Louis Armstrong might have sung, “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans,” but I don’t think the Golden State Warriors will spend any time longing for the days when Anthony Davis was between them and moving forward in the NBA playoffs. Still, after three games that seemed to be going in the […]

One can certainly look at the New Orleans Pelicans’ “sweeping” exit from the 2015 NBA Playoffs and conclude that head coach Monty Williams is not likely to lead this franchise to greater riches. However, there’s a difference between “not likely” and “certain,” and it’s this fundamental point which sits at the heart of the matter […]

You snooze, you lose… unless you’re the Golden State Warriors against the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The team with the NBA’s best record is about to reach the second round after a remarkable Game 3 escape. However, a clear pattern of regression coexists with the Warriors’ impending advancement […]

The one-game nature of NFL playoff football — how one day’s breaks and bounces affect a team’s postseason fate — gives the province of pigskin a constant unpredictability. The reality of playoff hockey reduces that sport to puck luck and the quality of the two goaltenders on a given day. The nature of playoff baseball […]

The top seeded Golden State Warriors had their hands full last night with the New Orleans Pelicans. At one point the Pelicans built a 20 point fourth quarter lead but the Warriors came rushing back and ultimately Stephen Curry hit his amazing shot with just three seconds left to send the game into overtime where […]

Before I started contributing to Crossover Chronicles I had no idea how ridiculously good the NBA’s Youtube Channel is. They are cranking out consistently good and fun content. Other leagues should take note. Here’s a look at the best plays of 2014-2015 as we head into the playoffs…

The Pelicans clinched the 8th spot in the West postseason by beating the defending champs Spurs last night in New Orleans. With the win, the Pelicans make it into the playoffs for the first time and will draw the top seed in the West – the Warriors. After the huge win, the Pelicans celebrated in […]

The New Orleans Pelicans did it. They managed to navigate the brutal Western Conference and earn the eight seed. While that likely means they will just be the first team to lose to Golden State in the playoffs, it is still an accomplishment for a team who is probably a bit ahead of schedule. Not to […]

One of the first particularly memorable moments of a fascinating NBA regular season occurred on Nov. 8, when I was covering college football for Bloguin’s college sports site, The Student Section. The New Orleans Pelicans traveled to San Antonio to take on the newly-crowned NBA champions. The business of the regular season had begun, but […]

In the 162-game baseball season or the 16-game NFL season, an improvement of just over 10 games cannot be compared. Such an improvement is titanic in the NFL, comparatively modest in baseball. In hockey, 10 more wins in a regular season could mean something hugely significant, but with overtime and shootout losses counting for a […]

The Kings’ Sauce Castillo’s (formerly known as Nik Stauskas) legend grew ten-fold against the Pelicans as Sauce dipped the Pelicans’ Alexis Ajinça into some of his dunk sauce that sent a message to the rest of the NBA’s big men… YOU DON’T MESS WITH SAUCE! Check out Sauce dropping the hammer on Ajinca.

New Orleans wasn’t supposed to make the playoffs. The West didn’t appear to have any playoff vacancies, and if an outsider did crack the conference’s Top 8 slots, the best odds belonged to the Suns, not the Pelicans, considering that Phoenix missed the postseason with 48 wins a season ago. Yes, the Pelicans have Anthony […]

Turn away if you are faint of heart because you are about to see a human being lose a tooth. The Pelicans’ Eric Gordon was trying to get past the Clippers’ Matt Barnes when he tripped and fell flat on his face. Oh and he lost a tooth too. Check out Gordon’s tooth come flying […]
