    I mean, we're joking around, and it seems statistically impossible, but...

    1. They are really, really bad.
    2. How much can they really improve versus other teams improving?
    3. The more they lose, they tougher it will be to keep trying
    4. The more they lose, the harder other teams will play against them, not wanting not be the "first"

    They could truly, possibly get to 0-30.

    Dude, you are still in minus profit. More than half of your winning predictions are at poor odds that not cover your losing predictions.

    Don't be a debbie downer. Clearly just there to track for amusement and for himself, not to rub it in somebody's face.

    Yesterday on MN Sports Talk radio they were already predicting that the T-Wolves would be the first to fall to the Sixers. Apparently the Wolves have a history of helping teams break losing streaks including in the 90's helping the first year Vancouver Grizzlies snap a 20 game losing streak and the Dallas Mavericks a 23 game losing streak, both games at Minneapolis.

    This might not have been an accident as the headline on the official T-Wolves site this morning was "Wolves give Sixers first victory". ;)

    (Dec. 2)

    You have to love my timing. If you see me get involved in a sports prediction, run, don't walk, to put money on the opposite outcome.
