Brooklyn’s first performance of the 2021-22 regular season did not go as planned.
Brooklyn fell short against Milwaukee, their accursed playoff rival, 127-104 on Tuesday’s season opener, a night in which the energized Bucks brandished their glimmering championship rings in the faces of the Nets before laying down a thorough beatdown. Milwaukee took the lead after the first two minutes of the game and never looked back. It was, in a word, embarrassing. Perhaps a little humiliating.
Safe to say, Steve Nash and crew will have a lot to work from when analyzing footage from the opener.
