With James Harden and Kyrie Irving healthy, the Bucks will face a full-strength Nets on the night they raise their championship banner.Ī primetime blockbuster under the bright lights of LA.Ī matchup between two of the league's best Big 3s, this will be the second meeting of the season between the Bucks and Lakers, featuring the star trio of Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Kevin Durant's sneaker was the difference in Game 7 of the second round last season, that could have ended the Bucks campaign in an alternate universe. What better way to tip off the season than against the star-studded Nets on opening night? The Bucks are going to let it fly this season and create even more space for The Greek Freak. Meanwhile, Rodney Hood, who is coming off a couple of injury-riddled seasons, is a career 36.7 percent shooter. In his last stint with the Bucks, Hill led the NBA at 46.0 percent from deep, while Allen connected on 39.1 percent of his triples last season with the Grizzlies. While their offseason moves haven't lit up the headlines, the front office has added even more shooting around Antetokounmpo - a formula that proved successful last season as they were one of the best 3-point shooting teams, finishing the regular season eighth in the NBA in attempts and fifth in 3-point percentage. P.J Tucker, Jeff Teague and Bryn Forbes all played a big role in the Bucks' championship run last season and in their place enter George Hill, Rodney Hood and Grayson Allen.
This is your reminder that he's still (somehow) only 26 years old.Īntetokounmpo enters the season with the confidence of a champion and less pressure on getting over the hump, which could result in a free-wheeling season where he takes his game to another level.Įxpect him to be firmly in the conversation for MVP and DPOY once again this season - one that could be his best. Will it be a championship hangover or will the Bucks earmark themselves as a dynasty? This season is going to tell us a lot about this group.Īntetokounmpo's resume is already Hall of Fame-worthy with an NBA championship, Finals MVP, two regular-season MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player of the Year award, five All-Star selections, an All-Star Game MVP and five All-NBA nods to his name. The race in the Eastern Conference alone will be even tighter this season with the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers all vying for the top spot, and the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics just in the tier below. Can Giannis Antetokounmpo add his name to that list? We haven't seen a team defend their title since the Golden State Warriors in 2017-18 and before that the 2012-13 Miami Heat - two dynasties led by generational talents. It's one thing to get to the mountain top, but staying there is an entirely different task. With a banner hanging in the rafters, the Bucks will go from the hunter to the hunted, getting everyone's best shot on every given night.
