Regarding Hollinger's comment about Looney below, some excerpts from Hollinger's season preview where he picked the Warriors to go 39-43 and finish 9th in the West:
> While the Chase Center gives the Warriors a license to print money, even they have their limits — especially if, as seems inevitable, this team still isn’t a realistic contender. For instance, surely they will need to pay somebody in draft picks and cash to take Looney’s $5.2 million deal, which would save the team roughly $25 million on that check to the league.
> Likely Deep Reserves: Kevon Looney, VORP/100 of -0.42 (slightly better than Chris Chiozza and well below Mychal Mulder)
> Kevon Looney, C – Oft-injured big knows how to play but has zero athletic pop left.
bam is going to have to be way more involved scoring the ball if miami wants to have a chance because butler and the x factor tyler herro isn’t enough firepower
Confidence and attitude. Show it.
Hey Kerr, maybe some guys on your bench could do better.
Dubs getting punked
I was sleeping in my coffin. WTF. Can we please send D Lee to anyplace that does not include a Warriors game.
Let's win in convincing fashion!
Why do people keep talking about elite defense in ECF? There has been 2 blowouts. Both teams D gave up a lot in 1/2 games. Warriors gave up 87
Could be us tomorrow. Here’s hoping the Mavs don’t shoot 1000% from 3.
So we should try to limit the Mavs to under 50% from 3. I know it sounds like a crazy idea… but I hope somebody can forward this suggestion to Kerr.
Except for his ability to dribble with his left hand, Payton Pritchard looks like he could have played on one of the original Celtics teams...

To be fair, the last excerpt was accurate.

I realized that the Celtics are playing with a 7-man rotation while the Heat is playing with a 9-man rotation.
I miss kawhi, he is on a different level then all these other stars
Holy cow. The three point shooting reminds me of that one Finals game where the refs screwed us and the Cavs hit everything.
We will beat the breaks off of both of these teams
They’re such a different team with Smart. Heat aren’t gonna be able to generate all those turnovers they used to get back in game one.
