A great thread, and one I was actually considering starting myself for a while.
It’s really hard to explain, but for some reason, I’ve found myself less and less invested in the team over the past few seasons… like, I still watch 82 games a year, but increasingly I’ve found myself cheering for a blowout by half time so I can stop watching early…
It almost feels like burnout; I’ve been cheering the team so hard for the past 16years (I've been on the boards the whole team, just not an active poster), that I just have no more to give…
If it wasn’t for Luka, I’d definitely think about taking a season off, but with this kind of generational talent, what mavs fan can miss a game?
This off-season I’ve kind of realised the problem for my ennui was probably Donnie and Carlisle, so I’m prepared to don my mavs gear for another season, and see how things shake out. Still, I’d really like for things to turn around in a hurry… the treadmill of mediocrity that we’re on is draining…
