The Weakest Link: Atlanta Hawks

Someone, possibly Vito Corleone once said, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” I don’t really get what that means, but as the playoffs approach, El Blowtorch will be profiling the worst player on each team’s roster. Then, the players will face off in a simulated one-on-one game of NBA 2K8 if it’s available at Video Villa. Obviously, this will provide the in-depth analysis needed to predict the winners for each playoff series. Up next, the Atlanta Hawks and Mario West…

Here's a list of guys with the last name West that I can think of off the top of my head (no Googling):

Adam West - Batman

Kanye West - rapper

Jerry West - logo

David West - basketball player

Doug West - basketball player

Mark West - basketball player

the direction West - a cardinal direction

Sorry, Mario. I don't know you. And after this year's playoffs, I don't think that's going to change.
