Michael and I wrap up our era hosting the Pod by going into the off-season.  How much to offer for DeMarcus, can the Pels land Paul George?  Can they go after a big free agent?  What is Rondo worth, and what can be offered to him?  Will the Pelicans be better next year? Want it […]

Michael and I talk briefly about the Spurs game, and then give a lot of time to Portland! We talk about weaknesses, strengths, X-Factors, defensive schemes, and best players on the court. I ask three burning questions about hiding on Rondo, the all important turnover battle, and baiting the Pels into three point shooting. And […]

Michael and I talk about the Golden State win and handicap what is left for the playoff battle. Good news: The Pels control their destiny. Bad news, two losses and they could still be out entirely. Sheesh. We also spend a lot of time handicapping the teams the Pelicans could face in the first round […]

The war continues in the Western Conference.  Will the Pelicans prevail?  If so, where will they land?  And will it make any difference, since Mike is pessimistic about their chances?  Listen to this podcast, and curse his name and basketball opinions forever.

Michael and I cover the 8 games since the last pod, picking the games we enjoyed the most – and the one that disgusted us the most.  Yeah, Houston.  Everyone can’t stand Houston. We talk Frank Jackson out for the year, Diallo playing well, who the best matchups will be for this team, and what […]

Michael and I spend some time glowing about Jrue’s transformation. Then we talk what Mirotic brings to the table, which Pelican is likely to fall off, and what is Diallo, really? We also hit up the coming 4 games, and worry about how insane the Western Conference playoff race is. Want it on Itunes? Direct […]

Michael and I break down the Pelicans’ 6 game winning streak. We dwell on Davis, Mirotic’s addition, and whether Jrue is properly paid for his production. Then we handicap the Western Conference playoff picture, giggle some more over Davis going nuts, and then cover the upcoming games and schedule. Including that awful 5 games in […]

Michael and I talk about the Pelicans-Bulls trade for Mirotic – and then the Dante one for entirely too long, orobably because I’m so happy to see it happen.  We then address who in New Orleans is most impacted so far by Boogie’s injury, and wonder at Mirotic’s future with the team.  Then we make […]

Michael and I talk the stretch of games leading up to Boogie’s Injury, the impact to the team for this year, the playoff chase, and the franchise going forward. With the trade deadline looming, we also looked at what Dell Demps will do to try to keep the team afloat, what teams are sellers, and […]

Michael declares he’s going to do the entire podcast talking positively about Pelicans.  He doesn’t pitch a perfect game, but comes close, at least. We talk Rondo and his fluctuating role and minutes, is Jrue an All-Star, who is the team Alpha Dog, and we cover the games of the 3-1 week.  Look, a winning […]

Michael and I tear up Boogie. Then we tear him up some more. Then we tear up Rondo. Then we tear up AD. I guess the Pelicans-Timberwolves game affected us strongly. We talk about trades, and what the team should target, and then we look ahead at a very key stretch for the team. If […]

Michael and I talk about the Pelicans and their missing identity at the end of games, including in those bad losses in New Orleans.  On the way, we talk about things that surprised us so far this season, I grumble about Rondo, and we give Moore some love.  We look ahead to next week, of […]

Mike and I address the Pelicans’ frustrating losses and how it seems this team beats itself more than the other team does. I wonder at why New Orleans fans are so upset about a 15-15 team when the expectation going into the season was a .500 team, and then we talk Boogie and his issues […]

It was a gut punch week for the New Orleans Pelicans, but the win against Portland was pretty sweet nonetheless. Michael and I speculate about Davis’ injury, what the team should do on the trade market or not depending on him being out, and guess at a timeline. Then we also talk Rondo’s contributions, Omer […]

In the NO returns and the New Orleans Pelicans are above .500 and just completed a 3-1 week! Michael and I talk about a few of the games, including the Raptors, Warriors, and Spurs, addressing issues we see like the interior defense, how Rondo has played, and who our favorite Pelican to watch is. We […]

Michael and I touch on a bunch of subjects, including trading for a big man, turnovers, improving offensive play, Rondo being back, and an upcoming slate of tough games. Will the Pelicans continue to play winning basketball? Enjoy! Want it on Itunes? Direct download? RSS Feed? Like the Show or the Blog? Follow @BourbonStShots

Michael and I spend some time talking about how awful the players have been on this team beyond the twin towers and how it’s forcing the team to play them a lot of minutes. We also talk about how bad the team is even with just one player is on, I rant about the Prevent […]

A winning week brings the New Orleans Pelicans to .500 for the first time in . . . ever I think. Pretty sure it’s never happened before. In basketball. We talk Sacramento and that awful first half, whether Cleveland was giving a damn, and what could have been if Davis didn’t get hurt in that […]
