First off, FIFY. No need to thank me.
I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm not always hopeful (you call it blind homerism). I'm in the military - that's how I'm wired - to always believe. It could be game 7, and we're down 5 points with 0.3 seconds left and I won't give up until the clock is at 0.00 seconds. That being said, I'm a realist and cannot ignore the fact that we have been struggling against scrub teams all year long. Basically, we're a 0.500 team - with all of the talent we have (on paper)? I'm like GTFO - this 's embarrassing. But in the end, I'm still a die hard Laker fan. Until some team sends us to the 2013 playoff tree of woe,
you will see me here talking like I always do.
