Earlier this evening the NBA released their slate of games for the season’s opening week and you’ll see a familiar face in the bottom left hand corner:

A nice, cool October night in Milwaukee will see a 2-ish hour period of white hot excitement as the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Cleveland Cavaliers to open the 2017-2018 season. This will also be the last home opener the BMO Harris Bradley Center will see, and boy howdy, what a start to the Center’s farewell season.
The 3-time defending Eastern Conference champs will possibly (probably?) be without All-Star guard, Kyrie Irving, and the Cavs will be working through some growing pains up top that we are all hoping the Bucks take advantage of.
With the home opener coming on the last night of the opening week, the Bucks will most likely open the season on the road and that is to be determined.
We already have our first public RSVP:
Yup I'm going!! https://t.co/7y710PDs5a

I’ll be there too, with my butt firmly planted in my upper deck seat. Let’s get rowdy for the home opener and slap some fives! The season is almost here!
