ESPN giving us a bit more credit...Or Not?

[ALong13]

So remember about a month ago John Hollinger of ESPN gave us a 0.3 percent chance of getting into the playoffs? well now he's released another and he's given us a bit more chance...12.2...So while yes we've moved up in percentage we are still third to last in the East...

Then after going 4-2 in our last 6 and should have won those two, we are now an amazing 20th in the power rankings.

It's like ESPN wants to give us some credit, but they look at the overall record instead and the past history and go no....I'll love the day when we have mulitple games on ESPN and get more credit...guess we'll have to sit back and wait a bit more...

EPSN nowadays is just plain funny IMO.

You guys need to use your brain... Hollinger doesnt just whip these precentages up, he uses formulas with our teams statistics, Points for, Points against, Strength of scedule etc. Lots of things go into this

Its not about respect, its about how we have been performing, and that is better as of recent...

Yeah, I have a good bit more respect for Hollinger after studying his writing and how he comes up with his analysis. It really is fair and impartial for the most part. I cannot say he has any greeat bias against us. It's jsut like MattD said: Our numbers have improved as our games and playing have improved. And if we play tonight like we did last night, we will move down in the rankings again.
