GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Getting their starting point guard comfortable and up to speed with the new offense isn’t the only concern for the Knicks with just one practice to go before the opener. The player they brought in to anchor their defense isn’t moving as well as he likes.
“Right now I feel a step slow defensively,” Joakim Noah said after Sunday’s practice. “I have to do better. I have to do better for this ballclub. We all do.”
The Knicks open Tuesday night against LeBron James and the Cavaliers, who will receive their NBA championship rings before the game.
