Game 40 Pelicans at Raptors

New Orleans isn't a team that gets discussed much, which is why when they come to town and dominate lesser teams it's such a shock. After Friday's lackluster performance the Raptors had better be in top form to meet The Pelicans with full strength.

• The #1 pick in the 2012 Draft Anthony Davis is having an MVP caliber year. Watch for this guy to be on the top players for years to come
• The Raptors held a players only meeting after losing to Atlanta 110-89. What exactly was discussed is unknown, but you can be sure the right problems were addressed and preventative actions have been taken.
• Former rookie of the year Tyreke Evans is having a great year averaging around 15 points for New Orleans. Keeping him and Davis in check will be key for a Raptors W.
• Yes, they are the Pelicans. After being sold by the league in the 2012 the then Hornets announced they would be changing their moniker. After months of speculation the team was renamed the Pelicans, after Louisiana's state bird.

SONG OF THE DAY

"King Of New Orleans" - Better Than Ezra

Not only do they sing about New Orleans, but Better Than Ezra actually hail from the Louisiana town. One of the biggest out-of-nowhere acts of the 90's Better Than Ezra saw their popularity wane slightly in the 2000's. Though they are still active today and making music, the success of albums like Deluxe and Friction, Baby are what they will be forever known for.

Afternoon game! Let's go Raps!
