  • In the NO Pod Ep 291: Pre-season take-aways and Rondo’s Injury

    Hey look, the Pelicans are down 2 starters to begin the season. One day, they’ll just be used to this, I guess. We talk a lot about the pre-season. Who will finish games, are Boogie and Davis better staggered or not. What does Rondo being gone mean for the PG position. We cover a lot! […]

  • Pelicans Scoop: Free Agency Addition

    The New Orleans Pelicans are on the eve of free agency. Jrue Holiday will be meeting with the team first thing he can at 12:01 am Saturday, does that change our writers’ minds on him returning to the team? Will the Pelicans be active in free agency? And who will they target? We’ve got answers […]

  • In the NO Ep. 286: Free Agency Everything

    Michael and I break down the options this off-season, ranging from Lowry to the Holidays to Rubio and Beverly.

LOTS of stuff! […]

  • In the NO Ep 285: 2nd Round Live starring Frank Jackson!

    Mike and I kick off our podcast as the second round starts, and the Pelicans swift strike there throw us off a bit. But we recover, talk lots of Frank Jackson, why the Pels targeted him, why they moved Tim Frazier, and hang on hoping for a second guy to fall to the team that […]

  • In the NO Pod Ep 284: MegaPod on Jrue, Off-season and the Draft

    Two full hours of Pelicans, my friends. We talk the myriad of options this off-season, including Jrue leaving or staying, which is better, Kyle Lowry, Chris Paul, moving Asik for something, Allen Crabbe, Loul Deng, and if Jrue is actually a needle mover in the first place. We also break down the guys we like […]

  • In the NO Ep 283: Four percent chance at amazing

    Four percent chance. It’s amazing how much of an impact a 4% lottery ticket could have on this team. Michael and I spend most of the pod talking about the options the team has if they land one of the top picks in the draft. We talk Fultz, Ball, Butler, George, Lillard, and several other […]

  • In the NO Pod Ep. 279: Ugly Games, but is there progress?

    Though we’re still trying to wash the bad taste out of our mouths from that Utah game, Mike and I take a step back and review the last 4 games. We see good, bad, progress, and some major struggles getting penetration. We bag Jrue, defend Jrue, say bad things about Boogie, argue about the team […]

  • In the NO Pod Ep 278: Jrue, y u so bad?

    Michael and I get together after the team went 0-3 and are surprising upbeat. At least I feel like it’s surprising. We do want to know what the hell is going on with Jrue, the other perimeter players, and Cousins less-than-perfect conditioning though. Then we talk some off-season stuff, how AD’s looked, and if the […]

  • In the NO Ep. 277: Euphoria Letdown

    Well, that high didn’t last for long, did it? Michael and I talk about the Rockets game. A bunch.
