Rumors

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. But they may in Game 2 if Kendrick Perkins can’t go. Thunder center Kendrick Perkins, who aggravated a right [...]

May 15, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Sounds a bit odd to hear that a 25 year old ‘man’ has been hired into an executive position of an NBA franchise, doesn’t it? The Golden State Warriors have promoted Kirk Lacob to the position of Assistant General Manager, the team announced today. But I guess it’s [...]

May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Last week, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said that he thought the Heat were great Floppers. If you thought that comment would go unpunished, you’re wrong. He was fined $15K for those comments by the league… Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel is a little lighter in the wallet. The [...]

May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors There’s so much talk about LeBron and Wade, that we sometimes forget about Bosh.

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 Because every Knick PG is hurt, and because Toney Douglas has been banished, Mike Bibby will get the start against the Heat in Game 5.
