The Milwaukee Bucks haunted the early-season Knicks last year.
Coming into last year, the Bucks were hailed as one of the best teams in the East, and they played like it during the regular season. With their front office landing Damian Lillard in a splash trade, Giannis finally found the sidekick he had been looking for. Brook Lopez (aka Splash Mountain) was still holding things down in the paint, Malik Beasley shot 41% from three, and Khris Middleton put together another steady season. Best of all, Knicks legend Bobby ‘Crazy Eyes’ Portis put together another 6MOTY-caliber season.
