May 18, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors While the headlines following Game 2 were all about LeBron James, D-Wade deserves as much blame for the Game 3 loss. Wade struggled all game long, totaling only 5 points. During the game, frustration hit a boiling point when Wade got into it with Erik Spoelstra on the bench. This [...]
May 17, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Although this was obviously a completely inadvertent elbow from James Harden on Ron Artest last night, Karma is a bi@$h. Harden not only shakes Artest on the drive, but gives him the business end of the bow on the way past. I wish I could say I felt [...]

May 2, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors No one questions Kobe Bryant’s will and drive to win come playoff time. The man simply takes it to another level defensively in the post-season. Prime example was last night in LA for Game 2 against the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers up almost 10 points, Kobe still goes [...]
