New Orleans Pelicans @ Los Angeles Clippers
This afternoon, the New Orleans Pelicans (11-24) on (I hate) the Los Angeles Clippers (24-13) at the Staples Center. This is the first of the teams 3-game California road trip; we have the Lakers Tuesday (watch party at Tracey’s) and the Kings Wednesday. The game is at 2:30 pm CT (UTC -6) and is on […]

New Orleans Pelicans Return to Losing Ways
The New Orleans Pelicans fell to 4-12, ending their only winning streak of the season at length 3 and shoring up their 14th seed position in the Western Conference, 4 games behind 8th and 5 other teams in between that also need to be passed. Moreover, Anthony Davis took a couple tumbles on the game, […]

The cap situations of the Western Conference playoff teams
The other day Michael McNamara analysed the Pelicans options for the mid-level exception for this years’ NBA Free Agency. However, one of the most important things to remember is that not only will the Pelicans be wanting the services of these players, so too will other teams. Today I’ll have a look at each of […]

Eric Gordon Leads Short-Handed Pelicans to Impressive 108-103 Win over Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers arrived in New Orleans riding a 6-game winning streak to go along with their 32-14 record. Heading into tonight’s game against the Pelicans, they had outscored their opponents by 7.5 points per 100 possessions this season, an average only surpassed by the 36-7 Warriors and 38-8 Hawks. Los Angeles would face a Pelicans team missing its […]

Game On: Clippers at Pelicans
Tonight, the Pelicans (24-22) continue their homestand against the Clippers (32-14), owners of the longest active winning streak in the Western Conference (6). According to Hollinger’s power rankings formula on ESPN.com (which takes into account factors such as strength of schedule and number of home and road games), the Clippers are the third best team in the NBA, […]

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 […]

Glory Days: Clippers handle Pelicans 108-95 because, well, they’re the better team (for now)
After two to losses in Denver and Golden State to start 4-game road trip, the Pelicans entered Los Angeles to play the Clippers on the second game of a back-to-back. Obviously not an ideal scenario, but the game did provide the return of Anthony Davis after missing eight games (fewer than expected) with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth […]

On the Trade Front: What is Eric Bledsoe Worth?
Without a doubt, the #1 question I get on Twitter, in emails, for the podcast, etc. is “What would the Clippers want for Eric Bledsoe?” That question came even more feverishly after Chris Paul’s comments about Eric Bledsoe most likely being traded this offseason. First of all, that is an impossible question for me to […]

Hornets Non-Historic Win Streak Ends
The Miami Heat’s winning streak isn’t the only one that ended tonight. The Hornets 3 game winning streak over playoff teams came to an end at the hands of Los Angeles Clippers. Those cheers you’re hearing come from those on the tanking train. More ping pong ball combinations! But that’s the future and tonight is […]

Game On: Clippers @ Hornets
The Hornets welcome their former favorite son to town tonight. These two teams have had a few interesting games between them the past two seasons, namely the Smith-Blake foul game and the three point contest which broke out earlier this season. Coming off a Nuggets-streak-busting win, where Brian Roberts played phenomenally (18 assists!) and the team shot 62% […]

Scouting the NBA: Week Four — A Knickerbocker, A Golden Nugget and a CP3
A big week ahead: the New Orleans Hornets face some very tough NBA opponents including the Knicks, Nuggets and Clippers.

Hornets fall to Clippers
Hornets are unable to hold on to an 11-point lead against the Clippers and fall in Los Angeles. I have to agree with McNamara. The Clippers are a team I’d love to like, but there’s too much unwarranted arrogance there.

Game On: Hornets at CP3
Three games left and all that’s left at stake are lottery balls and pride. Which will weigh more tonight?

Hornets beat the Clippers
In the first game back from the All-Star break the Hornets looked sharp, they ran their plays extremely well, staggering screens all over for everyone, and put together a nice, easy 98-87 win over the Clippers. (Box Score) Of course, part of the reason they looked so good was the fact the Clippers were missing […]

Hornets Dominate the Clippers
The Hornets beat the Clippers 101-82 to continue their best start in franchise history, and remain undefeated. After a whistle filled first five minutes of basketball, the Hornets had a nine point lead over the Clippers, and that was that. They would extend the lead to 20-5, behind a big first quarter by Emeka Okafor, […]

Game on: Clippers @ Hornets
The undefeated Hornets take on the Clippers today, in what could very well be the first blowout victory of the year. Returning to the Hive is Baron Davis, but he won’t be starting. Big Baron has been packing on the pounds lately, and has lost his starting role as a result. Blake Griffin, the former […]
