  • Davis improved interest of basketball in New Orleans but he was never the savior

    When Chris Paul was on his way out of New Orleans, it was believed that interest in the NBA was on life support and that the incoming 2012 No. 1 overall pick that would become Anthony Davis was to be the city’s last chance to be relevant in basketball’s global arena. Fast forward to today […]

  • Anthony Davis, The Celtics, The Knicks, and Leverage

    It is February 1st, the NBA trade deadline is less than a week away, and the games are just beginning. The Pelicans are taking and making plenty of phone calls, which normally signals urgency, but in this case, there is no rush. For some, like the Lakers, February 7th is the finish line, but for […]

  • Pelicans fight hard but fall to Celtics

    The Pels showed a lot of gumption against the Celtics, and despite being down by as much as 16 at one point, had the game tied with just a minute and a half to go.  They even generated a couple decent looks to take the lead from that point but they didn’t fall and the Celtics physical […]

  • Game On: Pelicans at Celtics

    The Pelicans catch a break tonight as Evan Turner will miss the game with an eye abrasion.  Since Turner is, you know, probably the Celtics 7th best player, this game will be close.  Or the neo-Pelicans may just run into a team that ranks 10th in offense and 4th in defense, realize they are mostly d-league […]

  • Observations: Boston beats Pelicans

    I mentioned Sullinger and his butt in the pregame.  And it came back and haunted us all game long. You just have to give Boston credit.  When crunch time hit, Sullinger battled Davis out of ideal post position multiple times, the Pelicans shrugged and ran screens to get Gordon and Evans something towards the basket, […]

  • Game On: Pelicans @ Celtics

    The Pelicans kick off a 5 game road trip in Boston tonight, opening a slate of games against a fairly easy schedule.  As part of the trade that netted the Pelicans Quincy Pondexter, Boston sent out their leading scorer, Jeff Green, and replaced him with . . . butkus.  Or Tayshaun Prince.  Which may be […]

  • Hornets Lose a Whacky One to the Celtics

    The Hornets lost to the Celtics 89-85 in a high energy affair that saw the previously red-hot Chris Paul miss every shot. David West and Marco Belinelli combined for 55 of the Hornets 85 points, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a third quarter collapse and some interesting calls. Marco Belinelli took three of the […]
