Pelicans Crumble Under the Heat
Jrue Holiday is a good player and a tough competitor, but burdened with the ultimate green light he struggled mightily. As a number one option a lot of his shots looked forced tonight, and it showed in the stat sheet and on the scoreboard: 7/23 shooting and a loss by 14. He got it going […]

Game On: Pelicans Host the Heat
While it seems the plug has been pulled on the season, there are still 13 games left to play and tonight the New Orleans Pelicans host the 40-29 Miami Heat. The previous matchup was one of the ugliest games ever witnessed on Christmas Day, and it somehow went to overtime. Forcing people to watch more […]

Pelicans Sweep Kings, Now Know They Aren’t THAT Bad
Well the Pelicans put together a really good performance tonight. Ball movement, great debuts, whacky lineups, and, well, not a lot of defense, led to a pretty entertaining night overall. Davis had 27-14-2-2, just a typical night for him these days. Anderson found his groove, as I mentioned in the pre-game a trip back home […]

GameOn: Pelicans Travel To Sacramento with Season Series in Hand
The Pelicans have won all 3 matchups with the Kings so far this season but sit 2 games behind them in the league standings. What a season it has been, with just 18 games left a top 5 draft pick is within grasp. One win in their last 9 has put the Pels just 3.5 […]

Warriors Blow Out the Pelicans; Sun Will Rise in the East Tomorrow
You know, for a minute there it seemed like the New Orleans Pelicans might stay in this game against the Golden State Warriors. Though, that wasn’t exactly due to the Pelicans playing well as the Warriors missed a handful of three-pointers to start the game. The Pelicans even had a 40-38 point lead halfway through […]

Pelicans Can’t Quite Hold Against Bucks
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-41) continue their near free-fall after dropping the third game of five on this road trip, this time to the injured-but-plucky Milwaukee Bucks (28-38). Though the Pelicans lost the game 103-92, the game was both closer and even more out of reach than the score indicates. The Pelicans spent most of […]

New Orleans Pelicans Continue Road Trip Against Milwaukee Bucks
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (27-38) tonight in another clash of survivors.

Pelicans Fall to Grizzlies in Overtime Sort Of
The New Orleans Pelicans (24-40) played and ultimately lost a fun one against the Memphis Grizzlies (39-26). Both teams were without key players, and the game was sloppy. The Pelicans lost an early lead, overcame a decent deficit, could not avoid overtime, then just fell victim to a combination of luck, defense, and some Grizzlies […]

You can set the records aside tonight, because neither team really reflects their record thanks to a butcher’s bill of […]

Pelicans Show A Lot in Loss to Hornets
After a 4 game losing streak that all but put the final nail in the coffin containing a lifeless corpse of an unidentifiable large bird inside, New Orleans came out and went down 17 points in consecutive games. But in both those games they showed some character, battling back to win the 1st one, and […]

Game On: Pelicans Go Back to their Roots against the Hornets

Is Alvin Gentry Good For Anthony Davis?
“Primarily responsible for the Warriors offense — top-rated for most of the season — Gentry believes the Pelicans have underutilized Davis’ offensive skills. Not only did he express this during his initial interview with Loomis and Demps, but Gentry also came into that session equipped with charts and graphs to illustrate his point.” That was […]

Which Way Is Up?
Fans of the New Orleans Pelicans have no shortage of legitimate gripes this season. They are often lost, however, in the seemingly endless supply of illegitimate ones, poor support for legitimate gripes, and just incessant, poorly-directed ax-grinding for whatever justifiable personal reasons people have. Picking apart a play or two in each game, focusing on […]

Los Struggles Continue For the Pelicans on Spanish Night
The Jazz snapped a 5-game losing streak against the New Orleans Pelicans in a 106-94 win. This is the Pelicans 4th loss in a row.

Both teams have struggled of late, with the Pelicans having lost three straight games due to 4th quarter letdowns, and the Utah Jazz dropping out of the 8th seed due to losing five straight games (and going […]

Pelicans Play Well in Loss to Spurs
The New Orleans Pelicans (23-37) fell, as expected, to the San Antonio Spurs (52-9). As noted in the pre-game, I’m dispensing with any playoff blather, and even considered not mentioning the record or the 94-86 final score, but I figured the context is valuable. I’ve reflected on the game, and overall I’m happy with the […]
