Ingram or Simmons? Pelicans Would Be Lucky to Have Such a Difficult Decision
May 17th is a day that every Pelicans fan should have circled on their calander. At halftime of one of the playoff games that the Pelicans won’t be participting in, the draft order will be set. If New Orleans is lucky enough to jump all the way up to #1, they will have a decision […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Warriors
How do I want to start this preview off? Bear with me as I try a few different things here… The reeling New Orleans Pelicans take on the Association-best Golden State Warriors tonight in California? Losers of 7 of their last 8 games, the Pelicans take on the 30-0 at home, Warriors tonight in Oracle […]

In the NO Episode 249: No Way to Escape Lottery Balls
Graham McQueen joins me to talk about the last two weeks of bad basketball, injuries that we are nearly numb to at this point, and whether we are full on Tank lovers now. We talk Jrue Holiday playing off the bench still, pick the most appalling Pelican Stat line, and try to figure out if […]

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 […]

New Orleans Pelicans Continue Road Trip Against Milwaukee Bucks
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (27-38) tonight in another clash of survivors. The Bucks last played Wednesday, but the Pelicans lost to Memphis last night in overtime, so if rest matters, it matters more tonight. The game is a 6:30 pm CT (UTC -6) and is on Fox Sports New Orleans […]

Do the Pelicans Have the Guts to Shut it Down in April?
The playoff dream is dead. The dreams of landing a top pick in May’s draft lottery are still alive. The Pelicans are currently in the midst of a brutal stretch that is causing the losses to pile up, but to borrow and modify a phrase from the returning Game of Thrones (Yes, I watch!), “April […]

Pelicans Fall to Grizzlies in Overtime Sort Of
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) played and ultimately lost a fun one against the Memphis Grizzlies (39-26). Both teams were without key players, and the game was sloppy. The Pelicans lost an early lead, overcame a decent deficit, could not avoid overtime, then just fell victim to a combination of luck, defense, and some Grizzlies […]

New Orleans Pelicans at Memphis Grizzles Sort Of
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-39) play in Memphis against the Grizzlies (38-36) tonight at 7 pm CT (UTC -6). The game is on Fox Sports New Orleans and the Pelicans Radio Network, 99.5 FM locally. You can set the records aside tonight, because neither team really reflects their record thanks to a butcher’s bill of […]

Pelicans Show A Lot in Loss to Hornets
After a 4 game losing streak that all but put the final nail in the coffin containing a lifeless corpse of an unidentifiable large bird inside, New Orleans came out and went down 17 points in consecutive games. But in both those games they showed some character, battling back to win the 1st one, and […]

Game On: Pelicans Go Back to their Roots against the Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets are on a 4-game winning streak that has pushed them up to 34-28 and the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference standings. Kemba Walker has recorded 3-straight 30+ point games as he continues to impress in his career season. Meanwhile the Pelicans just ended a 4-game losing steak with a win on […]

Pelican Scoop: How Intriguing is New Orleans to Free Agents?
In a season that most would describe as “lost”, it is impossible for fans to keep themselves from thinking about the offseason. Unlike the last few years, the Pelicans actually have their first round pick, and beyond that, they have two scond rounders as well. At best, though, a young player helps contribute to the win […]

Watch Party Monday 3/14 @ Tracey’s!
We’re in that stretch run of the season. Playoffs may be out of reach (not may, are), but there still is a lot left to play for. Fun games like the comeback against the Kings are still exciting. Which prospects will the Pelicans look at in the upcoming draft? Will they resign Eric Gordon? Ryan […]

The Pelicans win a fun one Against the Kings
It was a bad game if you like Pelicans losses. In fact, if you were hoping to enjoy some Pels related misery, tonight was a real disappointment, because despite being down 17 points in the 3rd quarter, the Pelicans overcame the Kings 115-112. After a couple years, we won’t really remember this game. There are no […]

The Sacramento Kings vs. The New Orleans Pelicans
The famous Dungeon Master Ryan Schwann once said, “I never feel good after a game against the Kings.” That’s an opinion, but it feels like an objective truth. If the Pelicans win, that’s great, but who cares about beating the Kings? And if you lose? Who LOSES to the kings? Well, bad news folks, the […]

Is Alvin Gentry Good For Anthony Davis?
“Primarily responsible for the Warriors offense — top-rated for most of the season — Gentry believes the Pelicans have underutilized Davis’ offensive skills. Not only did he express this during his initial interview with Loomis and Demps, but Gentry also came into that session equipped with charts and graphs to illustrate his point.” That was […]

Which Way Is Up?
Fans of the New Orleans Pelicans have no shortage of legitimate gripes this season. They are often lost, however, in the seemingly endless supply of illegitimate ones, poor support for legitimate gripes, and just incessant, poorly-directed ax-grinding for whatever justifiable personal reasons people have. Picking apart a play or two in each game, focusing on […]

Los Struggles Continue For the Pelicans on Spanish Night
The Jazz snapped a 5-game losing streak against the New Orleans Pelicans in a 106-94 win. This is the Pelicans 4th loss in a row. Unlike their prior three losses, the Pelicans never led in the fourth quarter. How the Pelicans fared on their keys to the game: Davis Rolling- Anthony Davis’ totals look gaudy, […]

Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz
Here are the moleskin moments of the game: 1Q 4:15 The Pelicans second and third best players just came into the game with 4:15 seconds left in the first quarter. 2:43 Davis has nine shots already. Averaging 12.5 shots per game over the last two. Not shooting gwell, but good to see him getting shots […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz
The New Orleans Pelicans take on the Utah Jazz at 6 p.m. tonight at the Smoothie King Center. Both teams have struggled of late, with the Pelicans having lost three straight games due to 4th quarter letdowns, and the Utah Jazz dropping out of the 8th seed due to losing five straight games (and going […]

Pelicans Play Well in Loss to Spurs
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-37) fell, as expected, to the San Antonio Spurs (52-9). As noted in the pre-game, I’m dispensing with any playoff blather, and even considered not mentioning the record or the 94-86 final score, but I figured the context is valuable. I’ve reflected on the game, and overall I’m happy with the […]
