It also shows Zach being a weirdo. Who cares about the Steph crap. I want to hear about everyone else. Nice coverage by Alan Hahn.
http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/blog/2008/09/technical_difficulties.html Technical difficulties... Not a good day for some technical issues with the blog site. While Mike D (Journal News) and Steven A (Bergen Record) were pounding out quotes to share on their blogs, I was pounding my laptop into bits and pieces because our site kept crashing when I'd hit send. I managed to get the K-Berg photo up, but nothing else. So now that it seems like things are working again this morning, let's try this again. I'm up at the hotel here in Saratoga Springs preparing for the first practice of the year. Most of you have probably read the obvious headline moments from yesterday's Media Day. Here's a link to my story in the print edition. It was all Marbury, as expected. If you're tired of hearing about it for now -- pretty much all of the stories centered around that theme -- here are some moments to share that flew under the radar: * - Gallinari injury speculation grows with Dr. Berman's "sciatica" prognosis. All kidding aside, I think anything's possible at this point, including surgery. So I asked Gallo what he thought of a growing suspicion that he is a fragile player. He didn't get offended, but you could tell he didn't like the label. “It’s a thing that probably if I’m a journalist and I see a guy hurt, I would think about it that this guy is probably going to be hurt all the season," he said. "But it’s not true about me. I will be ready.” * - Zach Randolph said he heard the trade rumors but is fine with still being a Knick and vows to do whatever Mike D'Antoni asks of him, even if it means coming off the bench. "If that’s going to help our team win," Zach said, "then that’s what I’m going to do.” Funny moment came when Frank Isola asked him about the team drafting a player they expect to eventually fill his role as power forward and Zach quickly cut him off with a perturbed, "Who?!" Um, Zach, have you met Danilo? * - Chris Duhon isn't deferring to anyone despite Stephon Marbury's continued presence on the roster. I asked Chris if he felt because of Marbury's tenure as the starting point guard that he might feel like he should defer to him in practice. “You don’t defer, you go out and compete," he said. "I’m a competitor. I want to go out there and show and prove not only to myself but my teammates and the coaching staff that I can compete at a high level and play. I look at it as a challenge. Not making it a distraction, it’s a challenge.” * - Quentin Richardson has that swagger back from two seasons ago and you can tell he wants to take up more of a leadership role with this team. "I’m in a place where I know I will say something," Q said. "I will try and right whatever wrong’s been done." * - Jerome James says he's going back to Seattle after he sat mostly ignored at his table in the gym. At one point he got up, walked past Jamal Crawford's table and said, "Man, I'm going back to Seattle," which is a reference to the one NBA city where he was relevant to the media. Crawford replied, "There's no team there anymore." More to come this afternoon between the practice sessions. The morning session will be more drills and conditioning. * * Let's re-open the caption contest, since it seems no one was able to post on the previous entry.

Zach was being honest. Danilo might not even play this year.
