Pau Gasol

June 10th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious The Staples Center will be an overwhelmingly welcome sight for the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. Everyone knows “there’s no place like home,” which is probably even truer during this epic playoff run than in most past years. During the 2008 NBA Playoffs we have seen the home team win [...]

June 9th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water Pau Gasol, I must apologize to you. I am sorry Pau Gasol for calling you “soft.” I also apologize on behalf of the other writers at The Hoop Doctors who have ever called you soft. There is no way that anyone who throws down a dunk as nasty as [...]

June 7, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious If there is one lesson that could be pressed upon us as soon as this Sunday, it’s that it may not be wise to taunt, prod, and ridicule a competitor as fierce and potent as Kobe Bryant. The “Black Mamba” is probably the fiercest competitor the NBA has seen [...]
