ESNY’s 2021-22 NBA Season Preview: The Nets have a target on their backs

Ah yes, the 2021-22 NBA season is finally here. The offseason is fun during the draft and free agency, but otherwise, it’s slow. Preseason basketball is a way for fans to whet their appetite, but let’s be honest, preseason anything sucks.

But basketball is finally back and we couldn’t be more excited. The defending champions will meet their toughest opponent of the 2021 Playoffs on opening night.

That’s right, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will host Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in the 2021-22 season opener. Even though the Bucks are defending champs, the Nets have the target on their backs entering this season.
