Well, to each his own I guess. Some writers are overly gracious with some teams while some are overly critical  |
Simmons has never really hated on the Mavs... in fact right before the Miami series he was comparing Dirk with Bird in the way he pushed his team to the finals, pretty high praise, especially from a Celtics fan.
On the other hand Rosen has always hated everything about the Mavs, never acknowledging them as a contender. Now with the Kidd trade he is applauding them for once (because we added 'heart' and leadership)... crazy isn't it? I think he's the only writer i've seen that has given the Mavs an A for this trade.
Hollingers the one writer I don't think has any biases, he follows the stats. It's not a bad system, he did predict the Spurs to win it all last season with his reasoning.
