The NBA marquee night has arrived again, with TNT heading into week 2, and hopefully featuring 100% less bizarre pseudo-documentaries about Draymond Green punching a teammate. The Sixers and Lakers are once again in action, which is kind of a bummer based on their first respective games of the season.
The Sixers will be facing off against the Milwaukee Bucks who enter the season as the odds-on favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. Philadelphia has been the buzziest challenger to their crown with people buying into just how much damage a healthy Joel Embiid, a committed James Harden, the ascension of Tyrese Maxey and a fortified roster that is deeper and more skilled on both ends.
