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 […]

Shorter-Handed Pelicans Defeat Short-Handed Kings

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. […]

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.

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. […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
