The New Orleans Pelicans continue to fluctuate in and out of the win column just as they have over the 2017-18 NBA season thus far. Not much was different tonight in their heartbreaking loss to the high-powered Houston Rockets. Fortunately, fans were at least treated to their second triple-double performance of the year thanks to veteran […]

What is there that Houston Rockets superstar guard James Harden cannot do? The guy is an absolute beast on a basketball court. During Houston’s thrilling 130-123 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night at Toyota Center, Harden tied a Rockets team record in the first half for assists. According to a tweet from Rockets […]

In case you forgot, Houston Rocket guard Chris Paul has the ability to break any defenders’ ankles. Here he is nearly causing New Orleans Pelicans forward Jalen Jones’ ankles to burst by busting out a mini-Shammgod crossover dribble during Monday night’s match against the New Orleans Pelicans at home. And to top it off, he […]

The proliferation of score-first guards today in the NBA is redefining the position – if it hasn’t been already – but from time to time, we are reminded what a point guard’s primary duty is, which is to distribute the ball on the floor. On Sunday, that’s exactly what New Orleans Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo […]

New Orleans Pelicans Tony Allen limped off the court with an apparent leg injury during their match against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Legend has it that if you search the term “No Mercy” on Google, there’s a good chance that a picture of Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will pop up in the results.

The New Orleans Pelicans suffered perhaps their most frustrating loss of the 2017-18 NBA season on Friday night.

Needless to say, the loss to the lowly Kings left a bad taste in the mouth of […]

During last Monday’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans, former Olympic team teammates DeMarcus Cousins and Kevin Durant got into the face of each other during a mini-scuffle on the court. Both players were ejected, but the enmity didn’t end there. In fact, Cousins’ blood seemed to be still curdling […]

The Sacramento Kings very nearly beat the New Orleans Pelicans at the buzzer in regulation. After Zach Randolph’s potential game-winning shot came up long, 40-year-old Vince Carter was able to leap up and deliver a putback slam over Anthony Davis. But alas, it didn’t count as Carter’s dunk came just a second too late. Vince […]

Sacramento Kings veteran Zach Randolph is one of the toughest dudes in the league and isn’t one to back down from anyone on the court. He clearly didn’t back down from DeMarcus Cousins, as he went toe-to-toe with the imposing New Orleans Pelicans big man in their head-to-head matchup on Friday night. The two had many […]

New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis has been listed as questionable for their upcoming matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, per Yahoo! Sports.

Already missing the services of Anthony Davis, who is currently day-to-day with an adductor strain, the New Orleans Pelicans suffered another blow to their big man rotation, as Alexis Ajinca is slated to miss four to six months, as he underwent surgery on his right patellar tendon.

The Dallas Mavericks could do with a superstar these days. With Dirk Nowitzki’s career winding down and rookie Dennis Smith Jr. still some time away from reaching his true potential, they unsurprisingly find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference because of their lack of star power. One such superstar that they could target […]

DeMarcus Cousins has had it with the villain label seemingly place on his forehead every time he takes the court. For a change, the referees held their whistle as Mason Plumlee tried to sell a flagrant foul and possible ejection, going down fast and hard after Cousins had collected a defensive rebound with his elbows […]

DeMarcus Cousins has built a reputation as a rough-grinding, ball-pounding, board-snatching, might-accidentally-elbow-you-in-the-face-while-I-come-down type of player. And he claims that hasn’t helped him at all. Mason Plumlee of the Denver Nuggets used that against him with 1:25 left in the fourth quarter, going down like Drago in the 12th round with Rocky Balboa, holding his face […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are being cautious with regards to the manner they are dealing with their prized center Anthony Davis’ injury.

DeMarcus Cousins won’t dwell on his second ejection of the season, which he received in the winding moments of a 125-115 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.

Ahead by a much larger margin than they’ve had the entire game, the Golden State Warriors tried to survive a comeback after falling in a 21-point hole against a capable New Orleans Pelicans team playing without talisman Anthony Davis with a left adductor strain.

In the summer of 2017 we witnessed one of the most intriguing postseasons in recent history. The weird thing is that it wasn’t the Finals that got fans excited – it was free agency and trades.
