I agree.  On the surface, starting in December seems strange.  The general feeling in the medical community is that the virus is likely to come back strong once winter hits.  I have to assume they have done a lot of research with their fan bases and got strong feedback people were going to be reluctant to attend games in person if the season started when it normally does.

As time passes, it looks more and more likely that baseball is not going to be played in front of fans this season.  Football might be the first sport in the US played in front of crowds.  I am guessing the NBA is thinking, let the NFL and/or college football give this a try for a few months and see how it goes.  
If it is successful, people will feel good about going to basketball games too.

If is doesn’t go well, they will surely push the start of the season back again.  Starting, stopping, then starting again would be such a logistical nightmare.  They probably want to avoid it at all costs.
