*NEW* GameDay Thread Rule:



-Trade Talk only allowed pre-game, half time, and post game.



When the game is live. Discussion must focus on live game.



Trade talks during game have become too disruptive. If you want talk trade during the game. Use the official trade talk thread



Next we got the mention sign up list for game day alerts. We will start from zero. So, last year mentions will have re-up for this season.Request to be apart by mentioning me in a post below @Taker597 or LIKING this post.



I'm doing things a little different this year, but drop all the the tiers in the 1st week. If you want to be in specific tier. Just post which one you wanna be in, but there is one golden rule.Only 11 users can be in the Herb tier. If you don't post in the game thread on a consistent basis. You'll be bump down a tier

The rock band America had their last major Top 40 hit, "You Can Do Magic" in 1982, but these Pelicans aren't any one-trick pony, smoke-and-mirrors Disneyland attraction. It's the result of hard work, dedication, intense amount of focus, concentrating and building up the positive dynamics and keeping a good aura on the team during this long regular-season, being glad and content when we won but still believing we're capable of achieving more but not letting the inevitable minor injuries and slumps effect our mental and psychological edge. That's our magic and it's certainly not a product built on illusory, shifting sands. It's hard-won and achieved through pain, sacrifice, conflicts in past seasons and occasional frustration.

That makes solid, dependable teams winners, year in and year out, albeit with a decent amount of fortuitous luck aid us in a few wins occasionally. This organization has just reached a milestone where we've had consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2007-2009.

Once again, my gratitude and appreciation goes to Taker for a outstanding, superb game-day Pelicans thread. Lets continue our winning streak and strive to get closer in reaching 50 wins.

This will be a good test for the Pels... They are a very similar team to the Pels in almost every way - just in the opposite conference. I will be watching closely to see if the Pels can close them out and play clutch mins when needed against a top 5 team in their conference with a stud player like Paolo.

I've missed too many Pels games recently.
It's time to sit back and watch me some Noo Awlins basketball tonight! :9:

It's the home stretch! Geaux Pels! :very-happy:

Pels are the better team an should win this game. The Magic haven't beaten a team with a winning record since Feb 22nd. Their 8-2 record in the last 10 games is an eastern conference blessing. They are 15-22 against +500 teams.

They are ranked 22nd in offense vs the Pels 10th. Both teams are similar in 3 point frequency, but the Pels are 5th and Orlando is 25th in 3 pt%.

Agreed plus there is a difference between being 5th place in the East and 5th place in the West. Other than the top slot, every team in the West has a better record than their East counterpart. If the Pels were in the East, they would likely be in second or third place as their record is 16-8 against that conference
 
These next 2 games... Orlando tonight and Miami on a B2B tomorrow night... are very pivotal to this team. They MUST win at least one of these two (preferably BOTH) with the lowly Detroit Pistons waiting on Sunday afternoon. The next home stand looks especially brutal, and the team needs to stack up wins now.
