  • Notes from the Underground: New Orleans Pelicans Practice 12.19

    After last night’s 99-90 road victory against the Houston Rockets, the New Orleans Pelicans had a short practice in preparation of tomorrow night’s home game against the Portland Trailblazers. Since last night, Tyreke Evans has had a MRI that’s revealed he has a bone bruise. Evans was seen taking jumpshots after practice. Monty Williams on […]

  • Moleskin Moments: Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans 12.14

    The Golden State Warriors have been red-hot, led by Stephen Curry, who has been on video game mode for what feels like an eternity. With the New Orleans Pelicans short Anthony Davis, this wasn’t expected to be a close game, despite the recent impressive win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But the Pelicans played a good […]

  • Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Golden State Warriors (12.4)

    The New Orleans Pelicans were hoping to ride some momentum from their victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Tuesday. That didn’t happen, as the Pelicans lost 112-85. Even though the Pelicans played relatively well throughout the first quarter, they still gave up too many open jumpers throughout the opening period, and once they […]

  • Piecing Together the Pelicans Rotation Without Gordon

    Eric Gordon is out indefinitely with a torn labrum. Depending on whether he needs surgery or not, Gordon could miss two weeks, or the majority of the season. He has started all 12 games this season, averaging 9.5 points per game on 39.8% shooting from the field, 34.1% from beyond the arc, and 1.2 steals […]

  • Gordon Out Indefinitely With Torn Labrum

    Eric Gordon is out with a torn labrum that he suffered in the New Orleans Pelicans’ win Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. The injury was discovered after Gordon had an MRI earlier this week. The team said “Gordon will undergo further evaluation throughout this week by the team’s medical staff to determine the best […]

  • Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Sacramento Kings 11.18

    Monday night’s heartbreaker is the kind of loss that, as a fan, you have nightmares about. The kind of game you overthink about the implications of despite the fact that it’s only November. So coming into Sacramento to play the Kings on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pelicans were hoping to bounce back. […]

  • Moleskin Moments: Cavaliers vs. Pelicans, Meat Pies and Cheese Fries

    Bourbon Street Shots hosted our first watch party of the season at Tracey’s. Tracey’s is a great sponsor and a better po-boy shop/bar (many years ago, they were one of my first po-boys, and on the same street where I used to play basketball.) I walked into the game at halftime, emulating the casual fan […]

  • Notes from Underground: Practice 11.6

    They were working on Eric Gordon’s baseline three point shot throughout the practice, he was looking good. Didn’t miss until I made a comment. Tyreke Evans’ was the last guy at practice, working on catch and shoots from three point and mid-range shots as well. Balance will be key with his jumpshot. He was definitely […]

  • Moleskin Moments: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Charlotte Hornets

    So at this rate, the New Orleans Pelicans are asking a lot of me, based on the analytical stat of them being 1-0 when I attend their games. Playing against Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, or Bobnets (the other rendition of that gimmick probably sounds too much like a curse/slur), the Pelicans were hoping to pick up a […]

  • Chris Romaguera’s Season Opener

    ((As part of our constant change here at Bourbon Street Shots, we’ve added new writers we spent the summer recruiting, though that’s fancier sounding that it actually was. You’ve already gotten an article from Graham this summer, and he’ll have more up soon. Today, I’m pleased to reintroduce you to Chris Romaguera. I’ve included a […]
