Re: Jeff Dowtin NBA Player

Dowtin was active for the Celtics game Friday night but was the only Warrior not to play. My money would be on a hangover for Golden State after Curry's record and maybe some run for Jeff, but it was a close-ish GS win. Obviously the Toronto trip was different.

MBB is a game, nothing more. I wouldn't want to be on the same court as someone with Covid whether I had all my shots or not. It is not fair to the healthy to make their participation optional.

Re: Fatts (Grad Transfer to Maryland)

Danny Manning is interim coach now, so the rotations will be interesting to watch. If you were to ever get an aggressive interim guy, Manning is probably it. He got canned from Wake end of last season after 6 years, and is probably itching to make an impact with this fresh start.

We've really flipped the script from being stacked with guards/wings and one big man short of competing in the Baron era, to developing a great frontcourt with little help from the backcourt now.

They could have called a foul a couple possessions before on the shot prior to the out of bounds review, so it sort of evened out. URI definitely "earned" this loss
