The NBA is difficult to follow religiously. With a regular-season lasting from Halloween to April and 82 games to keep track of, there is little shame in admitting to being a fair-weather fan or somebody who waits for the playoffs to get really involved.
I am plenty guilty of this. Geography dictates I should be following Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz, but instead I usually stick to endlessly entertaining NBA Twitter until a worthy underdog bandwagon forms in late April.
This is a column for similar people who need a storyline to follow, those who have lost interest in the XFL and just can’t find allure in MLB’s spring training (or regular season).
