No respect from RealGM
Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:37 am
Seldom do I read any of the RealGM articles because, let's be honest, the writing and analysis isn't exactly spectacular. For some reason, however, I decided to click on and read Jason M. Williams' "Two Plus the Foul" column on "Dream Playoff Match-Ups" in the west.
Granted it's a little old, but check out what he had to say in the space dedicated to his "dream" match up of Denver and the LA Lakers:

It is obvious that Jason hasn't watched a Houston game since the Van Gundy days, but those comments defy logic. You don't roll off 18 in a row playing "boring and uninspired" ball.
And by the way... Denver?!? Seriously? No disrespect to the team, but there is no way that a Lakers-Nuggets series would last more than five games with the way Denver has been playing lately.
Does he always make things up as he goes along and hope that no one calls him out? I know it's just RealGM, but how does this guy still have a job with analysis like that?
That "zombie" comment is classless...

Yes, it is hard to leave off a team that is currently sitting pretty with a fifteen-game winning streak, but they just lost Yao Ming for the season and will now be relying on Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry, and Dikembe “The Zombie” Mutombo to patrol the paint.
That, and if you look at the point guards of the top nine teams, who would you be least likely to trust during a playoff push: Tony Parker, Derek Fisher, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, RAFER ALSTON, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, or Allen Iverson? I gave you a hint by using capitals but seriously…Rafer Alston? Come on.
