I find it funny that John Hollingers claim to fame is creating simple math equations for basketball and then passing them off as complex. They are almost always his opinion manipulated into a formula that pushes his ideas; maybe he should work for FOX news instead. The fact that he put in an “intangible” stat made me laugh at him once again. Obviously he didn’t want to go on pure stats because then his favorite teams would be shot down. I like Atlanta too John but they are what they are and you can’t help that. One last note JOHN, Forbes just listed the Detroit Pistons as ranked 4th on the NBA Team Valuations 2007. Another bogus formula all shot up.

i dont believe all the moronic nonsense that the clods at espn are always spewing about certain teams and that includes my beloved pistons …they are bias against small market teams and they always have been …the pistons are in the top ten in several play off categories including wins , so how can hollinger claim the pistons are just above mediocre?? last time i checked they have more championships then cleveland, utah , houston and several other teams ….. to rank them 13th shows these guys are all about hype and no substance …… you want to know who really is mediocre , try tim leglers so called “basketball i q ” and the espn/abc announcing team of jackson/van gundy/ brheem……talk about brutal!!!
