Mavs 107, Kings 121

I don't think it is that easy. Even not every team had same problems with Covid. I am not sure how (Covid affected) players can get in shape if there is no time for training. 

Ever since results became a problem (Covid slump) Carlisle ran a very tight rotation of basically seven guys. Sooner or later this has to show effects.

I am not saying it is "easy," but it IS the fault of the players and coaches, as they are playing with the same deck of cards as everyone else. 

1) Luka in particular needs to be taking better care of his body if he wants to be elite. 

2) RC needs to be willing to play his rookies, like the vast majority of coaches have this year.

My point is that fatigue is on the players for not being in better shape and the coaches for not playing a deeper rotation.
