According to ESPN’S Adrian Wojnarowski, there have been talks of not only cancelling the rest of the regular season and thus moving straight to the postseason, but the idea of shortened the playoff series to a best-of-five instead of a best-of-seven series.
From Woj's report:
"The NBA has been considering numerous contingency plans, which include playing only several more regular season games, shortened early playoff series' from best-of-seven to best-of-five, but everything remains fluid, sources said.
Teams are hoping that the league will soon give direction on possible drop-dead dates for starting the season, but the NBA doesn't seem to be rushing into locking themselves into those scenarios. NBA owners are awaiting the league's financial projections on lost revenues, which are expected to be shared with them soon, sources said."
