A moment in time with Z-Bo
cut short by people doing their “jobs”
Last night, the SLAM contingent of myself, Appleson, and Ben Osborne went to the Knicks-Nuggets game. That’s 4 people if you’ve lost count. Lang chose team loyalty and went out to Jersey to watch his Hawks. Not a good choice on this night. There will be game notes from both.
The Appleson Knicks-Nugs notes will be epic, but I have one important development to add.
I made some strides in my lifelong dream to become a member of Hoop Family. After Zach Randolph’s monster game (22 and 17, big plays down the stretch) I spoke with him in the locker room for a little bit. Moving beyond the small talk and basketball stuff, I asked how he was adjusting to New York with my favorite loaded question “So, what have you been up to?”
“Relaxing, playing video games.”
“Yeah? Anything else? Have you been enjoying the New York life? Going out at all?”
And then the NY beat writer media crush moved in so I had to drop it. To be continued…
It is a weird feeling to say the Knicks fought hard and beat a better team last night. The promise of Z-Bo and Eddy Curry was fulfilled for a night, Jamal Crawford had one of his lights out spurts where he can’t miss, Balkman was everywhere, and Nate Robinson showed amazing… discipline and restraint? Did that happen? Stay tuned for the Appleson Game Notes on this one.
Holly took care of the majority of the night with her recaps. Those will be up very shortly.

They turned the ball over a lot Sam…luckily we turned it on in the 4th…but there were a few instances where it looked like that game was gonna turn into a blow-out…orange and blue were resilliant tho…i’ll take the dub

damn those beat reporters! Can’t wait to read the game notes.. What a game it was. I feel this sense of pride for the NY after that game. I also caught BDSSP’s 50 biggest sports blowups tonight.. sooo funny.. the Iverson “practice” count was on. Kills me everytime.

Iverson blows me away. I’ve never seen him play live, but last night, watching from my friends living room, I would have believe you if you told me Iverson was a 20-year-old kid. Being in the league 11-years usually doesn’t have that same effect on people.

That sucks Caputo. Seeing AI live is a wonderful experience. Also I hope the Knicks have a good season but I still dare anybody to put money down and guarantee that. The jury, or at least my jury, is still out on the Zbo/Curry combo

I bet it is, but I’ve seen so many games on TV at in my room at home that I can imagine what seeing AI live is like.
