Hollinger: The Wiz will go 36-46 this season

You know, it's weird. I found myself agreeing with him for the most part (like I do most of the time), but then I completely lost him when he got to the outlook for this season. Oh well.

On the bright side, he only had the Wizards winning 33 games last year, so it could be worse.

Sean May might be healthy this year, you know...

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Forget Hollinger

This guy seems like he never watches any of the games.

There’s no mention anywhere in his Outlook or analysis about Dom, yet twice he mentions Pesh. Get real.

Nothing in the Outlook about Blatche except cutting down his foul rate. Like a 22-year old big with skills that came out of high school cannot improve at anything other than his rate of fouls.

John is a stats guy – so he should appreciate how I came up with these numbers. He is consistently low in his predictions for the Wizards. Just like a golfer that has a bad hook, perhaps we should aim more to the right………..
Based his consistent track record , we should add at least 4-5 seeds in the Eastern Conference, 2 Seeds in the Division and 9-10 games to the record….

Therefore: 46-36, 2nd in Southeast Division, 6th in the Eastern Conference.
