Your glass is not half empty.... it is mostly empty.
Are you lowering expectations in hope for a better outcome?

He's being a realist- in this case we now have more than ample evidence with Bennett playing during regular season play to know that he doesn't show the same level of jam/awareness/je ne sais quoi. Even if he does play amazing during the playoffs, it leaves us in the same position- what do we do with a player who is mostly useless 98% of the time but really effective 2% of the time? Just like if we were in a desert and thought it might rain this week. Great, we will have water next week. But we need water for the next 3 years, and so far we know that Bennett runs dry. And Bennett doesn't provide enough "water" on his own to guarantee an end to the cup drought.
