In the NO Podcast Ep 248: Let down
Mason Ginsberg joins me by phone to talk about yet another bizarre week to Pelicans basketball, complete with wins against OKC, a loss to the Timberwolves, and a craptastic mess in Houston. Also, we talk about injuries again, with Bryce DeJean-Jones going down immediately after being signed. Sigh. Oh, and the baby face in the […]

Rockets Shoot 3 of 34 from Deep, Still Beat the Pelicans Anyway
New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry summed it up best with his post game quotes: “We come out after every game and say ‘well we’re in the playoff picture.’ No, we’re not. We’re not. What we are is a team that when we have an opportunity to do something, we didn’t get it done. So […]

Can the Pelicans put a Free Agent next to Davis?
It’s nothing new to hear that this off-season will be crazy. Teams will have something like 500 million dollars to spend across the league, and anyone who watches the NBA can tell you that in any given year, only a few teams have the patience to keep the powder dry if they can’t find a […]

Pelicans sans Davis can’t hold on
Davis injured his foot in shoot around (designated a sprained big toe during the game) and with that the Pelicans were back to having only one of their projected started five again. One. The Pels then went ahead and did everything they could to get a win in that game – taking advantage of really […]

Eric Gordon as a Pelican for Another Year: Is That Something You Might be Interested in?
Flash forward to July 5th, 2016 and the free agent market is starting to thin out. Harrison Barnes has been maxed out, but the Warriors vow to match. Nic Batum, Chandler Parsons, and Demar Derozen have all gotten maxes too and some 8th and 9th men with “upside” have gotten contracts that the Twitterverse mock […]

Does Jrue Holiday Have A Chance to Win 6th Man of the Year?
It’s nearly impossible to find a Pelicans fan who isn’t frustrated by the fact that Jrue Holiday is coming off the bench, but if you listen to Alvin Gentry, it doesn’t sound like it is changing anytime soon. Perhaps a few silver linings will come out of this, including a postseason award or two, as […]

Pelicans Upset the Thunder . . . Again
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-34) entered their game with the Oklahoma City Thunder (41-17) with just 10 active players following the report that newly signed Bryce Dejean-Jones has been sidelined with a fractured wrist. However, the Pelicans managed to stay competitive with the very good team lurking in the shadow of great teams. The Pelicans […]

Jrue Holiday: Minutes, Coming off the Bench, and Running with AD
Earlier today, Justin Verrier, the new ESPN staff writer for the New Orleans Pelicans, released an article all about Jrue Holiday, his chemistry with Anthony Davis, and his recent performance. Not only did that dominate Hoops timelines, but Tom Haberstroh also featured the Pelicans and the magical pairing of Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday for his […]

The New Orleans Pelicans vs. The Oklahoma City Thunder
The OKC Thunder are traveling south tonight to take on our Pelicans. The game will be on TNT so no Joel Meyers or David Wesley, which is sad, but I think AD will want to put up 60 in front of a national audience. That’ll be fun, right? Hey, we can always dream. Anyway, the […]

Pelicans’ 3rd Quarter Breakdown Against The Wizards Is a Familiar Story
All ball movement stopped and defensive break downs ran wild. Davis couldn’t get the ball and no one knew what to do when he couldn’t. And when the offense wasn’t flowing like it should, Alvin Gentry finally decided made a change: he just benched the guards. After a very lackluster first half that ended with […]

A Look at the 2016 NBA Draft Options Through Pelican Eyes
The 2016 draft looks like it will be average. Not great, not terrible. There are some high ceiling freshman wings, some quality bigs, and a few intriguing international prospects. The point guard class isn’t fantastic, but there are a few quality starters to be had, and in a league where shooting has become a premium, […]

Pelicans Transformed by Wizards into Flightless Birds in 2nd Half of 109-89 Loss
One game after Anthony Davis led New Orleans to victory in Detroit with a career high (and NBA season high) 59 points, Davis and the Pelicans crash landed in DC in a brutal loss to the Wizards. Despite a lackluster first half, New Orleans only trailed 54-51 at halftime thanks to similar struggles by Washington. In the 3rd quarter, however, […]

What is Left to Watch For?
(Note: Graham McQueen was a big help on this and contributed a lot of valuable thoughts.) The All Star break has come and gone. The trade deadline passed with a whimper. 55 regular season games have happened, and the Pelicans are 22-33. The playoffs are a long shot and quickly approaching impossible. Considering this offseason some […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Wizards
Fresh off of the best performance of Anthony Davis’ young career, the Pelicans head to Washington DC to take on the Wizards. New Orleans got the best of Washington in the two team’s prior meeting this season, winning 107-105 at the Smoothie King Center. Of course, it also bears mentioning that the Pelicans rolled out a […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 247: 59 and Trade Deadline wrap-up
I’m joined by Nick Lewellen to talk about Anthony Davis’ 59 point monster and my frustration that it wasn’t more. We also talk about the Trade Deadline – the deals that were and weren’t made, Jrue Holiday’s strong play, Anthony Davis and the All NBA team, the standings, and whether stockpiling tons of draft picks […]

AD’s 59 Shows There is No Such Thing as a “Pointless” Game
We live in an all or nothing culture nowadays. Tune in to the latest Bill Simmons podcast on the trade deadline, and you will hear him say something to the effect of, “What’s the point? They’re not winning a title this year…” more than a half dozen times. And he’s not alone. That same rhetoric […]

Revisiting the Point: Untouchable
Well it wasn’t the most exciting trade deadline and a lot of Pelicans fans are disappointed about it. It seems the franchise stood pat, but in reality the Pelicans took a step forward down the road. At the very least we learned that this is the team New Orleans is going to finish the season […]
