The Tweet from Millsap can be seen in a tweet that is embedded below from his Twitter account.
Millsap's tweet said: "Tough loss. Keep getting better."
The Nets lost 127-104, and never truly had any control in the game, and in the first half the Bucks had a 19-point lead at one point.
There are still 81 games left, and it's not like this game will matter in May, but no team should accept getting blown out in the first game of a new season.
Especially when that team has Kevin Durant and James Harden, and they were facing the same team that sent them home in the playoffs (on their home floor) last year.
Millsap finished the game with just three rebounds in only five minutes of action.
The four-time All-Star will likely play a limited role on the Nets as he is turning 37years old this season.
