November 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke Every NBA season brings the unexpected. This year is no different. One thing that this season has brought us so far is unlikely MVP candidates. Granted, we’re just barely a month in but it’s never too early to kick this topic around. A guy who I think is an [...]

November 26, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol The Memphis Grizzlies rookie and first Iranian player ever to make it to the NBA, Hamed Haddadi, has been arrested this week (as well as his girlfriend) in a domestic dispute. Police say Hamed Haddadi of the Memphis Grizzlies and his girlfriend have been charged with assault following [...]

De France I know it’s only the end of November, but we’ve played enough basketball in this 2010-11 NBA Season to have a glimpse of who has improved from last season and who has not. I think often times people can confuse an increase in scoring production with most improved [...]

November 25, 2010 – Allen Moll In honor of everyone’s favorite day to carve up the bird, eat til we can’t move, and watch football all afternoon, a thought crossed my mind as to just which NBA players would qualify for TheHoopDoctors.com’s first ever Turkey Awards.

Marvel Comics and ESPN collaborated this season to draft NBA/Marvel Comic mash-ups for each NBA team which were published recently in ESPN the Magazine’s NBA Season Preview. Enjoy the [...]

November 18, 2010 – Nicholas Cicchetti As a blue-collared young professional, whenever my colleagues and I are fortunate enough to attend a game, we find ourselves trudging up endless flights of stairs staring wearily at a ticket that reminds us we belong in the 300s. Much like Gerard Butler’s movie, our 300 experience is fraught [...]

November 17, 2010 – The Hoop Doctors The Hoop Doctors have put together a highlight mix with our favorite alley-oop plays from the past week in NBA action. Re-live the excitement in our countdown and see if you agree with our assessments. Who gets the #1 spot in our Top 10? Was it Kidd’s pin [...]

November 15, 2010 – R.S. De France As Kobe Bryant plays his 15th season, he also enters into his quest for a second non-consecutive three-peat, a feat only Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen have accomplished. Perhaps serving to motivate him, besides the 3 all-stars in Miami, are the words of a fellow all-star and Hall of [...]

November 14, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Steve Nash is once again playing at an elite level even during the twilight years of his career. It is like the man just can’t be slowed, regardless of what defenses throw at him. It also seems that the stress or threat of being traded amongst swirling rumors [...]
