On October 22, the NBA returns. But who's counting down the days?
Celtics and Knicks fans sure are. The Eastern Conference rivals open their season against each other, making their first games the most exciting in the league.
The pressure is on for Boston after winning the NBA title for the first time 16 years. It's especially inflated with three gold medalists coming back from Paris. Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White were tasked with helping Team USA to its fifth straight title in the Olympics. Can the trio handle the pressure of the NBA?
They'll have a tough start as they host Knicks. New York fell just short of its first conference finals since 2000, but the franchise had an electric run behind Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. The Knicks are fired up, and nothing starts a potentially historic season better than downing the reigning champs.
