I fell asleep before the end of the game last night, a game improbably won by the Knicks after blowing a 19-point, fourth-quarter lead. Ugh.
I was at work pretty late and tuned the radio to the game when I got in the car to head home. It was on ESPN radio, 1050 AM, which doesn’t come in very well around hererned the game on the radio. I thought I heard that the team was up pretty big, which was a shock given that Memphis is a borderline playoff team and the game was in Tennessee.
I tried listening, but the static was too bad. I tuned into Y-Rock on WXPN instead and heard this edgy, straight-up rock song called “All Better Now” from a band called Earl Greyhound and didn’t know until I got inside and turned on the tube that the Knocks (a deliberate misspelling) had dithered away 11 points.
From that point, it got truly ugly with both sides finding it difficult to drop the ball in the bucket and the Knocks somehow finding just enough inside to outlast the Grizzlies.
That fortitude, if you will, allows me to look on the game with some optimism, though this remains a badluy constructed team. Expect too many nights like this as the season wears on.
