Message: [QUOTE="Get a Job, post: 3391968, member: 9775"] I was about to argue against your characterization of my attitude as negative, but, upon reflection, perhaps it is. My assessment of this team's ability to beat good teams and make post season play is certainly pessimistic. This is only a function, though, of the product I see on the court. When the team is good, and I say, "Wow, we have a great shot at getting a good seed in the tournament!", has my attitude gone from negative to positive? Superficially, sure, but generally I would argue that my attitude is consistently realistic. This board has plenty of irrational optimism. Some people here still think we will make the field of 68, for example. Even if I am overly pessimistic (which unfortunately has not been the case lately), this board could benefit from a little brake pumping from time to time. Sorry that you don't welcome such input.
