    Official "John Hollinger is a Cunt" Thread

    In another rending addition of his daily power rankings, with his stupid fucked up formula that makes no sense...he has the Pistons ranked 13th, and behind the 6-6 Cavs, the 6-6 Raptors and the 6-7 Houston Rockets....what an idiot!


    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/powerranking[


    he is by far the weakest link of NBA's analyst department...who the F creates formulas to determine whos good??? LOOK AT THE FUCKING RECORDS...

    Cleveland averages 100 ppg, yet they're opponents are averaging 102 ppg...what a joke

    RATING = (((SOS-0.5)/0.037)*0.67) + (((SOSL10-0.5)/0.037)*0.33) + 100 + (0.67*(MARG+(((ROAD-HOME)*3.5)/(GAMES))) +
    (0.33*(MARGL10+(((ROADL10-HOMEL10)*3.5)/(10)))))


    Theres the formula...talk about fraudlent math

    In this particular case it's all about strength of schedule but it should balance out as we get deeper into the season. The pistons have played a lot of crappy teams. If you sort that list by strength of schedule, the pistons are second to last.

    With only 12 games gone by, they take a double hit because the schedule for the last 10 and the schedule for the full season get counted.

    Then he should really get a new name for it rather than having that formula translate into "power rankings"

    Because there's an official definition of what "power rankings" are that this violates? I always figured that anything that subjectively ranked teams based on anything other than W/L record qualified. Even though this one is formula based it's still just one person's opinion on which stats other than W/L offer some insight on how well a team is doing at a given moment.

    I'd be interested to see someone go beyond "it's dumb because the pistons aren't near the top" to go into any detail about why the premise is flawed.

    If I replace dumb with silly does that qualify?

    It's dumb because sports don't = mathematical formulas.

    You're right, stats have no place in sports discussions.

    Stats have a place in sports discussions. Not any and every place.
