At the moment, I am much more concerned about the league's inability to manage the epidemic with the whole budget and resources available and not, as it seems now, just the opposite.
Wow what a debate which I could comment with ease but let’s talk about basketball, which was my intention from the start and I didn’t express that enough detailed in the sentence quoted above. I apologise for that.
There was a talk about Luka's physical fitness and I personally think most of the Mavs challenges lies elsewhere. They are a young team by years and miles, beside individual players progress they have to learn how to compete as a team by doing it. After slowly start they have shown nice team game progress but the process is now interrupted. And I'm sad about that. That’s really bad for learning path of our team.
It is the same of course for all other teams that are/will be affected by the NBA Covid security protocol, but the fact is that the older teams will overcome such challenges with much smaller loss. And it’s possible that some teams won’t be affected at all.
The NBA is not life, it is a game. BB competition of 30 teams. The foundation of regular games is equality of rules and conditions for all participants. In my view NBA security protocols and rules of the game during pandemic do not pursue this goal on its best. No one needs to agree with me but my opinion is that managing an epidemic within any collective sports game is not easy but I have trust and expectations to the NBA that they could do it better than it shows now.

* You cannot "manage" a virus after it is released and now exists in the natural world. NBA choices are the same as for the rest of us - isolate inside some sort of bubble, 24/7, until the virus has run its course (whether by infection, by vaccine, or both) and has mostly died down, or risk being exposed (with some inevitably going to catch it).
