On one hand, some you want to see the team flourish! On the other hand, some you seem (seem) to bash down on people here who ask a simple question, or mere suggestion that we can do it (Lebron, Bosh, whoever). There is a reality that says you 'most likely' cannot, but there is also a part that has to believe it can happen, to even have a chance. Without that hope, we might as well as sign off any' possible future that we could' have, unless if only we would give it a chance and believe in it. And we have had plenty of plenty of moments that it never did, so we already know this reality too well. I'm talking about success of getting what it takes to get there and giving it a chance to believe that it can happen.

This has nothing to do with setting yourselves up. You's do that on your own. That's a personal thing.

It's like that little man in the cartoon 'Gulliver' who constantly says 'we'll never make it' or 'we're doomed' or we're gonna die'. That little man never believes it's possible to achieve extending his own life. He's bought into the safety net of knowing that one day he will die and doesn't give much thought to his own life before the obvious will one day happen. I've bitched and complained about players and situations, but equally I have also dreamed the impossible. I have tried to believe that things are possible. I dreamed so much that we now have a capable GM who has given us some light at the end of the tunnel and a coach that can manage whatever he can bring us. Be realistic, yes, but never stop dreaming and hoping that the impossible can happen also. As long as there is a chance, it's no more different then trying to win the lottery for the top draft pick.

Basically, I think we've realiteed' ourselves out of possible deals over the years. We need a reality check on our belief systems.

lololo luck.

Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low 'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad 'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

"High Hopes"
Cahn/Van Heusen

Why didn't I make a thread like this a long time ago?
