I've followed the NBA less and less since 2021, mainly because that was the time I met my significant other and it is tough to put much time in the league and the team with the massive time zone difference when you are no longer free person ?
But also, seeing Rick & Donnie leaving the way they did, when they were two consistent from the franchise when I started following it in 2008, left a bitter taste tbh. I was open to them leaving but not that abrupt and ugly way.
I still followed the board here, watched the draft and playoffs games, followed the news etc. But barely watched the team in regular season.
Then, new owners came, and I truly hate what they represent (I don'twant to enter this discussion) , and essentially, I stopped even checking box score outside of playoffs, where I still watched the games when I could last year. Mostly replies, again due time zone difference.
Now, this leaves an even more bitter taste, and I actually, I feel lucky that I am not a die hard fan as many here, being from Egypt, I have no connection to Dallas, and watching games was always a hustle etc, so I can't imagine how it is for you guys.
I expect to be more of a "I will check on the Mavs" type of fan. Would probably get here every few weeks, see how we do in playoffs etc. But I doubt I will be watching games
