well, even if there is no regular season, there's still the post-season, so I hope they do not restart the games prematurely and impair the roster for the upcoming play-offs…
Play a few exhibition games to get the players loose and then start the playoffs. The players will be exhausted by the playoffs next year if they play too deep into the summer
NBA shouldn't be afraid of competing with the NFL. All sports are basically going to resume around the same time so not 1 specific sport will draw all the ratings. I'd prefer the rest of the regular season be played and then the playoffs. Seeding may have been set for the most part but those extra games do matter to some teams looking to move up and get home court. I guess some regular season games to conclude the season in some way is better than not at all; I'm strongly against starting the playoffs right away.
