An Open Letter from the Last Mavericks Season Ticket Holder
Every year, it's the same story. The Mavs start off looking like a playoff team, lose the first three games, trade away win-now talent, and fade into oblivion. Ownership promises improvement, the organization pledges to fix problems, and the mantra becomes, "This year is going to be the one—just wait and see." We get our hopes up, the first-round picks excite us, and the GM assures us the rookies need a bit more time to develop. They say, "We might not be winning, but come out and watch Scoot!" Scoot is amazing, but he can't compensate for the constant dread of inevitable losses. At some point, you end up feeling bad for the guy.
Not this year! That's our motto! We're winning the division and heading to the playoffs! Scoot got his Unicore (Poole), the point guard is ready, and I've watched all the preseason games—Poole hasn't lost a step from last year. He's coming into town to pass, defend, and rebound.
He's not the only reinforcement on the way! The G-League Legends (the IRL Mavericks G-League team name) are set to whoop some ass. I've watched every G-League game, and these Legends are ready to put the hurt on the NBA. Dominatrix was ready to dominate two years ago. The Rookie of the Year was a rigged vote—she should have won! In fact, she did win, but they didn't give it to her because the league didn't want her name associated with it (keeping it PG). Well, the league won't be able to sideline her anymore. They'll have to put her name on the commercials. Candice Parker is still developing, but she'll average 15 points and live up to the contract the team gave her. And Reese—Reese is the star, the real deal. There's talk of benching her, because she needs time to develop, but they better not! They traded away their draft pick for next year; there's no way they don't play her! Her play is ferocious—no one is stopping her. She's modeled her game after Ron Harper and Herbert Jones. Good luck to the league in stopping that train!
Come out and join me! This team, as constructed, is a winner! No deals need to be done, no waiting for some prospect to be ready. We know what we have, and it's a winning hand. You saw how the Lions made the playoffs this year. That's us! We're this year's NBA's Lions.
This year, we're living up to our name! Mavericks means unorthodox! The GM built this team in an unorthodox manner (just as the haters on Facebook claim). The Mavericks management team has been lauded for not taking direction well. Yeah, that's right! Here in Texas, we are independent-minded, and it's about to pay off. (Just ask the Titans' mentor how well he listens to direction.) Like our namesake (Mavericks), we are unbranded wild animals—stallions! Look at our logo! Good luck reining us in! We're on the march! We're Mavericks, and the league will have to deal with the chaos we bring for a while!
Come and join me! Get on the bandwagon early! The conference is weak and ripe for the picking. With talk of a shake-up in conferences at the end of the year, the Mavs want the respect to dictate what the new conference looks like. Buy your season tickets now while they're cheap because come March, they'll be sold out. If you want playoff tickets, you have about a month before people figure out this team is the real deal, and playoff tickets are also gone.
I, as the last Mavericks season ticket holder, am calling my shot now! Playoffs or bust!
Any Questions?
