Corey Brewer

In the NBA, unexpected heroics are cause for…severe skepticism. Corey Brewer hung 51 points on the Houston Rockets (his current team) as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves in April 2014. It was an electric performance, and the Timberwolves needed every last one of his 51 bones to squeak out a 112-110 victory. You can [...]

On Sunday night, Clippers power forward Blake Griffin made his return after a long 15-game absence in repairing a staph infection that required surgery. However, his return would be spoiled by the visiting Houston Rockets, who were able to get a much needed road victory at their expense (100-98). James Harden was marvelous as always—with [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Kevin Love believes. Talk of 2015, when Love will be a free agent and likely courted by the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, among others, kind of makes you forget that there’s another team who will be competing for Love’s services—the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minny’s quest to retain Love has already started. David Kahn [...]

Success never comes easy to the Minnesota Timberwolves. For what feels like forever, the Timberwolves bordered on laughable or just not good enough. Preseason expectations have often toed the line of nonexistent since Kevin Garnett left. They were rarely equipped to win 25 games, let alone contend for a playoff spot in a loaded Western [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

The New York Knicks have a lot riding on the 2012-13 campaign, more than most of the other NBA teams do, in fact, and such pressure calls for drastic action. New York has Carmelo Anthony, the biggest star on the team. It has Amar’e Stoudemire, a star in his own right, yet one who is [...]

May 04, 2011 – Joshua Sexton If there is one thing I took away from the Mavericks’ Game 1 victory over the Lakers it’s this: Dallas is a much deeper team than Los Angeles. Anyone could look at the statistics and be able to tell you the Mavericks had a better bench than the Lakers [...]

September 20, 2010 – Dr. J-Water I know everyone is jonesin’ for the 2010-2011 season to kick off, including all of us here at The Hoop Doctors. So much so that I found myself watching this video multiple times today to get the adrenaline rushing. Personally, I think the Ty Lawson dunk on DJ Mbenga [...]
