The Pels didn't have their most successful week on the court, going 2-2. But those losses didn't matter because the Pelicans had already secured the 9th seed in the play-in tournament, allowing them to host the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night for a chance to advance. 

Raphael & Garrick Rattler return to talk about the upcoming play-in game, what making the play-in says about this team, and what they think the Pels' future holds.

With a Pelicans win over the Kings or a Lakers loss to the Suns tonight, the Pelicans will clinch a spot in the play-in tournament. Considering the way the Pelicans started the season 1-12 and have been without their best player for the entirety of the season, making the playoffs is a massive achievement for this team.

Raphael & Garrick Rattler return to talk about tonight's game as well as where the Pelicans can go, not only for the rest of this season, but moving forward.

Before we get to THAT GAME, we want to thank everyone who watches and listens to Pels Pod. We started the podcast around a year ago and we've had a blast a long the way. There's been ups and downs with the Pels, as usual, but it's been a great ride since we've been able to begin cultivating this community with you all.

That being said, last night the Pels came back from a 23-point deficit to defeat LeBron James and the Lakers at the Smoothie King Center and strengthen their grip on the 9th seed. We got Pelicans color commentator Antonio Daniels and @ImpatientBull himself, Chris Conner, here to talk about it.

Let's Go. Pels Pod.

In a season full of peaks and valleys, the Pels are hitting another peak at the perfect time of the season. The Pels have won two of their last three games...on the road...without Brandon Ingram. Guys like Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall have stepped up without guys like Ingram and Devonte Graham due to injury and the Pels have risen to the 9th playoff spot. Raph & Garrick Rattler are back again to talk about the (playoff-bound?) Pels.

The Pels continue to do Pels things. Losers of two straight entering the All-Star break, the Pels came out of the break white hot, winning four straight games, three in blowout fashion. However, this would inevitably take a turn as Brandon Ingram would miss the last four games with a hamstring injury, only to be followed by C.J. McCollum entering the NBA's health and safety protocol and missing the last two games. The Pels did manage to break their losing streak without B.I. & C.J. against the Rockets last night.

Garrick & Raphael Rattler return to talk about the last week for the Pels as well as where they can hope to go from here.

The Pels came out of the All-Star Break red hot, winning four straight with three of those victories coming by more than 25 points. The streak came to an end last night with a 138-130 overtime loss against the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic, but the Pels have been playing great basketball and are firmly back in the play-in race. Raph & Garrick Rattler return to break down your New Orleans Pelicans on this week's episode of Pels Pod.

The Pels entered the All-Star break with a record of 23-36, good for 3rd in the Southwest division and 12th in the Western Conference. While CJ McCollum has been lights out since coming to New Orleans via trade, the Pels have gone 1-4 with CJ in the lineup. The team has also yet to give an update on Zion Williamson's injury situation. Where do the Pels go from here? The Rattler Brothers are back to talk about the second half of the NBA season on this week's Pels Pod.

The Pelicans are winless since the arrival of CJ McCollum in New Orleans, but Saturday's 124-114 loss to the San Antonio Spurs showed exactly why the Pelicans traded for the former Portland Trailblazers sharpshooter.

McCollum scored 36 points on 15/24 shooting, as well as adding 11 rebounds to his box score. The Pels may have lost the game, but the vision is clear. Garrick and Raphael Rattler are back to discuss the past and future for your New Orleans Pelicans here on Pels Pod.

After starting the season 1-12, the New Orleans Pelicans improved their record to 21-32 with a 120-107 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night, moving them into 10th place in the NBA's Western Conference and giving them possession of the final spot in the Play-In tournament for the playoffs.

The week started off with a tough loss to the Darius Garland-less Cleveland Cavaliers but the Pels rattled off three straight wins over the Pistons, Nuggets, and Rockets. Garrick and Raphael Rattler are back to break down the week's Pelicans action here on Pels Pod.
