That Haley article brings back memories of the Fish that I used to read in the Startle-O-Gram and listen to on KLIF.
Like iolide above, I stumbled upon dallasbasketball.com back in 2007. I was starved for Mavs coverage, having recently moved out of state, and saw somebody talking about Fish's Daily Donuts on Myspace (!)
I started reading his Donuts, and then started reading the forums. Back in the day, the site was as others have said, a 'one stop shop' for all things Mavs related. The articles were good, the forums were rowdy, and it became one of my favorite places to waste time online.
I agree with iolide. When Fish started concentrating more on Cowboys coverage, the Mavs content suffered. Post 2013, between the decrease in the quality of the Mavs content and the decrease in the Mavs success on the court, I didn't spend as much time there, but I still visited a few times a week.
I wish Fish the best, but I think his Mavs content will slowly dwindle away due to the reduced quality, and more importantly, the loss of this community. It was the community that kept me coming back a few times a week, after the quality and quantity of the Mavs coverage declined.
I visited Maven quite a bit at first, but I don't much anymore. It's just not the same as it used to be, and the interface is horrible.
