Portland Trailblazers

June 30, 2011 – Dane Carbaugh From Blazersedge via Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports: Blazers told Greg Oden’s management earlier this week they will tender 1 year, $8.8 mill qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent. That’s a gigantic offer to put on Oden’s plate considering he has played in about a third [...]

June 27, 2011 – Dane Carbaugh With news that Monta Ellis may be on the way out of Golden State, I’ve put together a few options for him. They in no way represent any rumors or leads but instead are legitimate scenarios should these teams consider to act upon. Do I believe these teams will [...]

June 24, 2011 – Dane Carbaugh It wasn’t but a month ago that the Portland Trailblazers were the talk of the NBA because of ominous pretexts. Less than 10 months after hiring a replacement for Kevin Pritchard in Oklahoma City’s Richard Cho, Allen and the crew at Vulcan axed the rookie GM. [...]

April 19, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors The playoffs don’t just get players fired up. They have the save effect on coaches as well. Just ask Portland head coach, Nate McMillan who was just fined $35,000 after criticizing the officiating during his team’s Game 1 loss to Dallas… Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan was [...]

January 11, 2009 – Dr. J-Water If you look back at the history of the NBA, teams that are winner’s year in and year out and contenders for long stretches of time generally have a one-two punch. A duo that is so talented and has a certain chemistry together that regardless of who you put [...]

December 5, 2008 – Dr. Dime Kevin Garnett hates to lose. Kevin Garnett can be intense about it. If this is that obvious to me, you’d think his teammates would have quite a good handle on Garnett”s personality. Or maybe Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis of the Boston Celtics is just a sensitive guy…..maybe he really [...]

December 1, 2008 – Dr. Dime So far, not so good for Allen Iverson in a Detroit Pistons uniform. The team isn’t winning, Iverson has been fined for missing practice, his jumper hasn’t been falling, and as recently as tonight he’s struggling to even hit open lay-ups. Could it just be trouble adjusting to his [...]

October 28, 2008 – Dr. Dime It’s hard to believe the summer is already over, and the new NBA season is finally on our doorstep! We hope you are all as excited as we are over at The Hoop Doctors to get right into the drama the NBA provides. This season is sure to be [...]
