In the NO Pod Ep 270: With Jrue comes Wins

What Everybody is Saying and Nobody is Talking About
A couple of wins and now everybody is talking playoffs. Another injury or two and a losing streak and everybody will be talking who to take in the top 3. That’s how fickle it is right now, as the Pelicans have dug themselves a sizable hole, but have also looked like a sure-fire playoff team […]

In the NO Pod Ep. 269: The Return of the Jrue
Michael and I get to do a pod after a win!!! So instead of being 100% gloomy, we get to be 75% gloomy! That’s not entirely true, as we get to talk Jrue returning and what that means, what Tyreke could mean to the team, and what is the missing piece for the squad. Enjoy! […]

What Everybody is Saying and Nobody is Talking About
Everybody was saying that Hillary was a shoe-in just a week ago, but nobody was talking about how similar polls had projected Hillary to beat Bernie in some of the key states, and she ended up losing states like Michigan despite what the “projections” said. But guess what? Everybody started saying that as soon as […]

What Everybody is Saying and Nobody is Talking About
Everybody was saying that last week’s piece would be a one-off. That I was just going to be able to do it once, and after that I would fade back into the oblivion. But what nobody was talking about was how determined I am to show how stupid it is to talk in these extremes, […]

In the NO Pod: Ep 268
Michael and I talk about the first three games of the season. We try to find happy things to talk about other than Frazier and Davis . . . and fail. We pretty much can’t get away from the badness, whether it’s Hill, Galloway, Ajinca, Hield, Asik, Jones, even Stephenson. It’s bad. But I do […]

What Everyone is Saying and Nobody is Talking About
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. The recent trend amongst NBA experts, podcasters, bloggers, and the like is to inform us all of what everyone is saying, and nobody is talking about. And then, they so cleverly say the opposite of what everyone else is saying and begin to talk about what nobody else […]

Michael and I stand agog at what we saw from Anthony Davis in the season opener. We talk about what questions we had about him we saw laid to rest in this game, what questions we still have, and then try to pick a Non-AD MVP. We also pick LVP, talk about Lance a lot, […]

Preparing For the Next NBA Trend
Larry Bird, easily considered the best shooter of his generation, hit 649 three-pointers in his career. Steph Curry hit 688 in his last two regular seasons. Larry Bird shot 37.6% from behind the arc over the course of his career. That would have placed him 54th last season, right below Portland Trailblazers 7-foot center Meyers […]

Michael and I feast on the nuggets of information that have trickled out of Media day recently.

How the Pelicans Can Unearth a Gem in the Second Round
While most eyes will be on the lottery on May 17th, and where the Pelicans first round pick will end up, the Pelicans would be wise to focus on their two second-round picks that will fall somewhere between 38 and 40, depending on tonight’s results and coin flips. While a large percentage of second round […]

Pelicans Scoop: Another Trade Deadline Letdown
Hundreds, nay thousands, of trade machine proposals were thrown around the interwebs by Pelicans fan, yet nobody got it right. Jarnell Stokes for a protected 2nd round pick was not the move Pelicans fans were hoping for. Some wanted a guy who could help them win now, others wanted a young prospect, and most wanted […]

The Last Thing This Team Needs is a Ryan Anderson Replacement
When you see the deals that people throw around for Ryan Anderson, there always seems to be a Ryan Anderson-lite coming back to the Pelicans in return. First it was Markieff Morris, then Montiejunas, or Patrick Patterson, or Ersan Ilysova, etc. Why?? The Pelicans play in the Smoothie King Center but they need a ton […]

The Guy Dell Demps Needs To Target Next in Free Agency
Yes, I made a case for Kevin Durant months ago. Those days are over. If you go back and read that article again, you will see that a huge part of the selling point that Dell would have to make to KD was that the Pelicans were a team trending upwards. This year destroyed all […]
