The game between experienced teams and youthful teams takes center stage in the NBA tomorrow as the Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Adding a little conversation to the matchup is the pregame analysis of NBA legends Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
Pierce is known for his strong work ethic and solid training schedule, and it looks like he is siding with the Bucks who are playing after a good rest. He said, “Older teams don’t really benefit from early games when you gotta wake up for the afternoon games. Since it’s in the evening, I got the Bucks.” during the podcast with Garnett.
