Which makes sense considering that they're rushing to open stadiums to full capacity. I'm guessing they're just trying to ride out the clock on the season before making it official with as little attention as possible.
There are two, separate issues here:
1) The validity (or lack thereof) of the NBA's rules regarding health and safety, and whether or not they are evolving to keep sane pace with the evolving situation in real life.
2) Whether or not the Mavs' players are focused enough on the team's goals and the current task of advancing past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade to follow those rules.
We can debate #1 at length, but it won't put a better taste in my mouth about KP and his relationship about #2, personally.
