New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans may be done waiting on the Chicago Bulls to free Tom Thibodeau. Although the Bulls’ head honcho has been linked to all three current NBA head-coaching vacancies, Chicago’s front office appears hell-bent on ensuring he doesn’t coach next season and is holding him in their keep until all the job wells [...]

Tom Thibodeau isn’t afraid to think about a future that doesn’t include the Chicago Bulls. Rumors regarding his future in the Windy City have been swirling for months. Years, even. Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski penned a piece recently in which he portrayed Thibodeua’s departure as inevitable. And so, barring a Bulls title, it feels inevitable. [...]

It seems the New Orleans Pelicans are still riding that “Hey! We made the playoffs for the first time since 2011” high. Being on the wrong end of first-round sweep isn’t something to typically celebrate—especially when, in all honesty, you probably wouldn’t have even made said postseason appearance if not for Fate tearing the Oklahoma [...]

Coming off a decent over-matched first-round effort against the top-seeded Golden State Warriors, the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be dealing with a number of things as they head towards the off-season. And one of them (which undoubtedly should be their top priority) is securing their superstar, Anthony Davis, for the long-term. With that [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ may have lost (99-106) in game one of their first-round matchup with the Warriors. But it was clear that they fought valiantly to the very end, particularly, in the final period where they outscored the Warriors 33-22. Also, they did that without their starting point guard—Tyreke Evans—who was forced to leave [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

The battle between the New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth seed in the Western Conference has taken yet another turn. New Orleans stunned the West-leading Golden State Warriors 103-100 on Tuesday night and improved to 42-35, while the San Antonio Spurs thrashed OKC 113-88 and dropped the Thunder to 42-36. Consequently, [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]
