Hi Warthog,

Yes, the context clearly supports "optimistic".

Thanks for the comment.

I will miss reading your posts. You are a very intelligent and witty guy. As are many others here. I have learned a great deal about basketball during my time on Pistons.com.

Doesn't change my point. An attitude adjustment is desperately needed on the forum. I still have hope. You are all daily in my prayers.

Cheers.
