New Orleans Pelicans Win a Marathon in Triple Overtime Against the Bulls
Jrue Holiday ran straight down the floor and hit an and-one layup to propel the Pelicans in triple over-time. This was a game to remember. Ryan Anderson was astounding as he finished with 37 points. In fact, it’s surprising the game even went to a third overtime. With New Orleans up by two points in […]

Should Ryan Anderson be Starting?
Put me in, damnit. No. I don’t care that Ryan Anderson isn’t starting.. for Ryan Anderson. He gets his minutes, and though I do think that it may affect some NBA players’ attitudes, I don’t see it as a huge problem. Ryan Anderson has been professional his entire time here, and most often, he comes onto the […]

I was perusing nba.com/stats today and I stumbled upon an alarming statistic. The Pelicans are 2nd to last in field goal percentage in the restricted area, shooting a paltry 51.3%. A team with Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis, and Tyreke Evans should be nowhere near last in this regard. Davis is one of the league’s most talented […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Magic
Just breathe. Whatever the reason, there has seemed to be some fan panic after Wednesday night’s loss versus the Pacers. The truth is, the Pelicans match up very poorly against the Pacers, who defend the rim extremely well and force you to beat them from outside. Which brings me to tonight. The Magic are in […]
