March 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors In this week’s THD Podcast, Kevin Burke takes a look at the first weekend of the tournament and gives his takes on the upsets. He also takes a trip around the NBA… [...]

March 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The ongoing saga of Allen Iverson trying to lace ’em up one more time in the NBA, just doesn’t seem to end. After failed attempts at playing pro overseas, and failed attempts to use the lockout shortened season as a point of re-entry to the NBA, Allen Iverson [...]

March 22, 2012 – Allen Moll Earlier this month when the initial 2012 McDonalds All American Game and Jordan Brand Classic rosters were announced, there were clearly two omissions in the form of shot blocker supreme Nerlens Noel and New Zealand’s monsterous big man Steven Adams. Noel, who has already been compared to NBA Hall [...]

March 22, 2012 – Griffin Gotta I remember when Ramon Sessions left the Milwaukee Bucks after signing an offer sheet with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bucks, to my surprise, declined to match. Coming off a 34-win season under then-new coach Scott Skiles (this was an improvement, mind you), Milwaukee was showing the very early signs [...]

March 22, 2012 – Dan Favale It was far from pretty, but the battle between the Knicks and Sixers on Wednesday night was sure as hell enlightening.

Three months later, the two legendary collegiate programs have a [...]

March 21, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Shannon Brown nails a three, triggering a full timeout from the bench. Down ten with seven minutes and change left, Los Suns had El Heat — for what it’s worth, these are basically the Taco Bell versions of translating — on the ropes on their home floor. As this [...]

March 21, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors You knew that sooner or later, the endorsement deals would flow in for Jeremy Lin. While “Linsanity” isn’t as powerful as it was a month ago, he’s still a big international draw and should be for a while. Just ask Volvo who just signed him to a two [...]

March 21, 2012 – Dan Favale The Heat continue to win—14 straight at home, in fact—but lately, it has been far from pretty. Leading up to the NBA All-Star Game, Miami was exuding a level of dominance that many didn’t even know their big three led squad was capable of. Double-digit margins of victory became [...]
