I'm a Seattle Supersonics fan and I definitely understand you getting shitty at cheering on teams you couldn't care less about so that's why I don't care much about the NBA...
So definitely think we have fucked around with fans emotions enough... I know there's learned people on here but I really feel for those North/south east Melbourne, Hobart, Newcastle, (Geelong to an extent) Gold Coast, Canberra and Brisbane fans that regardless of what's happening in their lives they just want to take their friends and families along to a basketball game against national competition and scream their hearts out like what the majority of posters on this this have the luxury of being able to do!
