Man, I gotta tell you about this whole thing with the Pelicans, the basketball team. It’s been a bit of a ride, let me just say. So, I wanted to get in on watching their games, right? It’s not as straightforward as you’d think.
First off, I heard about this thing called Pelicans+. Sounds cool, huh? It’s like their own streaming service, so you can watch the games without needing some old-school cable subscription. They were making a big deal about it, saying it’s the first time they’re doing something like this, bringing the games to folks all over the Gulf South. I was pretty stoked.
I started digging around, trying to figure out how to sign up and all that. Apparently, if you’re within 150 miles of New Orleans, you’re golden. You can use Pelicans+ to watch the games live. But if you’re outside that area, it’s a whole different ball game. You gotta find other ways, which is a bummer.
- I also looked into their schedule and tried to sync it up with my own calendar.
- They have this thing on their website where you can select your favorite schedules.
- I did that, so now I get updates and game details. Pretty neat, I guess.
Then there’s the whole deal with getting into the stadium. I was thinking of going to a game in person, but they have these strict rules about bags. Nothing bigger than 14x14x6 inches is allowed inside the Smoothie King Center. They’re not messing around with that, I heard.
I’ve been trying to keep up with the team’s stats, too. You know, who’s scoring the most points, who’s getting the most rebounds, all that stuff. One guy, Brandon Ingram, he’s been a bit off in the playoffs. I was checking out some articles, hoping he’d find his groove again. It’s tough when your star player isn’t hitting his stride.
Oh, and did you know the Pelicans used to be called the Hornets? Yeah, they were in Charlotte, North Carolina, way back in 1988. Crazy, right? They moved to New Orleans and became the Pelicans.
So yeah, that’s my whole experience with trying to follow the Pelicans. It’s been interesting, to say the least. I’m still figuring it all out, but I’m getting there. Watching sports shouldn’t be this complicated, but hey, what can you do?
I just want to watch some basketball. Hope next season will be easier. Anyway, that’s my story for now. I’ll probably have more to say as the season goes on. Catch you later!
