December 8, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol I don’t care if you love the Miami Heat, I don’t care if you hate the Miami Heat. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you are a fan of the NBA or not, you have to admit that this might very well be the coolest NBA Action [...]

December 6, 2010 – Kevin Burke Pardon me, while I deviate from the usual format of Monday’s Weekly Knicks Notes, but it’s only fitting because things are anything but usual in Knicks country these days. This just in: The Knicks are for real. With yesterday’s win in Toronto, that gave the Knicks their 9th road [...]

December 3, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Antoine Walker it seems is a bit of a ladies man. Last we heard Walker was on the verge of bankruptcy, but I guess this plaintiff didn’t get the memo as he’s suing Walker for $5 million. Why? For stealing his woman apparently. Seriously…. Walker — who last [...]

December 2, 2010 – Joshua Sexton In the 1960s and 70s it was not rare to see NBA players working double duty as both player and head coach (with a staff of assistants of course) for their respective teams. One of the most famous player coaches of all-time was Bill Russell, arguably the best player [...]

December 2, 2010 – Kevin Burke New York City is the Mecca of basketball. I didn’t make that up. It’s a fact. Actually, the entire Northeast corridor has a very heavy basketball influence. That would include New Jersey as well. When you roll all of that up, sprinkle in the NBA, you have the Knicks and [...]

December 2, 2010 – The Hoop Doctors This week’s highlight mix from The Hoop Doctors is focused on the Top 10 Plays of the Week in the NBA. Given how many exciting plays there were to get the adrenaline pumping it was hard to whittle them down to just a list of just 10. But [...]

December 1, 2010 – R.S. De France In the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent, disappointing 95-92 loss to the surprisingly decent Indiana Pacers, we learned what’s going right with the Pacers and what’s going wrong with the Lakers. That 3-point loss does not tell the whole story.  The game started off contested; the Indiana paced the [...]

November 30, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Given that they both are either 7′ tall or close to it (Howard is 6’11”), Dirk Nowitzki and Dwight Howard play the game in a polar opposite fashion. Dirk Nowitzki likes to shoot from long range and mix up his game with catch and shoot plays, back to [...]

November 30, 2010 – Dr. J-Water Thanks to a cool hoops site we stumbled across called The Hoop Scene, we have a replay for you of the ridiculous dunk Russell Westbrook threw down all over the Houston Rockets defenders on Sunday night. How big was the dunk? Mos def one of the dunks of the [...]

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 [...]
