Through the first month of this season the Pelicans have hovered right around .500.

The Thunder have returned to scary. Westbrook is back. Durant will probably be back tonight.

New Orleans Pelicans Lose Close Game to Washington Wizards
The New Orleans Pelicans fall to 7-8 in a surprising 80-83 showing in Washington. What was so surprising? Well, not the loss . . . I expected that. The manner in which they lost actually surprises me. Sure, the game featured the early scoreless runs. In fact the team spent most of the game down […]

It’s a big jump from last season’s ranking, and where the team has been under head coach Monty Williams—generally ranking somewhere in the middle of the league efficiency-wise. It’s a nice improvement to see, especially considering that the team’s […]
