Madison Square Garden will be jumping tonight for what many are calling the biggest regular-season Knicks game in at least a decade.
Tickets for the matchup between the hometown ballers and the Miami Heat are sold out. But if you've got a spare $79,000, you can sit courtside near the likes of Knicks fanatic Spike Lee.
"We're going to kick LeBron's ass," Lee confidently predicted to the Daily News during a book-signing in Brooklyn last night. "We're going to win them all. It's like the old days."

The Heat-Knicks game, which features the Gotham-scorning LeBron James, attracted more buyers on StubHub.com than even their home playoff games in 2004 - the last year the team reached the postseason.
This morning before the celebrated matchup, King James held court at Chelsea club 1Oak - where balloons spelled out James' name - with Amar'e Stoudemire and Heat teammate Dwyane Wade. Stoudemire showed up at the club with model Amber Rose, and Wade arrived with actress Gabrielle Union.
The Knicks have won 13 of their last 15 games, losing a last-second heart-breaker to the Celtics Wednesday night. The question remains: Can they stop James?
"Who needs LeBron? We don't!" said Bruce Dines, 49, of Queens. "I'm actually glad that LeBron's not here. Amar'e Stoudemire has a chance to shine. You can see he's a superstar."
