It’s finally here. The Brooklyn Nets take on the Miami Heat in the team’s home opener at Barclays Center, marking the first time that Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry, Andrei Kirilenko, Alan Anderson, and Shaun Livingston step on Barclays’s herringbone-patterned floor in the regular season as members of the Brooklyn Nets.
Because of that, because of the monumental nature of this game, with the defending champion Miami Heat as opponents, here’s a position-by-position breakdown of tonight’s matchup. Let this serve not only as a guide to tonight, but a brief on how the teams match up overall throughout the season — and, hopefully, in the playoffs.
We also compare how the players have looked in head-to-head matchups, and break down their middle names, because The Brooklyn Game has analysis you just can’t get anywhere else.
