Rumors

May 24, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The logical conclusion would be that the defensive player of the year would be named to the all-defensive 1st team. But that would be too easy. Tyson Chandler had the second team because the same people don’t vote on both. Miami Heat forward LeBron James, winner of the [...]

May 24, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Shaq makes it pretty well known that he’s not particularly fond of Dwight Howard. He has thought that Dwight was trying too hard to be just like him. So can you image the dynamic if he were Dwight’s GM? It would be an ugly situation to say the [...]

May 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Michael Jordan has compiled quite a list of candidates. Patrick Ewing is already on that list and now Jerry Sloan is as well. The interesting thing about Sloan is that he’s actually interested in the gig. Go figure. Sloan said on Tuesday that he has talked to Charlotte owner [...]

May 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Last year’s rookie class wasn’t exactly one of the most heralded bunches we’ve seen. They came in without much hype. Today, the league announced the all rookie teams and seven guys made the 1st team. Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, the 2011-12 Rookie of the Year, was the [...]

May 21, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors This shouldn’t really come as a shock to anyone. The way in which the season ended for the Orlando Magic was one for the ages. Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy engaged in a back-and-forth about whether or not Dwight wanted to play for Van Gundy. And for [...]

May 21, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Dwyane Wade didn’t seem like himself in Game 3 when he totalled only 5 points. Apparently, he’s been quietly nursing a sore knee and had to have it drained before Game 3. It paid off in game 4  because he was on fire in the 2nd half and helped [...]

May 17, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors When Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan were both in the Western Conference, it never really seemed like they were that close. Not that they had to be, just because they are the two best PFs of their generation. Duncan is very reserved, while KG is anything but, so [...]

May 16, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Even with a healthy Chris Bosh in the lineup, the Heat were going to have their hands full with the Indiana Pacers. They’re not going to grab headlines, but the Pacers are a very good team. They have Larry Bird to thank for that… Not only was he [...]

May 16, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors In Game 1, the Thunder completely embarrassed the Lakers and ran them out the gym. Even though they’re young, the Thunder really don’t have any holes on their roster.
