Rumors

November 7, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol I know Stephen Jackson is no angel, and I understand the in’s and out’s of the new rules regarding arguing with refs but all that said, does this fine seem a little excessive to anyone else? Stephen Jackson of the Charlotte Bobcats has been fined $50,000 for verbal [...]

November 5, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol We are sad to hear the news that Fabricio Oberto is retiring. He was an integral part of the rotation for the Spurs CHIP in ’07, and was always energetic with his time on the floor. Health definitely is the most important thing in life, so the decision [...]

November 5, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol There are a lot more LeBron haters out there than the last time LBJ played for Team USA in the Olympics. But no one can deny that when you go into international battle you want to bring all of your best soldiers and LeBron certainly is one of [...]

November 4, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol I’m not sure who’s telling the truth in this whole situation, Garnett or Villanueva, but regardless I have to agree with Doc Rivers that players shouldn’t be tweeting on court trash talk for the world to see.

November 1, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol The big fella has been playing the team game better than anyone expected this season in bean town. Given the underperforming of Jermaine O’Neal thus far, the Celtics are hoping Shaq won’t miss any significant time with this knee bruise….

November 1, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Michael Cunningham of the AJC is reporting that the Hawks and Horford have agreed on a contract extension. A healthy one at that… [...]

November 1, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol We’ve talked a lot about Rajon Rondo this week on The Hoop Doctors because of his huge 24 assist game in which he also recorded a triple double. But Pau Gasol has been quietly flying under the radar as a huge performer and leading the Lakers to a [...]

November 1, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Rest in peace big fella, you will be missed not only by Blazers fans but fans league wide. You played the game with intensity and ferocity.
