December 29, 2010 – Allen Moll Everyone loves those entertaining halftime shows when either the mascot or professional dunkers bring out the trampolines and do their best impersonation of those Slamball dunkers. I get it, it’s entertainment at it’s best to see everyday people leaping just as high as the NBA players, even if they [...]

December 28, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Amateurs who closely border the line of professionalism with their NBA highlight mixtapes on YouTube are all the rage these days, not only on YouTube but also in the basketball blogosphere. In fact we have our own resident YouTube sensation at The Hoop Doctors with the addition of [...]

December 28, 2010 – Allen Moll To the average person, Mississippi State sophomore forward Renardo Sydney has been given way more chances to succeed at the collegiate level than most. Apparently the 6’10 and 270 lb one time prized recruit doesn’t agree as he was caught on national television having a knock-down, drag-out fistfight with teammate [...]

December 23, 2010 – The Hoop Doctors One of the things we here at The Hoop Doctors love best about the Holidays is the marquee matchups filled with drama and backstories that the NBA stages for Christmas Day. Although the NBA sets the schedule for the Christmas games before the season starts, you can always [...]

December 23, 2010 – R.S. De France With their recent struggles against mediocre opponents, the LA Lakers have shown the Miami Heat a blueprint of how to beat the Lakers on Christmas Day. The Lakers started their quest to a three-peat in strong fashion.  Even then, we were warned about their easy schedule that included [...]

December 22, 2010 – Kevin Burke Can I bother you for just second? I need you to stop what you’re doing and applaud those ladies from UConn. Last night they won their 89th consecutive game in a 93 – 62 route over #20 Florida State, which was their 53rd win of at least 30 points [...]
