Why the Pistons on the moneyline could be the play in today's NBA season opener vs. the Celtics

The NBA is here, and I am like a kid in a candy store.

The NBA is my favorite league, and basketball is my favorite sport.

This also means that all four leagues are in action starting now.

The World Series is on Friday, the NFL is on Thursday, and the NBA and NHL play every day.

This is the best time of the sports year.

College basketball will join the fray shortly, and of course, college football is in action.

This afternoon, the NBA season kicks off with the Boston Celtics playing the Detroit Pistons.

The Boston Celtics are at a bit of a crossroads.

Last season, they were up 3-1 on the 76ers before they lost the final three games, including a game at home, and were knocked out of the playoffs.

How did the Celtics respond to that loss? They decided it was time for them to part with a superstar, Jaylen Brown.

In fairness, Brown was expressing discontent with the organization and clearly didn't want to be partnered with Jayson Tatum.

The Celtics made a clear choice, and now they have to live with it.

Tatum will now be in his first full season after tearing his Achilles in the playoffs a couple of years ago.

Tatum shouldn't have any struggle with being the top option on the team.
