Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Memphis roadtrip II - - with some Shav Q&A..

4/6 3:02 EST On my way to Memphis, now bogged down in the Charlotte airport, victim of their weak wireless network. Decided to take advantage of the plug I found to charge up, then maybe move somewhere that I can get a signal and post. Hoping to reconnect with the Outlaw clan while out here, and get one last look at the team pre-playoffs.

NCAA finals tonight - - I’m wondering how Shav & Blake will deal with UNC - - somehow, there has to be some allegience to an ACC school, but Dukies are obligated to hate UNC and that may override any homegrown loyalties that Shav has - - and Maryland alumni probably would prefer to avoid giving those Tarheels anything to brag about…With any luck I may get to witness their reacton first hand

I was at Tyler Hansborough’s first game in the Smith Center in Chapel Hill and you could tell from the minute he hit the floor that he would be a special player at the college level. I doubt it will carry over very well to the NBA, but we will likely find out.

4:02 had enough connectvity to get out a couple of "tweets" . . . .seemed like I almost had Bedge for a minute, but it disappeared. Did you ever get the feeling that airports only exist to gouge people for $? Just finished my $6.50 quesadilla, contemplating a $2 bottled water, but I had one earlier so my water budget is kinda maxed. Very few people would get fat if they lived at airports - - finances would keep them lean.

9:20 EST About to go over to watch the game with Shav....maybe we will stay on live here....hafta see...

10:44 EST I'm here with Shavlik . . . any questions or comments....lets have 'em

2:05 EST Wish I had known in advance that we were gonna "Shav Live" but it just kinda evolved...it was alot of fun on this side too...will try to get some good pictures tomorrow (later?)...

Your reports are exceptional because you actually get to hang out with some of the players and their families. Tell Travis I love him and make sure he’s taking care of his asthma.
