    Damn that sucks. HoopsTV.com was one of my favorite sites, they always provided straight views and gave much love to Steve and the Rocks. They also had a nice HS and College basketball section and the Honeys section was good also. This is a sad day.

    That's too bad. I was wondering when they'd shut down though. It was a really cool site, although I didn't like the layout. But it did a good job of covering the whole basketball scene.

    I think they said it was being shutdown due to there not being enough hits to the site. The numbers were going up, but it was too little too late. I think somebody has already claimed the domain name though,so I don't know what will happen from here.

    Man that really sucks!!
    Going there every morning was one of my favorite rituals. I loved their Daily Smack section, but they havent updated since the all-star break.

    Thanks for the info, i was wondering why it wasn't being updated

    On further inspection, it looks like the frontpage is off, but links to the inner site work.....some links.
