Rumors

May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors There’s so much talk about LeBron and Wade, that we sometimes forget about Bosh. Maybe he’s not as big a name as the aforementioned, but he certainly plays a critical role in Miami’s success. Yesterday, Bosh went down with an abdominal strain and may be out a while. [...]

May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Well, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Kyrie Irving was by far the most productive rookie this past season and should probably considered one of the best PGs in the league in a few years. Kyrie Irving began his first pro season as the top pick [...]

May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Playoff basketball is all about mind games. No one was better at that than Phil Jackson. Apparently, Pacers coach Frank Vogel has taken a page out of the Zen Master’s book as his squad is about to go up against the Heat in the 2nd round. Indiana Pacers [...]

May 10, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The only reason James Harden doesn’t start is because he’s on the Oklahoma City Thunder. On just about any other team, he’d crack the starting lineup. He’s a very talented player and impacts the game in more ways than just scoring. He helps stabilize the offense which is [...]

May 10, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Greg Oden has been through a lot. He’s one of the most injury-prone athlete the NBA has ever seen. Even though he’s been the butt of many jokes, it had to be tough for him to deal with. Recently, he opened up to some of the internal struggles [...]

May 9, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The Clippers have somehow become the Miami Heat of the Western Conference, meaning they’re the team that other teams don’t really care for. Not sure how we’ve arrived here. Part of the reason is because they have been accused of flopping. Namely Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. Even [...]

May 8, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Everything that could’ve gone wrong with Baron Davis’ knee on Sunday, did. At first, he was rumored to just have a dislocated knee cap. But we have found out that he also has a torn ACL and MCL. Given the fact that he’s 33, was a shell of [...]

May 8, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Typically, the greater the player you were, the less likely you are get a head coaching gig in the NBA. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was screaming about that for years, and Patrick Ewing has been very patiently waiting his turn. He’s been the assistant coach in Orlando for years and [...]

May 8, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Just when I thought I couldn’t have any more respect for C-Webb, he addresses the Blake Griffin and ‘flop city’ situation head on, during the Clippers-Grizzlies broadcast last night. And he hits the nail on the head, you may get away with a few calls here and there [...]
