New York Knicks: The result of the Christmas Day game does not matter, just enjoy it

The New York Knicks get to play host to the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day in what continues the wonderful tradition of a full day of NBA action. Tip-off is around noon, but who wins or loses does not matter, everyone wins.

The New York Knicks host the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day. The game will be played in Madison Square Garden in what is the best time of the year to be in New York City.

For those who are not attending the game, it can be seen on ESPN and heard on local radio stations.

The Knicks play the Bucks, who are a very good team and Giannis Antetokounmpo is a high-profile star and potentially the NBA MVP.

He will be the best player on the floor, by a wide margin, but it is always exciting seeing megastars come play in the Garden on a big stage.

It like when we got to see Kevin Durant earlier this year when he put on a clinic in the Garden scoring 41 points earlier this year.

But, the Bucks are a decent team outside of Giannis. They are 22-10 and have one of the best record in the league.

They have almost as many losses as the Knicks have wins. The Knicks enter the contest with only nine wins and 25 losses.

However, due to the circumstances, with it being Christmas Day and all, the result of this game do not matter.

This game will not feel like the other 81 games played, it just has that special feel to it.

That is why we should all just sit back, relax, and enjoy watching it.

The Knicks are terrible this year. Almost unwatchable. However, the fans are becoming divided, well it is at least to become divided.

Would you rather see the Knicks win a little more and have an ounce of dignity to have going into next year or would you rather them lose as much as possible and get a better pick?

No matter where you stand on this topic we all win on the Christmas.

The Knicks get to play in New York City on Christmas Day. That is a beautiful thing.

No matter what, we all get to watch one of the best players on the planet in Giannis play on a big stage in the best possible place.

If the Knicks lose, great, that is the expectation and helps them in their quest for a higher draft pick.

If they win, it will still only be their 10th win and they get to win at home in front of a national audience in a big feel type game.

Either way, we all just get to enjoy the holiday, if you don’t celebrate the holiday, that big-game vibe will not be gone or go away, it is still a highly touted/marketed stage to be able to play on.

But, win, lose, tie, indifferent, the whole point of the holiday season is to just enjoy life and do things that make those around you and yourself happy.

It is an honor we get to spend out holidays watching the Knicks, regardless if you are a fan or not, they are a staple of the NBA and a reason we love, or sometimes hate sports.

As for the Bucks, they get to come to New York, in MSG, and still be back to their City by nightfall. The game is only at noon.

So, Knicks fans, Christmas fans, holiday season fans, writers, bloggers, casual fans, etc, I know it is a competition and winning or losing very much matters and this game could make a difference.

But for the Knicks-Bucks game,  the best thing to do is just enjoy it is happening. It will be a great stage and something wonderful to watch and enjoy.

Winning or losing the game does matter, and it count towards the season, but let’s all try to be positive and content either way.

Brighter days are ahead for the New York Knickerbockers, but just being the Knicks is good enough sometimes.
