http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/s ... iem-090211In this article, he explains why his beloved stats says the Lakers are number three when we just beat Cleveland and Boston. What an apologist to the highest level.
Anyway I respect how he comes up with his stats. He is just stupid to use it as a predictor. Remember when he was ooohing about Cleveland because they happen to dominate his ranking? He even said no one will stop Lebron to the title.

He does have a point though. The Lakers schedule before the 6 game road trip are mostly gimmes at home. I personally don't care for the way he tracks the teams, just take it as an unorthodox approach at creating a power ranking.

Ya my bad on being a jerk by laughing at someone's problems, but you would think our Aussie brother would be more concerned about the wildfires that bascially owning half of their country than sitting here on a basketball board and talking smack about our team or our fanbase about we havent accomplished **** yet.
Call me crazy but I would be looking for a garden hose or a waterbottle than posting a thread and talking smack online.

did he say the lakers stopped lebron to the title? those few regualr season games have set the lakers up to finish with homecourt if they maintain. give me a game 7 in los angeles against anyone and i am pretty sure the lakers take it. let lebron get to the title before you get all sensitive about who's not stopping him.

A. We actually haven't won jack yet, so we really don't have anything to celebrate. We're Laker fans, we celebrate championships, not regular season games.
B. Are some of my fellow Laker fans actually making fun of the fact that over 700 homes have been destroyed in Australia? I won't even ask that we show a little class, lets start with decency. Unbelievable.

he has always been a lebron homer. nothing new there. hollinger is an idiot imo. his points hold no weight. if lebron and company had won six straight games and went into staples and boston to do it,he would have them at the top of his weak ratings.
