When LeTraitor left Cleveland last year, he kind of shunned all of Ohio, too. Cleveland much more than the rest of the state, but it’s easy to root against the guy right now. I think the world has overreacted to this – but part of that was the high pedestal he was on. And joining forces just seemed so un-Jordan-like!
We’ve kind of adopted the Knicks after moving here, and on a Thursday night toward the end of January, we went to Madison Square Garden (MSG) for the first time. And the Knicks were playing LeBron, DeWayne Wade and the Miami Heat. MSG is not historic like old Yankee Stadium was or Fenway Park is, but you could tell it had some old-school character about it. We bought new Knicks t-shirts and sported them to the game - Charlie's is of new Knick member Amare Stoudemire and Katie's is of young fan favorite Danilo Gallinari.
The Knicks came out strong, but were 3-5 points behind for most of the game. They came back to grab a lead in the 4th quarter – and the arena was electric! It was a great game for the Knicks, and a great comeback win. Stoudemire kept them in it early, and Gallinari and rookie Landry Fields pulled them through to victory in the 4th quarter. This is a good Knicks team that will finally make the playoffs and could at least compete for a first-round series win.

Magic Johnson was sitting in court side seats – that’s him in the Light Blue sweater. Two seats to the left of him is Tracy Morgan. There were quite a few celebs in the Garden. Carrie Underwood of American Idol fame was Katie's favorite celeb in attendance (they show the celebs on the big screen).
Katie pointed out some inconsistencies of the arena's name. The venue is called “Madison Square Garden”. But it is not on Madison Avenue, it is not a square, and it has no vegetation on site. At this comment, Charlie rolled his eyes...
