Michael and I get together to set the table for an absolutely vital off-season for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Michael and I are joined in our 3rd and final Post-Mortum podcast, first by Mason Ginsberg – whom I challenge on his number one player in his Player Rankings, and then Jason Calmes comes on to talk about the health of the Hornets as a business and what they are doing in the off-season to […]

Hornets lose to Mavericks and lock in 5th worst record in the league
27-55. Not the worst record the Hornets have ever had. Nothing to be happy about either. The team was gutted by injuries, and it showed tonight as the Hornets weren’t even able to do what they’d been good at all season on offense – shooting – and basically lived on a steady diet of Gordon […]

Final Game: Hornets @ Mavericks
The season has boiled down to a nearly(yes, nearly. see bottom of post for lottery placement implications) meaningless game between two teams that aren’t going anywhere. It’s not really a fantastic way to say goodbye to the brand so many of us have happily followed, but in a lot of ways, it’s the best way […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 129: The Gordon-Monty Eruption
Michael and I recap the Jazz and Phoenix games, including getting Michael’s eyewitness account of the shouting match between Monty Williams and Eric Gordon on the sidelines in Utah. Ugly.

Michael and I are joined by Michael Pellissier to talk about Eric Gordon, his production this season, and what the team needs to put around him.

In the NO Podcast Episode 127: Gerry V, the tournament and turning over the Roster
Gerry V joins Michael and I to talk about the team’s play over this last homestand, whether there will be more than just three or four hold-overs still on the roster next year, and if he’d prefer to get a lottery pick or a veteran. Then we talk about CP3 eviscerating Vasquez, Davis getting the […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 126: Winning Basketball?
Michael and I talk about a winning week of basketball! And somehow, Michael manages not to drown in his own tears. Then, we talk the upcoming games, somehow talk about obscure euro’s who are out of the league, wonder at Demps ability to pull in usuable big men, and preview Nuggets and Clippers. Oh, and […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 125: Draft Prospects, Tiers, and Anthony Davis
Michael and I recap the three losses this week, focusing, as usual, on Davis, Gordon, Vasquez, and Ryan Anderson’s virus-caused yack. Okay, not that last part. Then, we take a great listener question and start talking the Draft! McLemore, Smart, Porter, Noel – and boy does Michael say something silly about Noel. Enjoy the Podcast! […]

Hornets lose lead at end. Again.
For the last non-hail-mary possessions of the game, the Hornets went Gordon Iso. Because, you know, that’s worked all year. Well, it worked in one game. So let’s keep doing it!

Game On: Hornets @ Timberwolves
The Hornets travel to Minnesota to take on the one team in the West who are playing worse than they are. Will it be a win?
-
Nets punish Hornets on glass
I said in the pregame that the Nets were a team that got their winning margins by crashing the glass and getting fouled while doing so. Tonight, the Nets rebounded more than 40% of their misses – which is 10% more than even they usually manage. On the other end, they kept the Hornets offensive […]

Game On: Hornets @ Nets
The Hornets roll into Brooklyn to catch the Nets on the second night of a back to back. Will that help the Hornets to victory?
