Observations: Pelicans Win At Home Against Cleveland
With 5:30 left in the 1st quarter Anthony Davis checked out of the game and did not return. It’s unclear what exactly caused the issue with the official word being that he suffered a chest contusion. There’s been a lot of commentary recently that without Anthony Davis the Pelicans have a hard time playing well. […]

Game On: Cavs @ Pelicans
After battling against the Mavericks a few nights ago the Pelicans return home to play the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron will play in the game despite suffering a knee injury that head-coach David Blatt said was “nothing major.” Kyrie Irving also is battling through injury and is likely to play tonight. New Orleans has been a […]

Preparing for the Weekend at the Smoothie King Center
We have a basketball team, that basketball team has Anthony Davis, and that man and that team are facing off, at home, against two of the hottest teams in the league this weekend. There’s bound to be a lot of riff-raff at the Blender. Let’s talk about it. Lebron James and Stephen Curry are very […]

On the Fly, Episode 5: Cavs
Jake and I are privileged to welcome John Krolik of Cavs: the blog to talk Cavs-Pelicans. John talks about what is evolving into a glorious Cleveland offense, I profess my man-crush on Dante Cunningham and slip in a giggle to end all giggles, and Jake manages to turn the conversation to […]

Quick Hits
I started binge-tweeting on the site account and then realized I could make a quick post to summarize some things we are seeing with the Pelicans and their players. 1. Anthony Davis is already a historically good offensive big man Davis’s season at 21, as it stands, […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Mavericks
The Pelicans, now on a 2-game winning streak, are at it again tonight for their 6th back-to-back of the season taking on a divisional rival in the Dallas Mavericks. This is the second meeting this season between the two, with the Mavericks outlasting the Pels 109-104 back in early November. The Pelicans have only beaten […]

Observations: Knicks @ Pelicans
The Pelicans beat a bad team tonight, and normally I’d not have a ton of comments to make in that situation because you can’t take a win over a terrible defense that seriously. Tonight, however, I saw a bunch of interesting things during the game. Let’s get rolling. Gorgeous play with 2:20 to go in […]

Game On: Knicks @ Pelicans
The Jason Smiths come to town tonight to face the Pelicans, who will try to take the game and get back to .500 in time to face a slate of tough opponents. So far this season the Pelicans have been able to take care of games against bad teams without too much difficulty, but tonight […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 197: Blame Monty?
Jason and I talk about the 2-2 week, the crushing defeats to the Clippers and Warriors, and what we think about Monty. Rotations? All Bench squads? Hero Ball? Discipline? I also go on a rant about Tyreke Evans, we admire Golden State, and predict the tough upcoming weeks schedule. We also hate the Clippers and […]

New Orleans Pelicans Net Easy Win over Los Angeles Lakers
It was a game the New Orleans Pelicans were supposed to win, and they did so. Though this was the second game in as many nights and on the road, the Pelicans started strong and were able to build, hold, and grow a lead against the outmatched Los Angeles Lakers. The Pelicans move to 9-10 […]

New Orleans Pelicans at Los Angeles Lakers: Open Thread
Tonight at Staples Center, the 8-10 New Orleans Pelicans take on the 5-15 Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers aren’t an empty 5-15 . . . that’s a representative record. They’d had 4 players start all 20 games (Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Hill) with Carlos Boozer missing just a single start. The returned-to-action […]

Pelicans @ Clippers: Observations
Though this game arguably provided a better match-up for the Pelicans than the game against the Warriors two nights ago, the Clippers broke things open in the 3rd quarter and never let up, cruising to a 120-100 victory for their 9th win in the past 10 games. This game was by no means one that New […]

New Orleans Pelicans at Los Angeles Clippers Open Thread
The Pelicans continue their trip through California with their first of two games on back-to-back nights in Los Angeles. Up first is a match-up against Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Clippers. First, the bad news: after a pretty vanilla 5-4 start, the Clips have won 8 of their past 9 games (including a 6-1 road trip […]

Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Golden State Warriors (12.4)
The New Orleans Pelicans were hoping to ride some momentum from their victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Tuesday. That didn’t happen, as the Pelicans lost 112-85. Even though the Pelicans played relatively well throughout the first quarter, they still gave up too many open jumpers throughout the opening period, and once they […]

New Orleans Pelicans Fill Final Roster Spot with PG Gal Mekel
(Photo courtesy of Dallas News Photograpgy) The Pelicans, likely in large part due their lack of guard depth after the injury to Eric Gordon, have signed 6’3″ point guard Gal Mekel to join Dante Cunningham in filling the two roster spots vacated by Darius Miller and Patric Young. Though terms of the contract were not announced by the team, […]

Pelicans @ Warriors: Observations
The Warriors came into the game with a 15-2 record, the NBA’s best defense, the 8th best offense, and what was undoubtedly a better team than the Pelicans. A lot of people were calling for various players’ heads or Monty’s head. I don’t buy it. The Warriors were so much better and I thought that […]
