Pels fall to Spurs
It was a pretty good game until the last five minutes or so. That was when the Spurs unleashed their true team – rolling with Parker-Green-Manu-Leonard-Aldridge – with Mills doing some offense-defense rotations with Manu. The Pels couldn’t figure out what their counter would be. They tried Anderson, but decided he couldn’t guard Kawhi and […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Spurs
The Pelicans best win of the year was probably their defeat of San Antonio back at the end of November. Tonight they hope to repeat that outcome on the road, ending the Spurs undefeated streak at home. The Spurs, for their part, have looked simply very good without Tim Duncan to anchor their backline defense. […]

Pelicans return to the Post Season by ending Spurs Win Streak
Every team that makes the leap has a few moments you can look back on and remember clearly. Games or moments that tested their mettle and honed them rather than broke them. I can’t predict the future – I thought we were experiencing this back in 2007. This could go that way and be soured – […]

Game On: Spurs @ Pelicans
Most of the time when I break out one of these game previews, an opponent has a few glaring issues that the Pelicans could attack in particular – A team that can’t protect the boards that can be eaten by the Pelican’s glass dominance, or a team that relies on turnovers for cheap points can […]

Pelicans lose to Spurs by 2. Dangit.
The Pelicans failed to capitalize on their strength advantage as the Spurs – a lousy rebounding team, controlled the boards and edged out a two point win. My observations: Russ wasn’t wearing his awesome pastel shoes tonight. It made me sad. I think it also affected his game. His opening quarter was brutal. Almost every […]

Pelicans Struggle Throughout, Fall to Spurs
Following a dramatic come from behind victory in Cleveland, the New Orleans Pelicans expected to bring it against the Spurs. What they did not expect, however, was for “it” to be missing a few letters out in front… Our Pelicans nearly lost control of the game as early as the first quarter when the Spurs […]

Game On: New Orleans Pelicans @ San Antonio Spurs
What do you get when you cross a Pelican and a Spur? One angry bird! Sorry… A victory over the Spurs tonight would leave the Pelicans above .500 for the first time in their brief history, and would all but ensure that Monty gets at least a brief reprieve from the “hot seat” that so […]

Spurring Some Heated Discussion
With the 2013 NBA Finals on our temporal doorsteps, with the present and past colliding like fists two Chuck Norris fists, with silent power and grace slamming into furious flash, with the Obi-Wan battling the Anakin, of course all I can think about is the New Orleans Pelicans. All Pelicans, all the time . . […]

Spurs pick and then roll Hornets
In the first half, neither team was really stopping the other. Vasquez was finding the roll man or Eric Gordon was drilling every shot he put up. On the flip side, Tony Parker tore the Lopez-Vasquez pick and roll defense to pieces. Again and again, Parker would get into space and pull back, Lopez would […]
