I get on here way too much. Sad its all going away. And like someone above said, where we live theres NOWHERE to discuss Mavs.

Heck, I talk shit to my 8th grade prealgebra students after a mavs game, and they rib me back if the Mavs lose. Thats how desperate I am lol. Ill even show the class the highlights every once in a while.

Holy shit, you're a teacher...

I totally get the "not being able to talk to people" thing... I used to live in Dallas, but moved back to Austin last year... Pretty much everybody here is obsessed with UT sports (#NotMe #UNT #Denton #90s #LSD #Jazz, #Jungle), but when it comes to the NBA this is mostly Spurs country (with a little Rockets salad-tossed in because Texas).

D-M is/was my only solace.

What's funny is every time I go to Austin and wear Mavs stuff I get compliments.

Quality recognizes quality... Just because we're perceptive doesn't mean we're a majority.

Hahaha please dont take my comments on D-M(especially a GDT) as a gauge for how I educate these little rascals. I only teach Math, but they are regularly reminded of the greatness of Dirk.

This is horrible. I actually live by this site. Is there any way I can help?

Well Trump wants to shut down parts of the internet. With all the self-radicalization that occurs on this website, I'm not convinced that this DJ character is not a Trump operative laying the initial groundwork for Trump's inevitable crack down on free NBA thought. Trump and his buddy Putin are obviously Nyets fans.

Nah, I was kidding... If they teach Texas History, then Dirk Geometry should be a subject.

He isn't the only teacher around here I guess

In my case at university level.

On a serious note: I'll gonna miss this place a lot. I was still lurking here whenever I had the time, but that wasn't often during the last 2 years. Too much to do in real life. Additionally, at some point you're not able anymore to pull yourself out of the bed night in and night out here over the pond if you have to work on the next day. And during the weekends you need some proper sleep. I am still following my Mavs whenever I can, but due to the reasons mentioned above it I had to make strides.

I'm still having my acc on spurstalk (same name), although I'm rarely active there anymore. Additionally, I'm posting every now and then on realgm (different name). Twitter I don't use.

But what I witnessed here stays with me (I read here before joining). And the climax was the title in 2011, just an amazing feeling to celebrate it with all you goofballs. It was a pleasure to be here, to say it with Dirk's words: It has been an amazing ride. Thanks and goodbye.
