2010

December 3, 2010 – Allen Moll Don’t look now but the Indiana Hoosiers are well on there way back to basketball relevance under the tutelage of 2nd year head coach Tom Crean. He has been making his mark on the recruiting front after the roster was gutted over the Kelvin Sampson recruiting violation fiasco a [...]

December 2, 2010 – Allen Moll Every freshman in college basketball has that one game that makes a statement letting his teammates and fans know he has arrived. For Duke’s Kyrie Irving, Wednesday night’s contest against the #6 ranked Michigan State Spartans served as his coming out party as he dropped 31 points, 6 rebounds, [...]

November 30, 2010 – Allen Moll The ’10-’11 college basketball season is off to a roaring start with some things playing out pretty much as expected with teams like Duke, Pittsburgh, and Kansas looking very good with unblemished records. Of course there have been some surprises like UConn’s tremendous early start, beating two Top 10 [...]

November 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke I think they have hit their stride. Things seem to be clicking and running smoothly. Guys know their role and are maximizing their potential. Since coming off that 6 game losing streak, the Knicks have looked good, winning 6 of their last 7, including a 5 game win streak [...]

November 25, 2010 – R.S. De France I know it’s only the end of November, but we’ve played enough basketball in this 2010-11 NBA Season to have a glimpse of who has improved from last season and who has not. I think often times people can confuse an increase in scoring production with most improved [...]

November 25, 2010 – Allen Moll In honor of everyone’s favorite day to carve up the bird, eat til we can’t move, and watch football all afternoon, a thought crossed my mind as to just which NBA players would qualify for TheHoopDoctors.com’s first ever Turkey Awards. After all, the roundball usually always takes a backseat [...]

November 24, 2010 – Allen Moll While it may be a case of bad timing with news of former #1 overall pick Greg Oden going down with yet another serious knee injury, the notoriously funny site The Onion.com was at it again poking fun at just how fragile the Portland Trailblazer center has been over his 3 [...]

November 22, 2010 – Kevin Burke I must admit, I was extremely nervous heading into last week. The Knicks were riding a 5 game losing streak and showed no sign of breaking that skid. Then, on the horizon was their annual early season West Coast trip so I didn’t think that time away from the [...]

November 18, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol I’m not sure whether to laugh, cry, or just sit around in a complete state of disappointment after hearing the news last night that Greg Oden will once again miss an entire season with another knee surgery. I think almost every fan of NBA basketball has been patiently [...]

November 16, 2010 – Kevin Burke And you guys thought that LeBron James deserves to be vilified because he exercised his right as a free agent to the leave the Cavaliers and join the Heat. Apparently, Time Magazine disagrees with you. LeBron was just nominated by the magazine for the Person of the Year award. President Barack Obama, [...]
