Trew 2 the Game #16: Hype Themes
Last year at Media Day several players implied that they get the opportunity to select the music that played after they scored. Depending on how true this is, it remains my least favorite thing about Austin Rivers that one of his choices last season was Austin Powers saying “yeah baby”. More than the turnovers and […]

Trew 2 the Game #15: Preseason Possibilities
The Pelicans have played 96 minutes of basketball this preseason on division rival’s turf. Half in Houston, half in Dallas. This Wednesday Crescent City Basketball will take on the Magic in Jacksonville (chances Ryan Anderson will outscore the Jaguars’ next score – 2:1). Then it’s the Hawks in Biloxi, the Thunder in Tulsa and the […]

Trew to the Game #5: The State of New Jerseys
In 2005 the state of New Jersey wanted a new state slogan. The five finalists were revealed, the people voted and all was happy. The eventual winner was “Come See For Yourself” which you actually can see for yourself right here, courtesy of a still standing tall Governor’s Action website. What about the other four […]

Trew 2 The Game #4: Let’s Go the Polls
Welcome to the fourth weekly installment of the lighter side of Pelicans reporting, Trew 2 the Game.

In […]

Trew 2 the Game #3: The Greg Omen
What if Greg Oden ended up better than Kevin Durant? What if Greg Oden becomes the most inspiring comeback story in the history of New Orleans sports, making that epic Saints comeback completely irrelevant (the 2009 Dolphins one, not the John Carney extra point one, which is definitely irrelevant already)? What if Greg Oden did […]
