Something that is incredibly ironic is that this piece could NEVER have been written in the days of DallasBasketball.com
For one thing, Fish was incredibly connected to Donn Nelson. Almost apologetically so. Very few takes from DB.com/Fish were hyper critical of the MBT when donnie was running things.
The other issue is that at one time db.com was a Mavs mouthpiece. When the domain was originally registered it was done so under the Cuban umbrella. After a few years that entity was "freed" but it was done so under Fish's leadership and the "75 Member Staff". In other words, it was a relatively safe place with the "official" pieces and it was only in the message boards where the vitriol ran. One of "Rings" party-platforms from back in the day was how dallasbasketball.com was a mark cuban puppet and Fish was the marionette. Not surprisingly, Rings got the boot - deservedly so, but still.
All that to say: Fish sold out, we were cast adrift until landing upon the Mavsboard (still room on this board Jack), I miss my friend Richard (as flawed as he was/is), and now that the Cowboys are no longer worthy of the soup du jour - FISH writes a rehash piece critical of the Mavs in an attempt to stay relevant: you know, now that he has little to lose for writing it...
Donuts anyone???
