Philadelphia 76ers bring LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to MSG for NBA Opening Day clash with champion Knicks

I have always felt that, above any other league, the NBA does a great job of trying to provide the best matchups on the biggest days.

The NBA Opening Day brings three phenomenal games.

The first is between the Celtics and Pistons, and the last one of the night is between the Spurs and Thunder.

Sandwiched between the two games is this one between the 76ers and the Knicks.

The Philadelphia 76ers are most people's pick to win the Eastern Conference this season.

Their additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are the main cause of all of the excitement.

Adding those two players to the lineup with Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe gives them arguably the best starting lineup in the league.

Their bench is a bit thin, with just Anfernee Simons and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the main players.

This team isn't built for the regular season; they are built for the playoffs.

There is obviously a long way to go before we get there.

There will almost certainly be a learning period for the team to play together.

There are now four guys on the team who could be the leading scorer for the team if they got the opportunity.

There will be some questions about matchups and defense.

There will be some struggles trying to play together.
