Also, we could all just agree and say the Mavs have no flaws, but I suspect that would make your reasonable arguments the insane ones!
Hey, sorry if my comments came across as pointed. I didn't mean them that way, and certainly not towards you, but maybe the tone was off. Tone is difficult in this medium (at least for me, sometimes).
I think disagreement can be and usually is the source of great discussion, which is 95% of the fun of this place. I'm not meaning to suggest that all complaints are invalid or excessive, nor am I saying the team has no flaws. IDK, I guess I'm mostly talking about the doom and gloom "sky is falling" types. There's a difference between 1) following a basketball team so seriously that certain things frustrate you when you feel they're holding the team back and 2) deciding that the team is stupid, inept and pointless and then turning the details of anything they do into an excuse to rail against them in "public."
We've all had our moments of #2 over the years, tbh, but most of us don't maintain residency there. I don't understand those who do. If I really believed there was no hope, I'd simply stop being a Mavs fan.
