ML's playoff record of 0-8 is real, until he gets a 1 in the win column anything else is just noise. I see things as they are not what I am told they are. Under ML we have had many parts of many seasons where we have played well, very well. But in the end, we have failed. It is simply realistic to assume the same will continue until it does not. Saying it is different, hoping it is different or praying it is different still does not make it different.
I am NOT a pessimist, I simply will not trust any regular season performance until it actually translate into the post season. If it does, then the reality is changed.
You are clearly a pessimist. That is fine. I understand your position. But when you start talking about what is going to happen in the future you are not a "realist".
The "realists" here said we would not make the playoffs in 2011. Now go check with "reality" to see what happened.
You can be as proud as you want of your pessimism. You just can't call it "realism" when talking about what is going to happen in the future.
