December 30, 2008 – Dr. J-Water I realize there are a lot of people today talking about the in’s and out’s of whether or not Reggie Evans deserved the technical foul he got for ass slapping Kyle Korver (notice in the video Korver doesn’t even seem to react, as it’s not big deal). But there [...]

Should Hilton Armstrong Get Suspended For Defending Chris Paul?

December 29, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Last night at the end of the half between the New Orleans Hornets and the Indiana Pacers, tempers started to boil over.

You need to foul Lebron harder than that!

December 29, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Lebron James is 275 lbs of lean muscle mass this season. He’s like a damn freight train takin’ it to the cup, hence the nickname “L-Train”. If you try to give him a mickey mouse type of foul, or some other little tap he’s going to still score the [...]

Is Lebron James Unguardable?

December 21, 2008 – Dr. Dime There is nothing more frustrating for a coach then having a timeout at the very end of quarter, needing a defensive stop, and telling your team very explicitly which of the opposing players is probably going to get the ball, and what that player will be looking to do.

Video of the Day: Shaquille O’Neal’s Monster Dunk On Greg Oden!

December 19, 2008 – Dr. J-Water The first time Shaquille O’Neal played against Greg Oden he dunked on him. But it was sort of a soft dunk, and it was kind of from the side of Oden, not really “on him” per se. Well tonight in the game between the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trailblazers, [...]

Video: What was Kevin Garnett Yelling at Atlanta Hawks Fan?

December 18, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap What an exciting and emotional game last night between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics, huh?

The Many Gang Signs of Mike D’Antoni

December 17, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap In the last couple of months following the Paul Pierce ‘suspected’ gang sign incident in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs against the Hawks, I have read multiple stories about NBA or NFL Players, being accused or “suspected” of “throwin’ up” gang signs.
