It’s another beautiful day in the neighborhood, as the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks welcome the New York Knicks to town, hoping to make the Knickerbockers the 12th win in a row.
(I have a confession to make: the Knicks are my favorite schadenfreude team. For anyone unfamiliar with this wonderful German term, it means “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.” It is terribly unhealthy to enjoy it too much, and it’s not particularly wholesome since it explicitly comes at the expense of someone else. That being said, I don’t hate the Knicks; I love to see the Knicks fail.
