    Hollinger doesn't pick shit. They used a formula he made up several years ago, and just keep plugging in the new data.

    Just because his name is in the url, I figured he had something to do with it . . .

    I think that 3rd or 4th is about accurate for the best bet the team should do. I don't think the Thunder will drop nearly as much as people think, with Westbrook being out.

    Yes. He built a statistical model. It doesn't require human intervention to run (minus taking the time to link a database to its variable inputs).

    About what I figured as well . . . but I don't have no statistical model to back that up . . .

    Can't believe we are 7th in his power rankings and Minnesota is 5th. Seems like wins mean nothing to his system.

    Minnie is the only team ahead of us that is pretty questionable, however . . .

    Hollinger doesn't pick anyone, its an automated computer formula.
