Imbuing a different mindset

I think Kings fans have a right to be homers if they choose to do so. And who are you to decide someone isn't enough of a realist? If you cannot present an argument without using insults and condescending commentary, you really aren't bringing much to the table.

Unfortunately some people just refuse to believe that we might make it this time, after a decade of drought, we have a legitimate and realistic chance to make it to the playoffs, I can comprehend why he is being careful and a little bit pessimistic regarding to the Sacramento Kings success, probably due to the fact that there wasn't any in the last 14 years or so, but this offseason was different, you can feel it in the way this forum sees it and in the way the majority of the league see it.

In my humble opinion I believe that we all should look forward for our team's success, and yes this time it is realistic to say that we can clinch a playoff spot.
 
There is the national media way of looking at things and there is the educated point of view of the kings. And it's a Kings fan forum which could and maybe does influence ones point of views with homerism but the reality is that most of the views here are educated. There is one or 2 views that look like they are straight outta national media.
 
Everyone has their own opinion, but as stated by dude12, this is the Kingsfan forum, and as a result, in general, we're more optimistic about our future than the national media is. It's a double edged sword. We come with built in bias, but, we also have a close up view of what's going on. Something the national media doesn't have, or in most cases doesn't take the time to investigate. To most, our story is fill. An echo of someone else's opinion. In the grand scheme of things, its just someone's opinion, which may not be worth the paper it's written on.

Where you lose me, (a generalization) is when you become condescending or arrogant. I realize that everyone wants to be right. I know I hate being wrong. It's a bitter pill to swallow. But, there are times when I'am. Believe me, my wife never lets me forget those times. It's not my fault that her memory is better than mine. Point is, disagree, but be civil in doing so. Especially when neither person can factually prove their point. When it's nothing but speculation. I could list as many things that could go wrong as could go right in the coming season. An optimist will tend to see the positives, and a pessimist will tend to see the negatives. To some degree, both will be right and wrong, based on actual results, not speculation. Right now, at this given moment, none of this matters. Except as a way to fill the DDOS. :eek:
