Asian linsanity related?
Could be. That would be a good reason someone might use.
The mavs got a bunch of Argentinian fans this year when they signed Facu.
A lot of Aussies started rooting for the Bucks when they drafted Andrew Bogut. Many have stayed fans. Same for Greeks now.
Sometimes, it’s based on where they have relatives living in the US. Lots of immigrants in NY.

Was totally wrong about two offseason moves:
-
Displeasure with the Donovan Mitchell trade.
-
Loling at the Kings hiring Mike Brown.

Defense has been better of late
that’s quite a scary lineup
Heat players available Friday:
Kyle Lowry
Jamal Cain
Max Strus
Caleb Martin
Nikola Jovic
Haywood Highsmith
Orlando Robinson
Markkanen for MIP 
Lowery played 50 minutes, then Washington and Miami went on to lowest scoring ot score ever.
Dafuq is the home team doing at these games?
haha yeah that’s the Nigerian soccer league from 2013, this article makes it sound like a few things:
“Arriving just before kick-off after long road trips, often on hazardous surfaces, is far from ideal preparation for players. And they do not always arrive. Last season two matches were postponed when first Sunshine Stars and then Wikki Tourists were robbed on their way to games.”
“Referees must contend with fans too—for the men in the middle being beaten up is not so much a risk of the job as an inevitability…Lack of funding constrains the league’s ability to help referees in one crucial way: officials do not receive salaries from the league, rather they get ‘indemnities’ that are paid before each match by the home team…some clubs try to make payment performance-related.”
“the television company…considers the region too volatile to send cameras to the home matches of sides such as Kano Pillars, El-Kanemi Warriors and Gombe United; rival clubs claim that one of the reasons that none of those sides lost at home this season is because the absence of footage allows them and referees to get away with particularly outrageous abuses.”
“…and there is still no guarantee that the home mob will not get their way. There was an infamous case several years ago when a referee awarded a penalty and fans invaded the pitch. The referee was a colonel in the army and he took out his service pistol and chased the fans off. But the away team were still afraid of what would happen if they scored so their player deliberately missed the spotkick.”
“Northern clubs retort that their rivals are merely inventing excuses. Last month when the potential title-decider between Kano Pillars and Enyimba was abandoned following a pitch invasion, Enyimba refused to play on, claiming their players feared for their lives, but Pillars officials protested that their fans had simply been ‘jubilating’”
