings. What a season it has been, with just 18 games left a top 5 draft pick is within grasp. One win in their last 9 has put the Pels just 3.5 […]

  • Shorter-Handed Pelicans Defeat Short-Handed Kings

    A good number of the New Orleans Pelicans defeated nearly the entire Sacramento Kings, 114-105, in a game that was not as close as this score or the Kings’ runs through the game may indicate. The Pelicans are 17-28 after the win, good for 12th in the West, though in a virtual tie with 11th […]

  • Game On: Kings @ Pelicans

    Gear up for a cold Thursday night game as the New Orleans Pelicans take on the Sacramento Kings. Personally, I think this is going to be a weird one. Just 15 days ago the Pelicans defeated the Kings, in Sacramento 109-97, and this game looks like it will resemble very little from their first matchup. […]

  • New Orleans Pelicans Play a Decent Game, Win

    The New Orleans Pelicans (12-26) are in a virtual tie for 12th in the Western Conference now after defeating the Sacramento Kings (15-23) 109-97 and are now 5 games out of the eighth seed in the West. Their postseason hopes are bleaker than a casual look at those indicates, but these are the bare facts. […]

  • Kings @ Pels in Rupp Arena Match Up of Kentucky Big Men

    The New Orleans Pelicans host the Sacramento Kings in Rupp Arena tonight (10/17) at 7 ET in a preseason match up of former Wildcat big men. Demarcus Cousins (drafted 2010) and Anthony Davis (drafted 2012) are two statistically dominant big men who always make a good show. The Pelicans have been plagued by injuries again so […]

  • New Orleans Pelicans Snatch Kings’ Crown, Thunder’s Playoff Control

    The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Sacramento Kings 101-95 to improve to 41-34. The Pelicans took an early lead and never relinquished it, but The Kings surged several times, making this game a bit of a white-knuckled affair. There were several places where the wheels could have come off, such as when Davis sat to […]

    The New Orleans Pelicans take on the Sacramento Kings on the West Coast tonight at 9:00 CT (UTC -5). The Pelicans sit at 40-34 with 7 games following this game.

  • 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. […]

  • New Orleans Pelicans @ Sacramento Kings: Open Thread

    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 […]

  • Kings make it reign from all over the court in 114-97 demolition of Pelicans

    In a game that was never really close, the Kings straight up crushed the Pelicans tonight. There really isn’t much else to say. Even missing both Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday, New Orleans should have been able to, at the very least, keep the game close against one of the bottom-feeders in the Western Conference. […]

  • Game On: Kings @ Pelicans

    Tonight, the 14-25 Kings come to town to take on the 16-24 Pelicans. Though New Orleans owns the better record, Sacramento has been the better team recently, going 5-5 over its past 10 compared to 2-8 for NOLA. The addition of Rudy Gay in mid-December has actually improved his new team, as Gay has been […]

  • Sacramento Runs Away from the Hornets 121-110

    From the opening tip you could tell that Sacramento was going to make the Hornets play their style of basketball, and it was then that you knew the Hornets had no chance in this game. The Hornets came into this game ranked 30th in pace, primarily because they don’t have the athletes to get out […]

  • Game On: Hornets @ Kings

    I have wrote about it, tweeted about it, and talked about it numerous times on the podcast – tonight’s game is huge when it comes to lottery implications. But as much as some of us think about the May 21st Lottery, that is the furthest thing from the minds of Hornets players. They are trying […]

  • 5th, 6th, or 7th – What the Numbers Say About Where We Will Draft

    We will know in 9 days how many lottery balls we will have for the May 21st Draft Lottery. Some teams have seperated themselves, and now the Hornets find themselves in a tier with Detroit and Sacramento fighting for the 5th, 6th, and 7th spots in the draft lottery. Detroit has 26 wins, while New […]

  • Kings’ Inability to be Good at Basketball Results in 110-95 Hornets Victory

    The Hornets played far from their best game tonight, but against a team as disorganized as the Kings, they were still good enough to cruise to an easy win thanks to a dominant fourth quarter. After this game’s first three quarters, the Hornets were clinging to a six point lead, but the team was clearly […]

  • Game On: Kings at Hornets

    New Orleans continues their homestand with a 5 PM Sunday evening tip-off against the Sacramento Kings. After beating the Kings 114-105 on Martin Luther King Day in the New Orleans Arena, the Hornets will face the Kings for the second time this season. While the end result was nice, the victory left a sour taste […]

  • Hornets Beat the Kings in a Tale of Two Halves

    The title really sums it up. In the first half the Hornets ran out to a 64-39 lead. It was a combination of incredibly good play on both ends of the court for the Hornets along with just putrid shooting from the Kings. Defensively the Hornets did a great job forcing 8 turnovers and contesting […]
