Apologize to Coach Rick

[cow]

This is honestly why I've just thought of moving on. As I said before, it's hard for me to keep up with the team anyway being in the bay area. I don't think much will change until Cuban changes or moves on. I hate it too because I feel like I have so much invested mentally in the team over the years. I have a feeling Luka will end up moving on if things keep going this way. It's just hard to watch right now. I mean I hope that Kidd can get things going in the right direction. But, without adding talent nothing will change.

I got that way with the Cowboys.  And while that organization can be frustrating, Will McClay has covered up a lot of the Joneses shortcomings, coaching hires aside.  

While basketball is my true love, I came to it relatively late in my childhood.  It just wasn't a sport my family, and thus I, followed.  Luckily when we moved to Korea, my school was so tiny we could barely had the number to field soccer and basketball teams.  It also helps it was '92 and Jordan mania.  And when I did return home to Texas with a newfound love for the sport, my home team decided to draft one of my countrymen.  Following the team got easy at that point because not only did he turn out to be one of the sports GOATs, he is also the nicest human being you could cheer for.  So easy that it was easy to overlook the clownish owner.  One could argue that Dirk should probably have more than one ring, but given the era and conference he played in, it's easier to overlook some of the organizational missteps.  

And this is going to sound negative but I can't say I love watching Luka play.  He's tremendously gifted, no doubt, and he'll give you a "how did he manage" that play every game,  but his style of basketball is very James Harden.  And then you have all the Mavs organization missteps, both on and off the court.  It just makes me question my fandom for the team.  I loved watching Jordan play, but I'm certainly not a bulls fan.  I love the Cowboys and Rangers because that's what I grew up watching with my family. 

 Maybe I'm a Mavs fan because of location only and because of Dirk?  Maybe I'm just more of a basketball fan that a fan of any team?  Those are weird questions to be asking when you have a generational player on "your" team.
