Season in Review: Quincy Pondexter
A Summary Quincy Pondexter is one of 4 players on the Pelicans who is under contract beyond next season (the other 3 being Evans, Holiday, and soon to be Davis). He was brought in for his second stint in New Orleans on January 12th, 2015 in a 5-player trade that sent out Austin Rivers to […]

New Orleans Pelicans Season in Review: Anthony Davis
I couldn’t figure out where to start this article – for as much of the individual brilliance that I’ve witnessed from Anthony Davis over the past few years, writing about how amazing he is feels like trying to prove gravity. Everyone already knows it exists, and everyone knows that Anthony Davis is on a trajectory that most […]

In the NO Podcast EP 217: The Wrap
Michael and I talk Game 3 and Game 4. Well, mostly Game 3 and who was to blame. Was it Monty? Then we talk about who should come back, who the Pelicans could and should target. We talk Eric Gordon and his option, Davis and his extension, and Monty Williams and whether he should return. […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 216: Warriors in the Blender
We talk over game 2, addressing some bad play by Anderson and Ajinca, Jrue’s injury, and Anthony Davis playing 45 minutes and if that was a mistake. All that, plus Tyreke Evans playing hurt, Gordon being an amazing shooter, Cole being weird, and our predictions for game 3. Enjoy the Podcast! Want it on Itunes? […]

The Key to Beating the Dubs, Part One: Offense
The New Orleans Pelicans made the playoffs for many reasons (and not all of them are named Anthony Davis). One of the main reasons is that they had a top-10 offense for most of the year, finishing with an offensive rating of 108.2, good for 8th in the league. The Pelicans offense rated just behind […]

Red Out, Pelicans In
The biggest games in Pelicans franchise history are (in very specific order): Pierre’s post beak surgery game, the first ever Pelicans game, tonight, then tonight again. It’s important the Pelicans make the playoffs in 2015. But it’s more important that New Orleans shows up early to see what happens in person. There’s two games tonight, […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 213: All the Marbles
One game. San Antonio. New Orleans. At home. For. All. The. Marbles. Unless the Pelicans win, in which case there are more marbles, and Golden State will come and try to take them from us. Jerks. We talk San Antonio, a little bit about the team and this really fun playoff race. Enjoy the Podcast! […]

Game On: Pelicans @ Grizzlies
It’s time to see if the Pelicans can keep their momentum. After edging out a tight one against the Warriors, they get to take on the Grizzlies tonight, an opponent who they have been very good against the past couple years. The one thing you should note, however, is though the Grizzlies are frequently being […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 212: Turtle Race
Michael and I recap the 2-1 week, dwell on Non-MVP Anthony Davis, enjoy Asik’s game against DeMarcus Cousins, and then, somehow, both have different reasons why the Pelicans lost the Portland game – from Anderson being used incorrectly to Eric Gordon not being the answer to Quincy not getting enough burn. Then we answer a […]

The Pelicans beat the Lakers
For the first quarter, you had to wonder if the Pelicans were going to bother playing hard in this one. Their offense was clicking – which can be a recipe for them to not try so hard on defense. And in the first, they definitely weren’t trying. To give you an idea of the sort […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 211: Pelicans have to Win Out?
We review the last three games, including the heart-breaker in Houston that could have been. We think about Cousins as a Pelican (briefly) and then try to figure out what record the Pelicans need to make the playoffs. Then we make bold predictions for the upcoming week! Oh, and someone should find Westbrook and sweep […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 210: Tired of Injuries, lets talk Rainbows
I wish we could talk about Unicorns and Rainbows. Because, I am sooooo tired of talking about injuries. So guess what happened! The team had more injuries! Frustrating! Besides just the general rants about that, Michael and I also talk about what the team has accomplished this season, what they should be proud of, and whether […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 209: Playoff Dogfight
It may be stupid, but Michael and I can’t help talking about the fight for the playoffs. We talk the games against Denver and Brooklyn, but also talk streaking Utah, the Serge Ibaka injury, the three guards the Pels have, and even talk a little about potential playoff matchups. Getting ahead of ourselves? Yes! So […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 208: Davis going Nova
A 3-1 week and another injury to boot! That’s Pelicans Basketball! Like Davis, Michael and I shake off Tyreke’s injury and tear into all we saw these last few games. And then, once again, we get sucked into talking what it would take for this team to make the Playoffs. We try to come up […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 207: Reserves for the Win
Michael and I talk about this run of good play without the big stars and what it means. Do the Pelicans now have an 11-man deep bench? Should we expect the team to explode as they feed stars back into it? Where does Ajinca, Babbitt, Anderson and Cunningham all fit next to Asik and Davis […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 206: Injury Bug strikes again
Michael and I have a lot to cover since the last podcast. An injury to Jrue Holiday, Norris Cole, an injury to Anthony Davis, a 2-1 set of games, an injury to Ryan Anderson, Tyreke Evans being up and down, a death blow to playoff hopes, a team with a real, possible, 9-man rotation, and […]

In the NO Podcast EP 204: Pelican surge comes crashing down
Michael and I stand, once again, aghast and how often injuries derail this team. Seriously. It’s hard to build momentum with injury issues like these. We talk the excellent win in OKC, I try to talk Michael off a cliff, we talk Toney Douglas and probably Jimmer’s exile, and we guess at the final game […]
