You Want Hope...I'll Give You Hope

As the New Orleans Pelicans get ready to play the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, I know it's hard to find much encouraging about the team's 8-19 start. I'm not here to tell you the Pels are playing great basketball, but I will say that there are still many reasons you shouldn't give up on the season just yet. For the light at the end of the tunnel, please check out the video....however, if they lose tonight, I'm erasing this story from your memory.

Bad Body Language

It's the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. But the time has come...it must be said. Anthony Davis has checked out. As much as I love the young superstar's potential, his body language this season has been terrible. I know Davis is only 22 years old & has been the face of the Pelicans franchise since he was a teenager. But for the first time in his young career, Davis looks disengaged & it appears the constant losing has taken its toll. Here's the rest of the story...

No. 16 Baylor dominated by Texas A&M

Missed opportunities and poor effort eventually doomed Baylor basketball in an 80-61 loss in College Station.

When their behavior had become so concerning, they needed to have "the talk"? Well, that's exactly where I am with this New Orleans Pelicans team...Mr. Half Glass Full is now near empty. This video comes with a warning....it ain't pleasant & it ain't pretty, but it's the HARD CORE TRUTH. Enjoy!

4th Quarter Comeback!

After starting the NBA season with a 6-18 record & only one road win in a baker's dozen of attempts, not much was expected from the New Orleans Pelicans as they tipped off against the Utah Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City. And for 3 quarters, the script was familiar....the Pelicans played well early, stayed competitive for most of the game, and then their opponent started to pull away late in the 3rd quarter. However tonight, they decided to flip the script....and thank goodness they did.

MSU Men's Basketball Falls At FSU

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A fast start was not enough for the Mississippi State men’s basketball team Wednesday night against Florida State. The Bulldogs fell behind in the late stages of the first half and could not overcome a strong second-half performance by the Seminoles, falling 90-66 at the Tucker Center. (Article Source: MSU Athletics Media Relations)

AFTERMATH: APP STATE vs. TEXAS

It was gritty more than pretty, but for 30 minutes of game time Appalachian State had played Texas to a draw on the Longhorns’ floor. As has happened in other games this young season the Mountaineers didn’t finish off with the win. It hasn’t been the same symptom in each of those losses but the result has been identical. App put forth winning effort, but the execution didn’t follow.

Time to Tinker?

It's no secret that the Pelicans have been exploring trade options, especially now that NBA teams are allowed to deal players that signed free agent contracts before September 16th. We've been hearing a lot about how the Pels need to get an active up & down small forward in the mix...and Phoenix' Markieff Morris would fit in beautifully. But today, some rumors are running rampantly how about a perennial All-Star center who might be available for relatively cheap.

Pelicans-Jazz Pregame Breakdown

What are the New Orleans Pelicans trying to be this season? The high octane free-flowing offensive team that new head coach Alvin Gentry brought over from his stint with the Golden State Warriors? After several games, it's obvious the Pels don't have the right pieces for that offense. But after a week of watching them attempt to slam the ball into Anthony Davis in predictable, half-court sets, I'm not sure that will work either. Tonight, they need to find a happy medium vs the Utah Jazz.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

One step forward and then two, three, four & sometimes even five steps back. It's been the prominent theme for the disappointing New Orleans Pelicans, who are almost two months into this once-promising season. Here's a peek into some of the reasons why....

Does AD Have Buyer's Remorse?

Anthony Davis surprised many "NBA Insiders" this summer when he signed a mega extension to his Pelicans rookie contract for a whopping $29 million a year. It wasn't surprising that he actually re-signed with the team, it was more the fact that Davis agreed to the deal literally one minute after the free agency period began on July 1st, showing the rest of the league that he meant business. But after the Pels lethargic start, one has to wonder if the superstar big man might have buyer's remorse.

Friday Night Lights Checks Out Hoops

Rarely does a metro Birmingham regular season basketball game attract this type hype and attention.

Perfect Warriors put away Pacers early

Klay Thompson scores game-high 39 points while 'Splash Brother' Stephen Curry adds 29 as Golden State extends record NBA run.

NBA's Most Consistently Inconsistent

The New Orleans Pelicans are at a serious early season crossroads. They've only won 5 games in 21 tries this year, but the Pels have proven they can compete, and win, against some of the NBA's elite. In fact, the teams the Pelicans have beaten own a combined 54-32 record, including the always powerful Spurs & Lebron-led Cavs. And that's exactly what makes their current 5-16 record so maddening. It's happened, the Pels have become the league's most consistently inconsistent team....

AFTERMATH: APP STATE vs. HOFSTRA

The venue was historical, the competition was epic, and the outcome had to be earned. Neither Appalachian State nor Hofstra backed down all afternoon, in a game that featured 11 ties and eight lead changes. Ultimately, Hofstra’s tough and experienced scorers outdueled App’s best of the day, but the Mountaineers pushed yet another game right to the wire. Next, they have to push through one.

Something Special

Despite the slow start of the 2015-16 season, the New Orleans Pelicans have played pretty good basketball against some of their toughest opponents. And that was certainly evident when Lebron James & the Cleveland Cavaliers came to town Friday night. And for the first time all year, the Pelicans 5 best players were all healthy AND played well at the same time. And after the horrific luck that's hovered over this Pelican franchise, many weren't sure if they'd ever see that again...

Well, it's been several giant steps backwards. And with Lebron James & the Cleveland Cavaliers coming to town, it seems like a bad time for the Pelicans to snap out of yet another 4-game losing streak.
