MLB and NFL went through this. MLB crowned a champ and NFL seems on their way as well. They had setbacks and postponements and made adjustments.

The nba has only released half of a schedule bc they expected postponements. Worst case scenario is that they have to come to a complete stop at some point. Even if that happens, they already completed a portion of the season. Thats a win from a business standpoint.

Aside from being able to examine the financials, the nba seems to be doing well with the hand their dealt. Plus this is gonna make for a whole lot of parity in the standings come playoff time.
