Well that didn't take long...
Remember when Hollinger said the Wizards would only get 33 wins this year? Based on his new Playoff Odds tracker, it looks like he's changed his mind. According to the predictor, it looks like the Wizards now have a 98.6% chance of making the playoffs this year, with a projected record of 44-38.

Half the fans in the league feel the same way
Just curious--if you don't like Hollinger, what analyst-type do you think gets it right? Besides Jake and Prada, obviously.

I'm not the prognosticator
- Derrick Byars - Released by the Sixers (Of course he had an unfair disadvantage since Billy King was his GM). Now he's playing with the Koeln 99ers.
- Morris Almond - Just sent down to D-League to play with the Utah Flash.
- Demetris Nichols - Released by the Knicks, and now he just got released again by the Cavs thanks to Anderson Varejao.
- Marko Tomas - Undrafted. He's still with Baloncesto Fuenlabrada.
- Jared Jordan - Drafted by the Clippers, traded to the Knicks, and released. You can find him playing with BC Lietuvos Rytas.
All in all, Hollinger is great analyst. That's what makes it so fun the few times he's wrong.

Good question...
It just seems as though he never gives the Wiz their due respect. Even when they were first in the east, he was dogging on them.
I think we hung around 18th in his rankings most of the time last year, and that was followed by him saying something negative about the team. I may be wrong but I dont remember reading a lot of love for the Wizards coming from Hollinger.
As for analyst types that I like, not many, but I like the 82games guys better than Hollinger.

To be fair
I do agree that something he comes across as a bit pretentious, but otherwise, I think he's great.
