June 8, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap The Orlando Magic rookie wingman Courtney Lee had a clean look on a buzzer beating alley-oop lay-up to win Game 2 for his club, but he missed. It’s over and done with. The Lakers took Game 2 in overtime. Although it may have been the most dramatic play of [...]

June 6, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Spike Lee knows Kobe Bryant is doin’ work, but he’s not the only one. Lil’ Wayne clearly knows Kobe is doin’ work as he released a new song about the Black Mamba this week. Hell, it’s fairly obvious the way the Lakers dominated the Magic in Game 1 of [...]

June 5, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap What a blowout! Lakers 100, Magic 75. I realize most analysts will say “a loss is just one loss regardless of of many or how few points you lose by”, but in this case that’s B.S. This is the NBA Finals, not the first round of the playoffs. The [...]

June 4, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Orlando Magic All-star Forward Rashard Lewis was kind enough to answer a few questions for The Hoop Doctors, before one of his last team practices prior to tomorrow’s Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals. Rashard talked about everything from how to stop Kobe Bryant, to Jameer Nelson’s comeback [...]

May 29, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap As if their on court battles in the Eastern Conference Finals thus far weren’t enough to satisfy the wants and needs of every NBA fan, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic and Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers have also been battling it out for supremacy of the trick [...]

Skeet’s Yahoo basketball blog ‘Ball Don’t Lie’ yesterday, and I catch this video of a 7-year old autistic girl named Gina Marie Incandela singing the national anthem at an Orlando Magic game during their playoff series against the Boston Celtics. Talk about inspiration. This little [...]

May 28, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Some of you might remember a series I wrote called “The Nextology of Michael Jordan”. In the series I talked about the media hype machine, and that for some reason they always wanted to compare young rising stars to the G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan. Well when I saw this special [...]

May 27, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap After last night the Orlando Magic are on the brink of shocking the world. Can they close? Do they have that killer instinct necessary to put away King James and the Cavaliers who sported the best record in the NBA this season? My guess is that Lebron James isn’t [...]

May 26, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Last night the Denver Nuggets front line was flying high. Probably none of which was flying as high as Chris ‘Birdman’ Andersen however. The guy was doing what he usually does, but just better. He was dunking put backs, getting steals, blocking shots, and he even attempted a three [...]

May 25, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap I have to admit being more than a little surprised when the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals showed their grit and fought back from a large deficit to win the series opening game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
