This is an index page. It holds the label “Lionel Hollins” — 29 pieces in all — and nothing else: the writing is on the pages it lists. The newest filing sits at the top, which on an archive of this age means the most recent thing that was said under the name rather than the most important.
By date the list sits in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and its heaviest single year is 2015 with 19 pieces. That shape belongs to the archive rather than to an editorial decision made afterwards.
The name survives from the old site; the desk that took its work over is Opinion, and the full map of desks with their counts is on the section index.
It is worth being clear about what is absent. No ratings, no recommendations, no ordering by quality, and no note telling you which of the pieces below still holds up. Those judgements belong in the writing, and where one of them turned out to be wrong it is said on the piece itself.

The Nets have come a long way out of their financial purgatory, and have relieved themselves of the “old” tag that was associated with their brand. Based on where they started, they’ve made miles of progress, but based on the rate at which the East is improving, they’ve still got some work to do if they want to be considered a threat.
