Most of us really care about these guys in addition to being fans. We don't get to know much about their health and personal stuff, but their families do. My prayers are out to all of them.
Among the people who almost certainly do know is the rest of our team. Friends tell friends important stuff. I pray for how hard this is for them personally as well.
Of course, as a Mavs fan, our team is so short handed and I just want us to stay close to .500 basketball to keep us with a chance. That game the other night just proved how many ways a 5 games in 7 days allows such an incredible advantage to the other team. It should never be allowed again.
The schedule is just another in a long list of Covid losses to our society I suppose.
I've read comments on this forum stating that this disease is never dangerous for the players, and the players should not even care about Covid. I think that is not fair statement, some of them get really sick, and there are young sports people that have been hit serious with this. Also, many have lost their family members and quiet affected by this in many ways. It's a serious virus, and I hope all the best for our Mavs players that have this. I think this should be taken very seriously. Perhaps the bubble was a better approach to this season.
