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. […]

An Easy Way to Improve the Offense
Did you watch the video of the Houston Rockets bench laughing at Andre Roberson missing free throws? I did and I laughed. But then I was hit with a fear…what if this was the New Orleans Pelicans? Think about it for a second. The Pelicans have two bigs in Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins that […]

Anthony Davis made healthy progress during the 2016-17 season
When incredible talent and radical injury misfortune intersect as precisely as they have in the career of Anthony Davis, the organization overseeing it all is bound to get swept up in a bit of what you might call “back-and-forth”. The Pelicans’ success during Davis’s career (longer than you might think at this point) has been […]

Jrue Holiday Owes Nothing to the New Orleans Pelicans
I’m going to be coming in like a hot take, but Jrue Holiday owes nothing to the New Orleans Pelicans. You know what this is about and, as I wrote earlier in the week regarding the medical staff, this also makes me a bit uncomfortable. It’s about him take a leave of absence to care […]

I Want To Talk About the Pelicans’ Medical Staff
I want to talk about the medical staff of the New Orleans Pelicans. But the problem is I don’t know how. It’s weird and slightly uncomfortable. The Pelicans medical staff has a negative reputation. That’s largely due to the 2015-2016 season having 351 games lost to injury–most in the league. Years of seeing Anthony Davis […]

Lemonade
I know the New Orleans Pelicans have not performed the way we all hoped, and maybe it’s all going to hell . . . probably not, but maybe. Whatever. Don’t care. Today, I’m making lemonade. Pelicans Davis. He’s one of the best in the League and should remain so for a while. They are adding […]

The Specifics of a Jrue Holiday Max Contract
With the regular season effectively over for the New Orleans Pelicans all eyes turn towards the offseason. And any discussion about the offseason starts with free agent guard Jrue Holiday. While there are plenty of big name point guards available in free agency this year pretty much all are expected to resign with their current […]

In the NO Pod Ep 282: Optimism Warranted?
The Pelicans have been eliminated from the playoffs, but there’s still a lot to talk about! Michael and I cover the games that have happened since the last pod and bring up whether we should be optimistic or not due to the results. We talk about Boogie as a defensive force (or not) and look […]

The Jrue Holiday Decision
Almost immediately after the New Orleans Pelicans traded for DeMarcus Cousins there was talk of the Pelicans finally having their own “Big 3.” Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Jrue Holiday. And while Cousins and Davis have shown why they are All-Stars, Jrue Holiday hasn’t played as well as expected. And with a massive payday looming this […]

Pelicans Scoop: Let’s Boogie!
Despite the slim playoff chances the New Orleans Pelicans have been improving. Some of our writers weigh in on what’s been happening with the team. Agree or disagree with us? Let us know on twitter @bourbonstshots! 1) The Pelicans are now 7-7 since the DeMarcus Cousins trade and 6-2 over their last eight games. How […]

I’ll Die on Boogie Hill
The New Orleans Pelicans acquired DeMarcus Cousins in a trade, and now I’ve had some time to think about it. There’s been a good deal of flap about the trade just because of its nature, but the team’s up-and-down record since then along with how much Cousins played in those wins has added flappiness to […]

What the Offensive Gelling Looks Like
The New Orleans Pelicans are 5-1 over their last six games, and look much better compared to where they were right after the trade for DeMarcus Cousins. A lot of that has to do with the offense, and the Pelicans’ newest All-Star big man starting to gel. And the addition of “Michael” “Instant Grits” Jordan […]

Let the Tank Crash: Root for Wins
As the New Orleans Pelicans enter the final 12 games of the season they remain in the weird limbo of the NBA. Outside of the playoffs (currently 4.5 games back of the 8th seed) and not bad enough to have a realistic shot at a top 3 pick (the first round pick they owe Sacramento […]

In the NO Pod Ep. 281: King Solomon and the Boogie
No way not to spend lots of this pod without talking about King Solomon, Michael Jordan Crawford, and, oh yeah, E’twaun Moore. We talk about their production, how the team plays when Boogie steps off the court, and then spend a lot of time talking Boogie in general and if he’s good or bad for […]

In the NO Pod Ep. 280: Gentry, Casspi, and the Hornets game
Michael and I talk about the Hornets game and things we liked and didn’t like. We spend some more time talking about Gentry – and then even more time on what coaches do, due to the excellent Pelicast. Then we talk about Boogie Extensions and off-season plans. Last, we talk about the upcoming games and […]

Free Ideas to Decorate the Smoothie King Center
When I was a kid I re-arranged the furniture in my room at least once a month. Later my mom revealed that her mom did the same thing and so every time I spent a Sunday afternoon pushing my bed to the other side of the room or switching the bookshelf with the dresser, it […]
