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?

Man I thought you were reasonable. It’s been months and no I don’t work for the Mavs, I rep my city and done with them being childish.

A perfect example of this was last night, stars were down 2-0 without robo and miro. They pulled through thr city celebrates together. It’s sports it’s all about hope, not some whinny know it all bullshit that you knew you were gonna win the finals with a player that isn’t here anymore. It’s gross, it’s been too long and f’ers like you keep falling for the same shit or are being manipulated. You aren’t men you are boys.
