Summary
Nerder She Wrote's Dave DuFour, Mo Dakhil and Seth Partnow dig into what has been different about the play on the court from inside the bubble, compared to when basketball was unbubbled. Why is fouling up? Is it easier to hit free throws in the vacuum of the bubble?
Plus - which teams should be the most worried about their performance so far.
