The 2021-2022 NBA regular season starts tonight. WHOO-HOO!!!

Given the number of contenders in each conference, albeit limited, this is going to be the most wide-open title run for quite some time.

Look at the variety: teams like Brooklyn, defending champion Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Miami in the East, and the Lakers, Clippers, Phoenix and Utah in the West.

Add the four Play-In participants from both conferences (which still ranks as one of NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s best moves), this NBA season will be “FAN-tastic”.

(By the way, feel free to peep my podcast’s 2021-2022 NBA Preview on YouTube for a more in-depth analysis.)
