I’m sure owners fought hard for those 5 games.

Oh no not one of those condensed seasons again. That was so brutal on the players after the lockout. Rose had a ton of issues that year with his back and groin and he kept rushing back. I believe that played a significant part in him tearing his ACL.

What do you want them to do? They have to get back to normal schedule. They were also due to lose a ton of money if they didnt start then. I think we the NBA move to this schedule yearly now though. They been wanting to push back the start of the season to Christmas time.

From my understanding is this season will still go longer than tradition so games are spread out and we don't have a 2011-12 type season where teams are playing back to back to back's.
I also think pushing back to Christmas to start every season is a mistake. Not sure what they're trying to aim at here, unless its to have their playoffs be independent of any other sports playoffs.

All a money game, I believe both players and owners stood to lose a lot of money by pushing it back to January. Not sure how they calculate that but it is what it is.

I saw something where they wanted 20-25% fans. But Im guessing that hinges on local regulations. Don't see that happening in Chicago anytime soon.

Avoid other sports. They said the season will end at the same time as normal with this schedule. They are probably going to relax on load management due to the short turnaround. They had to start then or they would have lost over half a billion dollars

I was hearing 25-50% depending on local regulations...I'm guessing Chicago will keep it to as low a number as they can. Will be interesting to see how it gets implemented
