All they are are "Here's what my stat says, here's who my stat says is going to win, oh here's a computer projection based off MY stat." He either knows nothing about the game or has completely watered down his interest in favor of his overrated statistical interpretations.
If you want pure opinions, then read the articles from the other 8 ESPN writers. If you want a different way of looking at basketball, then read Hollinger. If you want a combination of both, then read them all.
Why the hate?
Because he has no integrity as a sports writer at all. Make his stat a blurb on another article or as a reference in his own, but I just don't see what his worth in writing about his stat is. We get it, it exists, the numbers then speak for themselves.
You act like he's always just regurgitating his stats. if you read some of the articles he comments on how he feels about the results of the stat and how much value it holds. I'm pretty sure his power rankings have predicted the champion eveery year, injuries notwithstanding, so me personally, I like to read his articles just to pass time.
