re: Pels v Bulls: the drive for 5s

Some added context(and why this season is such a farce and reduction in quality)

- Pels apparently did not get into Chicago until 2:00AM

- Pels still had to be up early morning for 8:00
Covid testing

- Due to the circumstances SVG felt he needed to cut out the afternoon shoot around and reduce the load of the walkthrough/prep.

I think to me it’s clear this loss is as much on the league as anything and it’s really frustrating how poor the quality of the product is becoming this season because the league is getting so greedy in trying to force maximum games in a shortened schedule while imposing much stricter restrictions on practice, while forcing things like daily tests that is screwing with players ability to stay rested and maintain a healthy personal schedule.

And being a team that seems to be made of good players that adhere to the league’s restrictions, we aren’t getting many of those covid related games off and so paradoxically are actually at a greater disadvantage doing the right thing because we are playing out most of our ridiculous schedule without breaks.

I honestly caution too much high expectations for this road trip and the Portland game following it because we are going to be at such a rest and health disadvantage and it’s really a fricking shame
