Game Info:

The first game of the NBA season will feature the banner raising ceremony for the Bucks who won the title last season as well as a chance for the Nets to show the Bucks it was just a fluke for them to have come out on top last season.

Game tips at 730 pm EST on TNT

Game will be played at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee Wisconsin

My Opinions:

Well seeing that the Nets would have made the NBA finals if KD's foot was 2 inches shorter, I think that they are actually the better team. However, I think that the one team that may beat the Nets are actually themselves... Them and the vaccine development team over at Pfizer.

Without Kyrie Irving, the Nets are not at full strength, though they are still probably the best team in the east without him. His absence really narrows the gap between them and the rest of the east though and any given night they could get beaten by their opponents, especially when they are the reigning NBA champs.

Rumor has it Giannis has been working on his shot and is apparently playing very well from distance now on the floor. Combining that with his ability to drive to the paint, Middleton's shooting and Jrue's passing, this team could easily make a run at a top 3 spot in the east again this year.

Prediction:

I think this one will be really close. I also think a billion points are going to be scored as it is opening night and both teams want to come out firing on all cylinders. I will give the edge to the Bucks tonight at home with the absence of Kyrie, but it's honestly a toss up.

Score prediction:

132-131 Bucks win in a thriller

Strong start for the Bucks, they dominated the first quarter. Giannis seems to be playing at the same level as end of last year with already 13 points and 8 rebounds!

In spite of KD having a pretty good game, fairly easy win for the Bucks. Of course, Giannis had the best game tonight. But Nwora and Connaughton were pretty helpful off the bench too. It's only the first game, but Milwaukee showed they were definitely ready to defend their title.
Oh, and of course, first wrong prediction me, for sure not the last...

From what I saw, the Bucks look solid all around, Brooklyn needs Irving I think
