In this episode, Doug and Greg take a little break from the usual marketing discussion and talk about some other exciting things, basketball, and football. They are joined today by Scott Kushner. Scott is a leading expert on New Orleans sports and a columnist for The Times-Picayune. He is also the co-host of the Polk and Kush podcast, covering New Orleans' teams with a bend away from stats and bold takes.

Quotes

[04:09] - "This season is about connecting Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, Willie Green, and David Griffin and seeing how much potential there is. Before you can start saying where's the championship window, you want to see how all these things work together when they're all together. Cause we had just seen much of that in the first 10 games of the season." ~ Scott Kushner

[13:25] - "Whether or not the Pelicans will get incrementally better to fit that timeline is a question that no one can answer. But they have allowed themselves to say if this is the right group, they've got nothing but time to get it together, fail together in the playoffs, tweak what's right around the edges and then go out and try to win. And that is a rare thing." ~ Scott Kushner

[20:39] - "It doesn't do you much good if you aren't willing to use the value you have." ~ Scott Kushner
