The New Orleans Pelicans

[CKR13]

Up and under pre-season game between New Orleans and Houston. Houston owned the 1st. New Orleans owned the 2nd. Houston owned the 3rd and finally, New Orleans made a comeback in the 4th for the win. Good game from Austin Rivers, was aggressive and got into the charity a lot. Rivers covered some firepower for Davis and Morrow with this one.

Some good news: Eric Gordon has rejoined the team for practice. This after getting a green signal from the physicians with two weeks to go before tip off.

Pelicans is a more suiting name than hornets because the state bird in Louisiana is the Pelican. Hornets was more suiting when the team played in North Carolina.

Ryan Anderson will miss three weeks due to a fracture on his toe.

Eric Gordon looks sharp so far. Made a trey and some baskets. Tyreke makes his debut and quickly makes a short stab.

[CKR13]

Almost a victory. Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday tore it up and things look promising for their cohesion. Evans bounced from SG to SF and lost his game.

[CKR13]

Good game by Tyreke Evans. Got going late in the 3rd and helped put the finishing touches in the 4th.

From the other night: Career game for Anthony Davis.

It is reported that the Pelicans have signed free agent swingman Josh Childress.

From the other night: Career game for Anthony Davis.

Future MVP of the league, IMO. He has all the tools on both ends of the floor. He's extremely efficient- takes high % shots, rebounds well, defends well both his man and is a great help side defender, rebounds very well, runs the floor, doesn't turn the ball over very often.

A lot of experts have picked guys like Irving or Wiggins as future MVPs a few years down the road but if I'm betting $ I'm putting it on Anthony Davis.

Well said and I agree. Great start for him and has put a lot of work this summer. That age old jinx of sophomore slump is far away from Davis.

Davis has five blocks in the first half against Utah.

[CKR13]

One of those games where Pelicans did everything right as they pounced on the Philadelphia 76ers. Anthony Davis owned the paint while the back-court of Gordon and Holiday did the most damage as they shredded Philadelphia's guards. Ryan Anderson is progressing with his return and Tyreke Evans, playing home in Philadelphia sparked the bench.

Pelicans adding more misery to the Knicks last night. Ryan Anderson killed them with his shooting from downtown while Tyreke Evans broke them down with his slashing saviness. Both interior defense and shooter coverage were exposed.

Reports this morning came in and Anthony Davis is out indefinitely with a hand fracture.
