Game On: Pelicans @ Knicks
It’s a Noon Eastern game! In the past, that has meant losing, losing, losing! So . . . maybe this messed up team can kick the habit? It’s possible, right? It’s the Knicks! Maybe. At this point, I’m not going to bet on the team until one capable guard comes off the injury list. Ish […]

Raptors shred Pelicans
In a repeat of the Atlanta game, the Pelicans were able to lead the game for most of the first half, and then couldn’t handle the adjustments and renewed focus of a team with simply more talent than they could field. The turnovers that killed the Raptors in the first half dried up, the Pelicans […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Raptors
We’re finally coming to the point in the season where you can actually draw a few conclusions from a teams record and performance. Well, except for the Pelicans, since we haven’t actually seen half of their projected key players on the court together. The Raptors, on the other hand, have played a good cross section […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 232: Looking for Bright Spots
Michael and I spend the first couple minutes of the podcast talking about bright spots! And if you know how long these things typically go . . . We also talk Tanking, AD being damn good, the disaster that is our backcourt, and make predictions for the upcoming games. Enjoy the podcast! Want it on […]

Pelicans continue to lose
I’m going to boil the Pelicans issues right now to a single issue. It’s far from the only issue, but for now I feel it is the one that is the biggest problem: Their guard play isn’t cutting it. You can point go Eric Gordon and his pretty decent offensive numbers. But in my book, he’s […]

Game On Pelicans @ Mavericks: Time to get real
Alright. We’ve been nice up to this point. We’ve looked at the upside, the possibilities, the fact this is a new system. We’ve bemoaned the injuries. And now I’m done with that. Give me a god damned win. Seriously. A win. I waited through a 3-year rebuild for what was supposed to be this season. The […]

Game On: Hawks @ Pelicans
A potential 0-5. Holy crap. Really bad teams go 0-5. This team isn’t Philly or LA, right? At least it’s the NBA, where 5 game win streaks are as common as 5 game losing streaks. You just need a soft patch of schedule and some injury luck. The Pelicans are going to try, once again, to […]

In the NO Podcast EP. 231: Real Games . . . Occur
Michael and I talk about the three L’s and rate how bad/good they were – along with what good things we did see in those games. That part wasn’t very long. Then, Michael profanes Larry Bird, we talk about injury news, wonder at Davis’ demeanor and preview the upcoming week. Enjoy the podcast! Want it […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 230: The Grand Adventure Begins
The Journey to the MVP begins this week for Anthony Davis against the Defending Champs. How will it turn out? Michael and I talk what we saw this pre-season, who we did and didn’t like, talk about the REAL impact from all the injuries to the Win-Loss record, and play 2nd Best and Ryan Guesses […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 229: Western Conference Preview 2 – Pelicans Landing
Michael and I walk through the decent teams in the Western Conference – including where we feel the Pelicans are most likely to land.

In the NO Podcast Ep. 228: Injuries and Western Conference Preview
Friggin hell, I’m sick of injuries. Mike and I talk injuries, talk Nate Robinson, Bo McCaleb, and the rest of the roster hopefuls, and then pick the guys we want to see make the team. Then we talk the bottom of the Western Conference – putting teams into the Garbage and “Meh” categories. The Lakers […]

Entire Pelicans team has elective Surgery
Yes, this is old, and satire, but in light of all the injuries, I thought it might be apropos.

Michael and I spend the first part of the podcast talking about Asik and Ajinca’s injuries and the impact, and then we get into previewing the Eastern Conference! We group the teams into tiers, and I quickly find I hate the Eastern Conference a lot more than Michael does. Part 2 will follow this weekend. […]

Mining the Numbers: Pumping the Brakes on Davis
Alright guys, it’s time for a reality check. I know it’s hot and sexy to see boundless potential for the upcoming season, and I’ve heard a lot of reasons why: Alvin Gentry is going to implement a system that turns Eric Gordon into Eric Gordon, and Darren Erman will make Omer Asik into Dikembe freakin’ Motumbo! […]

Mining the Numbers: Quincy, Cole and Cunningham
Friggin’ Utah. They are always trying to crap all over our parade. First, they aren’t Jazzy. Second, Deron Williams never was, at any point, under any condition, AT ANY TIME, better than Chris Paul. EVER. Now, once again, they have to get all uppity and try to one-up us again. “19-10 in the last 29!!!” […]

Mining the Numbers: The Dark Side of Ryan Anderson
I love me some threes. LOVE Them. It’s partly why I hate the Warriors, because all the threes belong to them. It follows then that I’d love Ryan Anderson . . . and I do. When he was signed for a criminal 8mil per, despite being a restricted free agent, I was a bit like this guy […]
