Game 1 -Milwaukee vs. New York:
For the first time since 1984, the Bucks will open their season at home. That, coupled with the introduction of Greg Monroe into the lineup, should give the hometown fans a lot to cheer for. I expect the BMO Harris Bradley Center to be rocking when the Knicks come to town.
Sure Carmelo Anthony will be returning, but he will have a whole lot of new players playing with him, as the Knicks return a league low of 24.1 percent of their minutes on the floor from last year. Melo won’t be able to do it all as the Bucks will do everything they can to keep him from scoring and he has some injury rust to shake off.
The Knicks may very well improve from last year’s league worst record, but it won’t start in game one.
