  • Suns vs Pels (but with memes) Video Recap

    Suns came into Nola so join me in recapping the game in an entertaining & (hopefully) funny/fun way. If the reception of this kind of review does well I’d love to do more of select games in the future. In the mean time, enjoy.

  • Devonte’ Graham Video Breakdown

    (Photo Credit: Charlotte Hornets) I know some people have been really disappointed in the offseason so far, but I think part of the reason for the disappointment is because many don’t know much about our new players. Now, I won’t pretend I’ve watched every Graham game or that I’m an expert on him, but I […]

  • Pels Safe Space: SVG is out

    After the news of Stan Van Gundy being out as the Pels head coach I hosted a quick emergency spaces. It was about 1am for me over here in Japan so my energy is really low & I am repeating myself at times because I was so sleepy, but the fan base wanted to talk […]

  • Pels Safe Space: Season Wrapup

    Hello Pels fans, after the final game of the season myself, Shamit, & Jason had good time wrapping up the season with the Pelicans community. The original chat was almost 3hrs & we’ve covered just about every topic you can think of regarding the Pelicans. I’ve cut the chat down to about 1hr so it’s […]

    Hello Pels fans, if you don’t know, we’ve been hosting a spaces chat after a few of the games & I think they’ve been really fun so I decided to record our latest chat so those of you that missed the chat can enjoy some of the moments or to allow those who were involved […]

  • Quick Hits: Defense or Offense?

    I’ve decided to make a quick video to share my thoughts on if the Pels should focus their attention on fixing their defense or their offense. It’s a pretty quick watch & I hope you guys enjoy the video.

  • A Deeper Look Pt.2

    1. I like to call this photo “The assassination of Bigby Williams”. I know it sounds like the title of a book that you had to read in middle school, but what it actually is is a dunk that happened during pregame scrimmage. Before this image happened, Bigby was WORKING Jax in every way you […]

  • A Deeper Look

    If you follow Bourbon Street Shots, or myself, on Instagram or Twitter you would know that I take a lot of pictures in the time that I can before games & at practice…A LOT of pictures. Roughly 600 photos per game. Out of those 600, about 80 meet my standards and are good enough to […]

  • The Blame Game

    So far in this very young season, the Pelicans have played 7 games & have a 1-6 record.  When you see that record, you may be disappointed, especially if your expectations were to win now. You may be thinking, “THIS PELICANS ROSTER IS BETTER THAN THIS! IT MUST BE THE COACH’S FAULT!” as you air […]

  • FILM REVIEW: Blazers vs. Pelicans – Game 1

    James Grayson has created a great breakdown of what the Pels did to secure their win in their first matchup against the Trailblazers. What did Jrue & the team do to lock up Dame How did Portland get their offensive rebounds How Portland made their comeback What the Pels need to continue to do to […]

  • Bad Wins and Good Losses

    It is early in the NBA season and the Pelicans have shown flashes of what could be an extremely difficult to defend, well oiled, offense. They have also shown an offense that consistently shoots itself in the foot.  At times, the Pelicans have made shots running a single P&R with barely any movement after that […]

  • Pelicans Wrestling Tournament

    Have you ever wondered “Hey, what Pelican player would make the best professional wrestler?” Of course you have! Well I have a found a way to find the answer to that question with a simulated wrestling tournament consisting of eight Pelican players. The CPU is set to the highest difficulty and will control each player. […]

    Yesterday I decided that I was going to document the Wizards game to try to give you a close up and personal look of what a typical home game is like for the New Orleans Pelicans players and staff.  You can see what the players are doing hours before the game and hopefully this gives […]
