Hello Lazies.

The Los Angeles Clippers are steamrolling ahead in the West with a six game winning streak to start their NBA season. The Ringer just released an article saying that the team is a playoff contender, surprisingly not because of their 'Big Three' of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan, but their bench has turned them into a juggernaut.

FiveThirtyEight predicts that the Clippers have a 99% chance of making the playoffs but as I keep diving into the black hole that is the internet, they apparently only have a 10% chance of winning the title... The Warriors are still clear favorites but maybe the Clippers could be the dark horse of the West.

Reply back your thoughts and catch you Thursday.
