The Knickerbockers of New York visit The Bucks of Milwaukee

8:30 EST

This game will sure be interesting if the proposed Harrington for Crawford deal goes through sometime this afternoon.  The Knicks will be without Crawford, their second leading scorer.  They don't really have a backup two guard who fits seamlessly into the rotation, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the start.  Do they move Q-Rich to the two and start Wilson Chandler and David Lee?  Do they plug in Nate Robinson and tell him to fire away?  Do they call upon Steph--okay, that won't happen.  But it'll definitely be interesting to see what kind of approach D'Antoni takes tonight.  The Bucks are an ideal matchup because frankly, they aren't very good.  They wouldn't be very good if Redd was playing, and they're pretty bad without him.  They've been able to stay competitive, beat some teams here and there, but I think it's safe to say that the Bucks are a preferable opponent for the Knicks in their current state.

Expect a nice outing for Ramon Sessions, an inefficient night from Bogut, Zach Randolph to get a good chunk of the Knicks' shots, and general ineptitude (Richardson)/offensive dynamicism (Robinson)/genuine intrigue (Chandler) from the swing spots.

Let's see what you've got, Crawfordless Knicks.
