It's not their fault there were only 26 teams at that point. It was still a fully completed season without a stoppage in the middle of it. Not even close to the same situation

A 48 game season is not a fully completed season.
Sure once it started near the end of January, it didn't pause... but it's literally not a fully completed season. 48/82 games is a huge difference from 70/82 followed by potentially 5 more before a gruelling playoff run.
Whatever, you do you. I just don't get the fan mentality of hoping to lose. We may miss the playoffs for another 7 years suddenly, I'll always take the opportunity to try and win over actively cheering for a loss.
