In the N.O. Episode 38: The Pelicans Trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers
Shamit and Mason synced up during what they thought would be a calm weekend to react to the big Saturday afternoon news. The New Orleans Pelicans have traded Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, three first-round picks (including No. 4 of the 2019 draft), and one pick swap.

Pelicans Finally Win Against Lakers
The New Orleans Pelicans (30-49) finally defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (16-63) in the third and final attempt this season. The 110-102 win was more complete than an 8-point differential may typically indicate. The Pelicans closed the gap on the Lakers at the end of the first to just 3, but barreled over the California […]

Nostalgia Before the Night: New Orleans Last Home Win
It didn’t matter that it was merely a first round game. That the team had squandered their home court advantage in Game 3. That they wouldn’t win another game the rest of the series. That there was no owner, and other cities and prospective buyers were licking their lips. On this night, it didn’t matter. […]

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 Snap 8 Game Skid with 132-125 Road Victory over Lakers
First things first – this victory was by no means a pretty one. The Pelicans were in complete control halfway through the third quarter, up by 19 and getting to the rim at will. However, the defense slipped from that point forward and the Lakers made this game much closer than it should have been. […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Lakers
The 23-37 New Orleans Pelicans will try to snap their 8 game losing streak tonight against the 21-39 Los Angeles Lakers. The Pels still have not won a game since All-Star Weekend, but with both them and the Lakers playing for the second consecutive night, they may be poised to break the streak. Los Angeles […]

Kobe, Lakers Too Much For Hornets in the 4th Quarter
There’s going to be outcry over the officiating in the Hornets 104-96 loss to the Lakers. I’m not going to talk specifically on that tonight as, frankly, it doesn’t interest me much but I do want to say this: Officiating is, at times, bad in every sport at every level. If calls aren’t going your […]

Game On: Hornets @ Lakers
From here on out every game is a must win for the Lakers; depending on your opinion of tanking, every game might be a must lose for the Hornets. Normally, the pro-tanking fan set that aside against the Lakers but the fans on that side of the debate (which I bet the majority of you […]

Hornets Blow 25 Point Lead in Loss to the Lakers. Everyone is Sad.
Monty Williams That’s the narrative after the Hornets blew a 19 point lead at home over the Lakers. Monty Williams On twitter, in the comments of the Game On, in text messages to me. It’s all about Monty Williams–in particular how it’s his fault for the loss. Except that it’s not only Monty’s fault. Yes […]

Game On: Lakers @ Hornets
As we hit the stretch run of the season the narrative looks the same as last year: To tank, or not to tank, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous ping pong balls, or to take arms against a sea of playoff teams, and by opposing end […]

Scouting the NBA: Week Fourteen — Lakers Struggling, Nuggets Dangerous
The Hornets have been surging and aren’t getting any respect. But who really cares anyway? It’s unlikely they make the playoffs but if we can be a thorn in the side of some teams looking to make them then I say have at it! Over the next week every team New Orleans plays will be […]

Same Old Story: Lakers Pull Away From Hornets in the Third Quarter
We’ve all seen this before: the Hornets keep it close in the first half, but as soon as the whistle blows to start the 3rd period, the game is over. Tonight against the Lakers was no different. The Hornets actually led 48-47 at the break but gave up a 13-0 run to start the 3rd. […]

Game On: Lakers @ Hornets
I have no idea how the rest of the Hornets247 crew let me preview and recap this game given that I’m originally from Los Angeles and still have lots of Laker love in my heart. But don’t worry, I have tons of Hornets (Pelicans?) love as well! And in an effort to stay neutral, I’ll […]
