Fish here

[DanSchwartzgan]

When LMF had lots of folks, it was still at a time when the Mavs weren't popular. We all identified with "Lone Mavs Fan". It seemed like a fairly mature crowd that had a good knowledge base. The in depth Mavs talk was the majority of the talk. There wasn't nearly as much hijinks, and not as much ledge jumping, sky is falling stuff, but there were some entertaining posters. Having said that, I like hijinks :-), so maybe that's one of the reasons, other than the dwindling population over there, that I ended up with this crew.

Off topic:

Since Cuban owned db.com and was at the very least encouraging to Fish in order to drum up interest in his product (Rings was right on with that, btw), I'm assuming LMF was still thriving when the Nash/Nowitzki acquisitions happened, as I believe that was about a year before Cuban bought the team. 

How did those smart Mavs fans from LMF view that time? Were they excited about the Nelsons? Were they excited about Nash/Dirk? Did it feel then like the beginning of something special was happening? Was it anywhere near as obvious then as it is now, with Luka?

First of all, Richard/Rings, like any other human, can be factually correct about information, but, it seemed impossible for Richard/Rings to take that information and have a reasonable thought based on it. Rings spammed the world with crazy toxicity. Nothing right about that, pal! BTW, I got the ball rolling which lead to Richard being banned from LMF! :-D 

Second, the LMF crew was excited about Dirk from the beginning, but there were detractors, and it wasn't nearly as obvious as it was with Luka. Nash was controversial though. Nash vs Pack was a big discussion.

Richard was a major Dick.  Was glad to see him go, thanks from mavstax.

So Chaparral is mavstax?  Cool.
