Winter break 2014: Borussia Dortmund are 17th out of 18.
The odds rated them the second-best team in Germany. So were they bad?
In the first 17 games they took 290 shots, their opponents 156. They outshot the other team in 15 of 17 games… and lost 8 of them.
That's not a bad team. That's a bad run.
Second half of the season: 31 points, from 17th to 7th.
Bad luck is loud. But it doesn't last forever.
