  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • In the NO Podcast Ep 233: Total Eclipse

    Michael and I are clearly starting to lose our optimism. Well, I am. Michael still is holding out hope. Regardless, we try to keep it light, talking the good we are seeing, what Gordon’s role will be when healthy players come back, and the Turkish Klay Thompson. We preview the upcoming week, make bad predictions […]

  • 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 […]

  • Podcast: Ashley Burns, Uproxx writer/Orlando Magic fan

    On this week’s podcast I have Orlando Magic superfan and top notch funny guy sportswriter Ashley Burns. We discuss what he would trade for Anthony Davis, Elfrid Payton’s New Orleans roots, and how much he misses Ryan Anderson. It’s a quick and dirty 20 minutes – enjoy!

  • 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. We don’t really talk about Tyreke, because I’m so tired of injuries. Enjoy the podcast! Want it on Itunes? Direct download? RSS Feed? Like the Show or the Blog? Follow @BourbonStShots

  • 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 […]

  • In the NO Podcast Ep 226: Weird Defense and Davis is a God

  • In the NO Podcast Ep. 225: Eastern Conference Preview Part 1

    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. […]

  • In the NO Podcast Ep. 224: The Pelicans are back!

    Pelicans basketball is back! With a pre-season game in the books, the team roster essentially set, training camp well and truly rolling and the NBA ready to get started, we return as well! We talk Cole, Perkins and Seth leaving, and then handicap the trainee camp invitees. Then we get to the important stuff – […]

  • What if New Orleans Beat San Antonio in the 2008 Playoffs?

    It’s still a sore subject amongst hypothetical water coolers in New Orleans, so let’s put on our What If Spacesuits and dive into the outer space possibilities that the Pelicans Hornets defeated the Spurs in that dastardly Game 7. Now what? Ryan Schwan joins me for a trip down memory lane. Stream the podcast right here at Bourbon […]
