Default RE:Mavs, Magic and Yankee Fans are Stupid

Technically you need an apostrophe after the "s" in Mavs because the structure says Mavs fans, (i.e. Mavs' fans)...

Heck if I know....I was merely posting an editorial I thought was interesting. You wouldn't write "Maverick's Fans", you would just say "Maverick Fans". "Mavs" is being used as an adjective to describe "Fans" and since adjectives are used to describe nouns and not to show "ownership", the apostrophe would be incorrectly used.

But sheesh...what do I know...I'm just a stupid MAVS Fan!!!!
