NBA Season Tips Off

Months of endless waiting have finally come to an end as the NBA season tips off today. Only four games are on the schedule, including the Bucks vs. Sixers, Nuggets vs. Spurs, Kings vs. Hornets and the Mavericks vs. Suns. It would be very interesting to watch the revamped Bucks in their first game. The Nuggets will get to go against the Spurs in a rematch of last year playoff series. The Spurs could be without Manu Ginobili, who still recovers from an injury sustained during preseason. The poor Hornets have to open their season against the Kings who boast one of the deepest rosters in the entire league. The most entertaining match up without a question will be the one between the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks. For the reigning MVP Steve Nash this will be another opportunity to play against the team that let walk away as a free agent. It will also be very interesting how Phoenix potent offense will do this year without Joe Johnson and Amare Stoudemire.
