The Bird Calls

We wrap up the Pelicans stunning four game sweep of the Portland Trailblazers with BlazersEdge.com's Editor, David Mackay, before discussing what it will take for the Pelicans to scare the defending champs, the Golden State Warriors in a game that could occur as soon as this Saturday should the Dubs defeat SAS tomorrow night.  Subscribe and rate us today!   Follow us @TheBirdWrites Blogtalkradio.c...

The Pelicans Move on!  129-123 and it took an otherworldy effort from Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday, who combined for 88 points!  They needed every bit of it as CJ McCollum and Al Farouq Aminu combined for 75 of their own on the night.  It was chippy, it was electric, and the Pelicans get to start their weekend early, and prepare for Golden State!

The New Orleans Pelicans took care of business against the Los Angeles Clippers 113-100, and now are guaranteed a position in the playoffs.  Should they beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday they can finish no worse than fifth.  YAS.   Join @olehkosel, @kevinbforbounce and @dmgrubb as we celebrate and break down our favorite moments, as well as what it is yet to come.   Subscribe and rate us on...

The Pelicans have the opportunity to lock up a playoff spot for the first time in three years, but the Los Angeles Clippers stand in their way.  While the Pelicans might get some injury luck with the ankle injury suffered by Lou Williams, the likelihood is that Tobias Harris and Deandre Jordan will still play. Sorry in advance for the technical difficulties.  Join Robert Flom and I as we break dow...

The Pelicans managed to escape the desert with relative ease last night, but now the REAL fun begins.   Losers of 24 of their last 25 games, the Pelicans seek to do the improbable against a fuming Warriors team.  The Warriors were flat out "embarassed" by the Indiana Pacers, according to Steve Kerr, and they'll look to exact their revenge on the Pelicans tonight in Oakland.   Will the Pels survive...

We don't mention Anthony Davis once!  That's how crazy the West is right now.  With back to back losses suffered by the Spurs, it is truly anyone's game.

The Pelicans take on the second worst team in the NBA on Wednesday night in the Memphis Grizzlies, and yet, there is no reason to feel safe.   The 21-56 Grizz have taken down the Nuggets, Wolves and Blazers in the past two weeks and gave the Jazz everything they could handle three days ago.   With that being said, Editor and Chief Joe Mullinax of GrizzlyBearBlues.com expects only a moderate fight...

We disperse as much blame as we possibly can before recognizing that the Pelicans were simply beaten by four better teams on nights when Anthony Davis was not his best.   There is hope to be had Pelicans fans.  The Grizz and Suns are up next on the schedule before the Pelicans face the resting (?) Warriors, followed by the potentially eliminated Clippers and then finally.....The Spurs.   Follow us...

The New Orleans Pelicans face off with the King himself tonight in Cleveland.  Good news is they probably won't have Kevin Love!  Still the King has been otherworldly lately, averaging 31, 10 and 10 since the start of February.  Can the Pelicans' escape Cleveland with a much needed victory?   Follow us @TheBirdWrites Blogtalkradio.com/thebirdcalls Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bi...

The New Orleans Pelicans are shocking the NBA World, and even NBA France is taking notice.  The Pelicans finished their five games in six nights with a 4-1 record.  The Pels trailed in each contest, but outdistanced their opponents in the fourth, 121-78.  With a fourth seeded place card in hand, the Pelicans go back to Houston, where they will once again try to stop the 39-2 CP3/Harden/Capela gian...
