In the NO Pod Ep. 279: Ugly Games, but is there progress?
March 08, 2017 03:54 - 1 hourThough we're still trying to wash the bad taste out of our mouths from that Utah game, Mike and I take a step back and review the last 4 games. We see good, bad, progress, and some major struggles getting penetration. We bag Jrue, defend Jrue, say bad things about Boogie, argue about the team having AD and Boogie hanging out on the perimeter, and talk about what we feel is the most pressing need for next season. Lots to talk about! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/a...
In the NO Pod Ep 278: Jrue, y u so bad?
February 27, 2017 05:07 - 55 minutesMichael and I get together after the team went 0-3 and are surprising upbeat. At least I feel like it's surprising. We do want to know what the hell is going on with Jrue, the other perimeter players, and Cousins less-than-perfect conditioning though. Then we talk some off-season stuff, how AD's looked, and if the team is still headed to the playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In the NO Ep. 277: Euphoria Letdown
February 24, 2017 06:02 - 1 hourWell, that high didn't last for long, did it? Michael and I talk about the Rockets game. A bunch. Then we talk about Jrue needing to be aggressive, the team fitting together, and more importantly, fitting with Alvin Gentry.

February 20, 2017 07:02 - 1 hourHoly crap. We're recording a pod, talking about that terrible Lay-up line - er - All-Star Game, and suddenly a blockbuster trade falls on us. Boogie and Casspi for Hield, Evans, Galloway, a 1st, and a 2nd. Holy crap. We talk about it. And what else the team may do. Holy crap. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the NO Podcast EP. 275: Little Letdowns
February 06, 2017 06:00 - 1 hourMichael and I talk about these little letdowns that keep spiraling into Pelicans defeats - and while Michael walks away more positive than expected, I end up a bit more negative. A bit of a change of pace for us, I think! We talk about the importance of the next 6 games to the trade deadline, and if we think Dell and crew are even moving on anything at all. We also talk about Tyreke's inability to finish with any finesse at all. Ridiculous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoi...
