Sure you do -- you gotta right, I've gotta right, we all got our 
rights.   But what I find interesting is the fact that people will 
inevitably describe themselves as "realists".  You did, and I would 
call myself that too, but it's also clear our positions are vastly 
different.  I just happen to think that my position is much more 
"realistic" because I don't think you can call the entire season a 
wash this early in the season.  I'm not "questioning your loyalty" 
but I will say that, if I continually told myself and others that my 
team "sucked" and took opportunities to bash the team publicly, I'd 
start questioning my own "loyalty" or fanaticism (you know, the word 
we get "fan" from).

The team's 7-9 and, right now, would be the 7th seed in the East.  If 
that's the kind of "sucking" you're talking about, I'll be as pleased 
as punch come the end of the season.
