Highlights

July 9, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Check out these highlights (courtesy of HoopMixtape.com) from the first 2 days of the USA Basketball scrimmages held in Las Vegas, NV. For those wondering why Kobe, LeBron, or other players are not featured in this mix, it is because practices were closed to the media until the [...]

July 9, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors I have the sneaking suspicion that Blake Griffin will dunk on a player or two during the Olympics. Most international guys haven’t encountered someone with Blake’s combination of power and leaping ability. Blake put his hops on full display after a recent Team USA practice: [...]

June 13, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Westbrook is a hell of a talent, but can tend to be a hot head at times. He showed us a sample of that yesterday and he slapped the ball out of Shane Battier’s hand. A double technical was called, but not sure why Battier did wrong here. [...]

June 13, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Kevin Durant had all facets of his game on display last night in the first game of the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. He was shooting mid-range jumpers, fadeaways, rebounding, passing, defending, oh….and dunking on seemingly the entire Heat team…. [...]

June 8, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors LeBron scored his 45 points in a variety of ways last night. He hit 3s, mid-range Js, and jumphooks too. But there was no basket more impressive than this one. It’s amazing that after nine seasons, his head is still level with the rim: [...]

June 6, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Paul Pierce doesn’t get enough credit for being a clutch performer, but he has hit many big shots in his career. He did the same last night, which gave Boston the 3-2 series lead. And he did so with LeBron’s hand right in his face.  But the series [...]

May 29, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Taunting is a big part of KG’s game. It is something that he’s done his whole career and it works well for him. The same can’t be said about LeBron necessarily. In last night’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, KG fouled LeBron hard and sort of stared [...]

May 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Guys on the Heat didn’t take kindly to Lance Stephenson making a choke sign after Lebron’s missed free throw a few gamees ago. Juwan Howard confronted him about that prior to Game 4 and last night, Dexter Pitman also sent a message. We’re all for sending messages, but [...]

May 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Should this have been a flagrant 2 instead of a flagrant 1? Thoughts? [...]

May 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Metta World Peace’s rough play against OKC continued last night in what turned out to be the final game of the season for the Lakers. But of course, MWP wasn’t singling out OKC because he does this to everyone. But after the Harden elbow, you’d think he’d take [...]
