In the NO Podcast Ep 247: 59 and Trade Deadline wrap-up
I’m joined by Nick Lewellen to talk about Anthony Davis’ 59 point monster and my frustration that it wasn’t more. We also talk about the Trade Deadline – the deals that were and weren’t made, Jrue Holiday’s strong play, Anthony Davis and the All NBA team, the standings, and whether stockpiling tons of draft picks […]

Trade Machine Madness: Jrue Holiday Edition
So as the trade deadline comes our way, rumors and speculation on possible trades have been plentiful for the New Orleans Pelicans. After analyzing what Chad Ford’s Detroit Piston trade would do for the Pelicans last week, I decided to analyze a couple of trades. But with biases often prevalent in these trades (see: Amin […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 246: Western Conference Trade Targets

In the NO Podcast Ep. 245: Eastern Conference Trade Targets

In the NO Podcast Ep 244: Done with Gentry?
Jake Madison joins me as we give a brief recap of all the games that have happened since the last pod – including the four game losing streak – and then I lay into Gentry. Jake tries to point out I may be being unreasonable. What do you think? Then we set things up for […]

Jrue Holiday Ends the Pelicans’ January with a Bang
Almost 3 weeks ago the Pelicans’ season looked over. At 11-26 following a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, it seemed the Pelicans were destined to “blow it up” and fight for a high draft pick rather than post season play. Since that game the Pelicans have gone 7-2, with with a chance to make it […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 243: One Shining Moment
Graham McQueen joins me this week to talk another winning week for the Pelicans! That’s two winning weeks now! Despite our usual trashing of members of the Pelicans team, we do pick out one shining moment from each of the five games we cover. One of those shining moments may or may not have been […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 242: Can the Pels be bad OR good enough?
Nick Lewellen joins me as we recap the week – a winning week(!) – and show ourselves to be terribly conflicted by talking down most of the team while doing so somehow. Sheesh. Then we play “20-20 Hindsight”, “Which team is worse”, and “Stop me when you hear a player you wouldn’t trade Eric Gordon […]

In the NO Wrathcast: Ep 241
Shamit Dua joins me in a wrathcast as we tear apart what happened in that Lakers game. We talk how bad the team has been defensively, the inexplicable line-ups, and fail utterly in coming up with reasons why Gentry would play those particular line-ups. Enjoy the podcast! Want it on Itunes? Direct download? RSS Feed? […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 240: Blow it up?
Chris Trew of Trew to the Game (and our own BSS) joins me to talk about an 0-3 week that pushes this team further and further from respectability. We then talk about whom Chris likes to heckle the most, who talks trash the most, and come to realize Chris is a big softie. We also […]

Pelicans lose Davis, and then a sloppy, sloppy game
The last meaningful shot the Pelicans took was a fitting epitaph for the game. With the Pelicans down three, Gordon received the ball in the corner with space to shoot. He pump-faked, realized he still had room, leaned back, and vomited a three pointer that missed the rim by five feet. It wasn’t blocked […]

New Orleans Pelicans v Dallas Mavericks
Tonight, the New Orleans Pelicans (11-22) on (I hate) the Dallas Mavericks (20-15) at the Smoothie King Center. This is the second of the away-home pair to close the season series, which is 2-1 at the moment, in favor of the Pelicans. The game is at 7:00 pm CT (UTC -6) and is on Fox […]

In the NO Podcast Ep 239: Middle of the Road?
Signs are pointing towards the team getting back to being a middle of the pack sort of squad. Jason Calmes and I talk about whether that is real or fake – if we think the team will continue to improve, and totally avoid talking tank. Sorry tankers! We address Tyreke’s less than stellar play, a […]

New Orleans Pelicans @ Dallas Mavericks
Tonight, the New Orleans Pelicans (10-22) on (I hate) the Dallas Mavericks (19-14) in Dallas. This is the first of the away-home pair to close the season series, which is 1-1 at the moment. The game is at 7:30 pm CT (UTC -6) and is on Fox Sports New Orleans and the Pelicans Radio Network, […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 238: Two and Two and a goodbye
Michael and I recap a week in which the Pelicans have some crazy highs and lows – and actually get to play their preferred five for a few minutes. Yay. Then – we predict the rest of the year as Michael says goodbye to the pod after 238 episodes. Yeah. Don’t have much else to […]

New Orleans Pelicans @ Phoenix Suns
The New Orleans Pelicans (7-18) look to take the season series against the Phoenix Suns (11-16) tonight in Phoenix, leaving just one game against them and on this road trip. The Pelicans are coming off a win against the short-handed Jazz, while the Suns are coming off a pair of road losses to (I hate) […]

In the NO Podcast Ep. 237: Is it time for the Tank?
In a lot of respects the Boston loss (and its aftermath) crystalized just how bad this team has been over the course of the season for many fans. So Michael and I talk fallout – trades, what we want this team to do, what we think they will do, what is a decent outcome if […]
-
In the NO Podcast Ep. 236: Mini Pod
Michael and I rip of a smallish podcast for you – since my inability to record properly destroyed the longer one we put together. Bleh. Anyways – we talk Asik return, Norris Cole, “are our guards any good?” and how Michael is really down on the crew right now. We also predict the upcoming week […]
-
In the NO Ep 235: Terrible on the Road
Michael and I continue to be flummoxed by some of the trends for this team – including just how bad they are on the road. We also play “what is more disappointing?”, “Rap lyric vs Shakespeare”, “Which Pelicans not named Davis could be the third best player on a good team?”, “Who on the Rockets […]

In the NO Ep 234: Look! Wins!
Michael and I are agog over the two wins. When there are so few of them, they become just so, so precious. We talk Anthony Davis’ sudden surge in energy, Ish Smith playing well, Anderson playing great, and the imminent return of Tyreke Evans. We also address Asik and Ajinca’s minutes, Holiday’s poor play and […]
