2008

September 26, 2008 Here is probably one of my personal favorites as Adidas payed homage to my main man “I’m on top of the world” (KG) Kevin Garnett. The colorway is fascinating in that it glides your visual from front to back with an all white to fading black. The cushioning inside is a Celtic [...]

September 22, 2008 – Dr. Dime Last week I shared with you some of my preliminary thoughts in a listing of short previews on each team in the Eastern Conference for the 2008-09 NBA season. Well here are my ‘shorts’ on the Western Conference heading into the new season. Once again if you want my [...]

September 17, 2008 – Dr. Dime The Hoop Doctors know we must have hit a bit of a dead spot in the NBA off-season for intriguing news, as we have started to get mail already asking us: “Where are your 2008-09 season previews?”. Our response is always something along the lines of “easy tiger, they’re [...]

September 16, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap How fierce and intense is the face of Kevin Garnett in the heat of battle? The guy is borderline scary to even watch, regardless of the fact that i’m sitting in the comfort and safety of my own home watching him through the TV. Last season was a dream [...]

September 15, 2008 – Dr. J-Water There has been a lot of media attention swirling in the last couple of weeks about the rehabilitation progress of the Lakers young center and rising star, Andrew Bynum. And while it is widely accepted that Bynum is the Lakers center of the future, quite a few questions remain [...]

September 7, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious So it’s FINALLY here! Tonight is the Season 5 premiere episode of HBO’s Entourage. Doesn’t it feel like forever since the last episode of Season 4 when ‘Medellin’ bombed at the Cannes film festival, or when Johnny Drama found his dream girl and took her “to the beach”. Literally. [...]

September 5, 2008 – Dr. Dime I’ve always known Canadian player Steve Nash, the point guard of the Phoenix Suns, to be one of the ‘good guys’ of the NBA. He is an ambassador for hard working, over-achieving players across the globe who have a dream and won’t give up reaching for it. He’s a [...]

August 22, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap The Portland Trail Blazers don’t know Greg Oden. The media doesn’t know Greg Oden. The fans don’t know Greg Oden. Heck his college team Ohio State from 2006-07 doesn’t even know Greg Oden. So who does know Greg Oden? In a basketball sense, probably nobody but Greg Oden knows [...]

August 21, 2008 – Dr. J-Water Who doesn’t love dunks? I’ve come to the conclusion that if you don’t love dunking there is something wrong with you in your brain. And if for genetic reasons you can’t dunk, then you love watching people dunk. I’m not sure what the actual science behind the fascination is, [...]

August 20, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Yesterday I read a great Sports Illustrated post by Ian Thomsen on Jermaine O’Neal and his summer rehab efforts in Las Vegas. If you are even remotely a J.O. or Raptors fan, you definitely have to check it out as it will get you more than just a little [...]
