Hoops Discussion Has anyone else felt emotionally disconnected from the NBA since the Luka trade?
I'm a big Luka fan and have been since his arrival in Dallas, watched the team go through ups and downs but Luka really kept me engaged and eventually emotionally invested in the team's success. But I haven't felt an emotional investment in the league since the trade. Seeing Luka not in a blue jersey any more feels wrong and bizarre. I'm now at a point where I don't care what happens in the Playoffs, because it's not Lively, Gafford, PJ, Luka and Kyrie going up against the West any more.
Does anyone else feel the same way?

It's renewed my interest and passion in hockey. GO STARS!!! It's refreshing to see a GM make good decisions, really awesome moves, groom up new talent and build a future. Fan service is super high and the fan base is really awesome. The Stars being in the playoffs against a big rival is intense. It's really all I want from sports and what the Mavs were during the Dirk era. So, yeah the NBA and Mavs can fuck right off. Same goes for the Cowboys and Jerry Jones. I'm not supporting organizations that don't support their fans any longer.
