The team was 22–12 by the beginning of 1970 in part due to two 6 game winning streaks.
However, the team finished one game out of the final playoff spot to the Los Angeles Stars.
The team did not have as much success with attendance, and plans were made to play home games throughout the state (even renaming themselves as the Louisiana Buccaneers), such as Shreveport, Lafayette, Monroe and Baton Rouge.
New Orleans would not have a pro basketball team until 1974 with the Jazz.
