the 2018-19 season started on the earlier side, October 16.  Crazy to think the finals could end 4 games before that day.

I wonder how they're going to try and "catch up" if they ever attempt to go back to the normal schedule.

I assume they absolutely want to start next season on Christmas.  But you obviously can't start Christmas, have an 82 game season, plus playoffs, and end anywhere close to June.

Normally the length of time between the end of the finals and the start of the new season is around 4 months.  This year, I'm assuming it's going to be a little less than 3 months (end sometime early October, start Christmas).

If you wanted to push it and say the off-season is only 2.5 months, then you could start the 2021-22 season around the end of October, meaning you'd need to end the finals around mid August?  Could you get a whole NBA season plus playoffs done starting on Christmas and ending in the middle of August?

Obviously the other question is # of games, but I just can't imagine they are in a position right now where they're looking to lower the # of games.
