Gonna be a good test for how bad (or not bad) our backcourt defense might be. Could see Maxey lighting us on fire.

The mere existence of this thread makes me happy. So ready for real basketball. So excited to see this new look Bucks.

Realistically, I think it takes us time to gel and really start cooking but even until then I think our top end talent still results in winning at a good pace.

It's. Dame. Time.

Maxey might honestly be the quickest first-step guy in the league, so he's gonna blow by even the best perimeter defenders. I'd be much more concerned if Philly's wings (Tobes, Oubre) light up Khris.

Just (blow them out), baby.

Yooo! We got Greg Monroe! Biggest free agent since Reggie white coming to Wisconsin!!!

That 2013 team.... It was supposed to be 8th seed material not tank job. Someone thought that starting 5 wasn't a tank.

Thanks for the 10 year history of opening nights. Adds an interesting perspective.

I agree about the cool 2021 opener versus the Nets. Left that game very excited the way the Bucks won on ring night (a traditional trap game) against a ballyhooed Nets super team that was not at full strength.

Philly might be a mess, but NBA talent often thrives when there is no expectation of success. The Sixers have no pressure on them, playing a Bucks team with a pair of NBA Top 75 All-Time players.

I am extremely ready for the day when we don't have to worry about Khris progressing, ramping up, or being on a minutes limit.

I see a loss here, but the sky will not fall.

I mean, that 2013 line-up is why i picked the username that I have.

Never forget the days of bag nights, Save Our Bucks etc., as we were mired in mediocrity. We've come so far since then.

Maxey was able to blow by everyone on the Bucks last season anyways. Even best player in the world, Jrue Holiday.

I just hope we don’t let Niang have his normal 10 wide open corners threes that the Bucks usually give him and he makes at double the rate of his normal accuracy.

Well, Delfino having his foot fall off was the difference between the ate seed and worst record in the league.

It definitely didn’t have anything to do with having the worst coach in the league and Caron Butler refusing to act like a professional because he was butt hurt that 18 year old Giannis was slowly stealing his job.

I have some very good news for you regarding Niang's current employer. It is not the Philadelphia 76ers.

I assume some random Sixer will go 6 for 10 from three and rip off his mask to reveal it was Niang all along.
