iโ€™ve really enjoyed watching as a neutral observer. kinda feels like a weight off my shoulders
February 22, 2025 at 6:29 PM
not really that active lol. i forget about the app most of the time and when i remember, i come here to get out my long winded thoughts lol
February 22, 2025 at 5:56 PM
my mavs fandom was bc of dirk and i stuck around bc of the sense of LOYALTY he instilled in the org. they broke that and thatโ€™s what tainted my link to the org. idk how that link will be repaired for me
February 22, 2025 at 5:55 PM
i evaluated my sports fandom as a whole and i couldnโ€™t imagine dropping the liberty (for eg) even tho i feel some type of way about org/fan relationships. had to really think about it and i actually figured out my issue this time lol
February 22, 2025 at 5:50 PM
after more reflection, i still feel this way but i was wrong for attributing it to why iโ€™m good on the mavs rn bc thatโ€™s not the reason
itโ€™s a shame we retired the pod bc i feel like i know how to articulate my thoughts now on the mavs. the final one we did was more raw but i know exactly how i feel now and how to say it

there have been like 10 bad things that have happened since i last updated thisโ€ฆthat franchise is doomed and ruined.
the dude they sold their soul for out after barely 3 quarters. iโ€™m telling yโ€™allโ€ฆhand to heart, there is a bad energy around this franchise right now. extremely bad energy.
lively fracture, out for 3 monthsโ€ฆit is not our time to shine

and now theyโ€™re running that shit like a dictatorship. feel bad for the locals. as long as they have this setup, they will never get another cent or sliver of support from me. i really mean that

i also believe that a lot of this bad luck can be traced to the new owners lol. like all billionaires are ghouls but the typa evil the mavs brought in was just a little too much lol. this is divine intervention

if i didnโ€™t absolutely hate everyone on the other app rn iโ€™d do a space or something to let this all out
February 8, 2025 at 5:07 AM
yeah i donโ€™t want to be apart of this at all. this idea that they can do whatever and we have to just sit there and take it and pour our money and support into them bc thatโ€™s what a real โ€œfanโ€ doesโ€ฆidk i donโ€™t want any parts of that
February 8, 2025 at 5:03 AM
i canโ€™t speak for anybody else other than myself so i honestly donโ€™t want how iโ€™m feeling roped in with others bc this isnโ€™t even about luka like that for me. the franchise feels dirty to me now. i feel dirty for even thinking about rooting for them in this current state
February 8, 2025 at 4:58 AM
folks are doing the โ€œitโ€™s not that deepโ€ shtick but i genuinely believe that whole situation is a microcosm of the state of affairs in society. i canโ€™t explain it all here but this was very much โ€œknow your placeโ€ from all angles

For anyone who wants to unpack the Luka trade from a reasonable Mavs fan perspective, there isn't a better meditation on it from all angles + laughs than @sjbasket8.bsky.social & Uncle Block's final Mavs pod, esp. the first 45 mins.

SJ truly is a gem in NBA media

yep, repeat szn on the way

iโ€™m not done with basketball btw. the mavericks just lost a fan in me. will probably be a better viewing experience for me to just watch hoops without a true rooting interest. weโ€™ll see how that goes
on some real shit, iโ€™ve stopped being a prisoner to basketball and iโ€™ve felt so much better bc of it lmao. if iโ€™m not feeling a mavs game, i just turn it off lol. like i really donโ€™t have to watch, i have free will lol
February 2, 2025 at 7:18 PM
this is why i believe in omens. itโ€™s like i felt it even tho i couldnโ€™t see this coming at all
February 2, 2025 at 7:16 PM
appreciate that
February 2, 2025 at 6:47 PM
