Season Preview

August 15, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The 2012-2013 NBA season will be opening, as did the last season, with the attraction of story lines. “Will Dwight Howard/ Steve Nash be the Lakers’ key to another title?”, “Can the “Heatles” do it again?”, “What about OKC?”, “Will the Clippers make the next step?”,  and so [...]

December 20, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors The NBA is back baby! And for our readers that also means our weekly features are soon to be back, such as our Power Rankings, MVP and ROY watch, and most importantly our weekly highlight mixes from our resident mixologist Meir Erginbas.

December 20, 2010 – Kevin Burke Last week I took a break from Monday’s Weekly Knicks Notes, but if I did scribe one you would’ve read me go on and on about how great the Knicks are. I would’ve bored you into unconsciousness with how they’ve turned the corner and how they can give any [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

November 22, 2010 – Kevin Burke I must admit, I was extremely nervous heading into last week. The Knicks were riding a 5 game losing streak and showed no sign of breaking that skid. Then, on the horizon was their annual early season West Coast trip so I didn’t think that time away from the [...]

November 8, 2010 – Kevin Burke I have to admit, I was getting worried. The season is officially underway and after the first week, no one from the organization had heard from Danilo Gallinari. He wasn’t returning phone calls or anything. But finally, there was a Danilo Gallinari sighting. All this time I thought the poor [...]

November 1, 2010 – Kevin Burke If you missed it last week, I’ll fill you in quickly. This season, TheHoopDoctors.com will be bringing you a weekly update every Monday on the Knicks season, since they essentially decided to basically forfeit two years leading up to the 2010 summer free agency. It’s only right to take a look [...]

October 25, 2010 – Kevin Burke We’re finally here. A new NBA season unlike any other. This is the type of season that every basketball fan dreams of. It’s full of story lines and potential matchups that you couldn’t possibly conjure up in your wildest imagination. In my role as writer for TheHoopDoctors.com, I pride myself on [...]

September 22, 2008 – Dr. Dime Last week I shared with you some of my preliminary thoughts in a listing of short previews on each team in the Eastern Conference for the 2008-09 NBA season. Well here are my ‘shorts’ on the Western Conference heading into the new season. Once again if you want my [...]
