The Knicks host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight looking for their first home victory of the young season. The Knicks destroyed the Bucks when they first played them (in Milwaukee, even!) in the season opener, but Milwaukee was playing without the Greek Freak, Jabari Parker and OJ Mayo.

In all seriousness, tonight’s game has no special meaning. They’re on the road, facing the defending Eastern Conference champions and perhaps the best player in the game (certainly the best player of his generation). So a loss really wouldn’t be a big deal.
