Dirty Dozen

What makes one sports writer better than the other? What gives these sports analysts and writers the right to predict the stuff that they predict? I was reading an article from a supposedly good sports journalist about the nets not being strong enough to match the heat and then saw that the fool didn’t even have his facts right. He said that the nets and the heat spilt the four games in the regular season. The guy is on crack. We beat the heat 3-1 in the regular season and it would have probably been 4-0 had we got that call when Carter drove to the bucket in the first game. There was contact and he got hacked but there was still no call.
After I read this guys article, I googled his name and found his e mail address and wrote to him telling him that he made a mistake and he should correct his article. Hopefully, he reads my e-mail. I can be a great sports writer but no one is going to read my stuff and then you have idiots like this making claims. Has he even watched the nets off late? Has he watched the heat off late? I would not argue with this guy if he said that we were not in the same league as the pistons. But the Heat? Come on man. Shaq is a shadow of himself, Mourning has a torn calf and might not be 100 % during the play-offs and they have no offensive rhythm. The only thing that they have working for them is baby Jordan but how far can Wade carry them?
And these guys get paid to write as they feel and they also have people reading this stuff. I wish I knew basketball pre 2000. I would certainly have given this stuff a try. I don’t and if you were not part of it, it is difficult to feel it.
