August 10, 2010 – Dr. J-Water At first glance it is shocking to see all these big name player signing with NBA teams for the veteran minimum. First Shaquille O’Neal, now Tracy McGrady. Who’s next, Allen Iverson? Then upon second glance you realize that although its not a huge pay day, at least it is [...]

July 23, 2010 – Kevin Burke As a basketball enthusiast on both the collegiate and pro levels, it’s always interesting to watch a guy elevate from an amateur in college and be able to watch him throughout his career in the NBA.  On the other hand, I’m always amazed by guys who prove to be [...]

February 23, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap The Detroit Pistons are drowning and no one seems to want to throw them a life preserver. With this weekend’s Pistons drubbing by King James’ Cavaliers, the Pistons moved to .500 basketball at 27 wins and 27 losses.

November 24, 2008 – Dr. J-Water We are always taking a bit of flak from our Canadian contingent that say we don’t give the Toronto Raptors enough burn on The Hoop Doctors. Well even though the Raptors got embarrassed yesterday by the big three of the Boston Celtics (who could be seen joking around and [...]

November 16, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Shaquille O’Neal is a big man. If Shaq fouled players in the paint even half as hard as he got fouled he may break some arms and wrists in the process. For as long as the Big Fella has been in the league the debate has been ongoing as [...]

November 15, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap Last night’s ‘must-see’ match-up between the LA Lakers and the Detroit Pistons in LA did not disappoint. There were a lot of story lines playing out, from Kobe Bryant and Richard Hamilton getting in each others grillz all night long, to Allen Iverson finally fitting in seamlessly to his [...]

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 [...]
