Pelicans find three point shot and Gordon finishes off Pistons
If one team can make a run, the other team is probably capable of doing the same. That’s pretty much what happened tonight as the Pelicans went on a sick 17-2 run, took a nice lead, and then allowed the Pistons to make their own 22-6 run in return. The Pistons were up 10 with […]

However, I did one little trick so I could focus on Anthony Davis – I cut off players […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Grizzlies
Playing the Grizzlies used to be a good matchup for the Pelicans. Davis could out-quick both Gasol and Randolph. Jason Smith and Ryan Anderson were both shooters that would make one of those two guys chase them where they didn’t want to go. Jrue Holiday could match Mike Conley. Tony Allen could only guard one […]

Pelicans fall just a touch short on the Road

Two factors, however, worked to doom the Pelicans in the end: All their missing big guns, and Dirk Nowitzki. I said in the pregame I wanted the Pelicans […]
