April 3, 2012 – Dan Favale In the NBA, a week can make all the difference, the Clippers are tangible evidence of that. After posting an abysmal 6-10 record coming out of the All-Star break, the Clippers have won six straight, none more impressive than their lopsided victory over the Mavericks in Dallas Monday night. [...]

March 30, 2012 – R.S. De France The Los Angeles Lakers loss to the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-93, at home on Thursday night was not surprising after the tumultuous week the Lakers had. That does make it their third home loss in their last four home games. It seems only fitting for the Lakers [...]

March 30, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors In this week’s THD Podcast, Kevin Burke provides keys to victory for each of the Final Four teams. He also dissects what’s going on in the Lakers locker room… [...]

March 28, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors We all know that sometimes in the heat of the moment tempers flare, and people say things in a manner they wish they could take back after the fact. Kobe Bryant is an incredible basketball player, but restraint, especially with his teammates is definitely not one of his [...]

But how many of [...]

March 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Kobe doesn’t open up much. He has layers upon layers upon layers. A couple of times since Derek Fisher has been traded, Kobe has expressed how much he misses Fish. He opened up even more and said playing against him will be emotional. Despite all the accolades for [...]

March 21, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Shannon Brown nails a three, triggering a full timeout from the bench. Down ten with seven minutes and change left, Los Suns had El Heat — for what it’s worth, these are basically the Taco Bell versions of translating — on the ropes on their home floor. As this [...]

March 19, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors We knew the Lakers were going to upgrade their PG position and that Derek Fisher was probably going to be that sacrificial lamb. As you know, he was dealt to Houston and apparently didn’t like that as a landing spot… has reached a buyout agreement with the Houston [...]

March 16, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Well, the trade deadline has come and gone. Really, the way things went down, the teams many thought would be busy either trying to add pieces or getting the women and children on life rafts and off the sinking ship indeed were doing those things. We got a few [...]
