I might be judging them too harshly, but I find it disappointing that they're one of the first teams to get hit this hard by Covid. I just sort of assumed they'd handle this part of the season the right way.We don't know the details yet (if ever), but I don't know that we can jump to the conclusion that the Mavs were careless about following the protocols. I think it is at least as likely that the protocols just aren't sufficient to prevent outbreaks.
I fear that, as the virus ripples through the league, and games are played with numerous key players absent on one or both sides, outcomes will become so random as to be meaningless.
We are arguably already there, with blowouts here, there, and everywhere, and seemingly little relationship of results to the quality of the teams. I hope not.
