    LOL was going to post that again but already did him once today. Random stats FTW. Pretty impressive though.

    What does this mean?
    The Pelicans have lost 12 straight games — the longest losing streak in franchise history.

    They kind of remind me of what the Lakers used to be.

    The Lakers have gone 12-1 since I posted this. And I've been waking up every morning with a smile on my face.

    As a Liverpool fan, checking the standings just to see the gap is one of my favorite things to do.

    I keep waiting for them to "slip" but they never do. Klopp has finally ended the curse I think.

    If you can't use your hands it's not a sport.

    It's the most imbalanced title contending roster of all time.

    Van Dijk getting hurt in addition to two of the three up front going down is about the only thing that can derail it at this point.

    What does Lavar have to say about that? I’m sure he would disagree in the cause.

    I thought City could keep pace but even they seem to be having a crisis.

    Anything is possible at the halfway point... if either AD or LBJ got injured we could fall to a lower seed, so why not Liverpool

    But with the rest of the big 6 in disarray it's hard to imagine any of them making up that much ground.

    Leicester miracle 2.0?

    It would be crazy if they bottled it.

    We are talking Red Sox, Cubs like curse here... so I'm not sure we can be shocked if that happens.

    It's a bit different in soccer though. Outside of Messi or Ronaldo, no one can have the type of impact an NBA superstar can as one of eleven. Especially now with Minamino coming in January. As long as two of the front four (Firmino, Salah, Mane, Minamino) remain healthy, and Van Dijk doesn't miss significant time for any reason, we would have to collapse to lose at this point.

    We'll know December 26th. If we get a result against Leicester, I can't see how anyone could catch us.
