I'm just sick of this place being a life support system for one topic and only one topic for 9 MONTHS STRAIGHT.
Having said that, the team's start to this season has been so cartoonishly sad that I kind of get it again.
That phase happened so quick because the Mavs were good immediately following, and had a finals appearance (and should've had a ring) not just 2 years later.
If the team fell apart after 2004 and had to tank, I think the Nash debacle would've been felt a lot worse.
The Mavs had ideally the perfect team around Luka and were poised to prove their finals run wasn't a fluke. They never got that chance. And now instead of high level basketball the next 3-4 years we are restarting all over again for seemingly no reason at all.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
