Ahe start of the season, the NBA a wildcard was saved: announced only the calendar for the first half of the course. There will be no All Star, but they will stop as if there is. Be from March 5 to 10. The agenda after those days is unknown and the League did well to leave it blank because everything points to what it will need to do. tweaks to locate the 14 meetings that have already been postponed due to the health protocols created to prevent the spread of COVID-19. And the number threatens to continue increasing.
The season, despite having only 72 games per franchise, is being frantic by delaying the start to December 22. The announced schedule could not be more compressed with the teams playing four games a week. It will be difficult to fit the postponements if the second part of the course is similar.
The NBA already said that does not consider stopping the competition despite the fact that the pandemic is once again out of control in the United States. However, you may be forced to tweak the competition system. The creation of a bubble like Disney World will be the extreme case.
Of the 30 NBA teams, 19 have at least one postponed game. The worst unemployed are the Wizards, who have already had to suspend four. The Celtics and Suns have not been able to play three. Given the tight schedule, it has not even been possible to relocate the Rockets-Thunder of December 23, the first meeting that this campaign was postponed. Then another 13 have come, all since January 10. Since then, only on the 14th all the planned meetings have been held.
