I admit I am a big Detroit fan (80's 'til now) but living in Dallas for the past 6 yrs made me a Mavs fan. I've watched all their games on TV (local, TNT, ESPN, FSN etc etc...) and occasionally watch games at the American Airlines Center and at the old Reunion Arena twice or three times every season since then but that would not make me bring out the pom poms like a cheerleader and definitely won't make me "act like a Roman" 'coz the truth is:
I've done all that stuff for all these years. and if you go ahead check the front page on this thread you'll see my name as the thread starter with my first post (unedited) that goes
"the Spurs are the team to beat in the West but i think the Mavs will get them this time".
I've seen all the trades and drafts, the big names they've let go and I've been religiously listening to ESPN 103.3 (Mavs FM radio station) all these years. I've bought Mavs merchandise, Nowitzki, Nash, Finley, Jamison, Walker, Van Exel, Howard (Juwan) and recently Harris, Howard (Josh) and Terry jerseys for both me and my son. I even have Mavs stickers on one of my cars here (the other one has Detroit but my parents' car in Cebu got Mavs' sticker) so don't tell me or anybody else on this thread for that matter (fans or not) how to act like a Dallas fan 'coz
"you don't know whom you're talking to". and if you're Dallas' biggest fan, why is it that I haven't seen you on older Mavs thread on these forum where they got heckled, trashed and disrespected after bowing out to the Kings, Suns, Spurs etc..?
"fan for convenience ehh"?
the bottomline is: they (Mavs) still have to finish off the Spurs (that's the hardest part), they still have to face either Suns-Clips even before going to the finals, and Detroit is no pushover either. so hold your guns 'til they've won the West finals and meet the victor in the East in the NBA 2006 Championship before you run out of bullets, you might get disappointed like all Mavs fans were for all those years if they lose to the Spurs, or maybe lose against the Suns-Clips.. I hope you'd still be here yapping your mouth even when they don't reach the 2006 NBA Finals 'coz that's what true fans do.. support them when they lose not only when they win.
