Finale

This will be an interesting game for lots of reasons, but it really sucks that Hayward got hurt. Every single player on Milwaukee’s roster would rather go up against a full-strength Celtics squad than have Hayward, or anybody, miss games due to an injury quite like the one he suffered on Tuesday.

The Bucks will be better rested, but perhaps more rusty than their hosts after their back-to-back. The Celtics might need more than one game to get acclimated to the massive roster moves the franchise made this summer anyway, though.

Either way, basketball is back and the Bucks are starting the season with one of the best players in the entire NBA on the roster. Life is good. Hopefully it gets even better and Milwaukee is 1-0 after Wednesday night.
