MV, I think you were expressing your views, not what everyone does or does not think.
To rewind, the conversation started with your idea (as it appeared to read to me, anyhow) that the Mavs were headed for a failed, bad, going nowhere season -- with the rationale that there was really no way around it because this, that, and the other WILL all go wrong. My paraphrase, of course.
You were asked if you couldn't see a better outcome that was in between but you said SINCE all of A, B, C, D etc WILL happen so as to be bad, there really isnt any path to a good successful season. It was your stance on the inevitability of all the various bad outcomes that I responded to.
Are you saying that I misread you and you actually do think there ARE possibilities that any, some, most, or even all of the various possibilities in player contributions, health, lineups, coaching choices, development etc this season could turn out positively rather than bad, and lead to a surprisingly fun season for Mavs fans? Or no?
