    Well obviously he will go with the Suns because he picked up before the playoffs started.....

    He will ride the wave out

    He picked them to make the finals vs the Cavs when the playoffs started.

    I think he picked them because the Suns have an impressive record the last 20-30 games.

    He hasn't provided one. It just shows a generic pic of who the 'experts' are picking. Hollinger hates the Lakers and Kobe so I'm not surprised he went with Phoenix.

    Wasn't Hollinger the same guy who in his predictions with his playoff machine thing, pick Portland to win the West?

    Predicting is always tough.

    His formulas weigh the recent performance of a team, that's why the Suns have an edge according to him. I just listen to him on other subjects, the past not future.

    But he's really not considering our huge advantage in the front court. I dunno, is he really just purely a stats guy or does he really analyze?

    He's purely a stats guy for the most part. For the year we're superior but he uses a special prediction formula that considers other factors.

    Playoff matchups throw off formulas too.
