GREENBURGH, N.Y. — When the oddsmakers put the Knicks at an over/under of 41 wins this season it was easy to look at the teams picked to sit atop the Eastern Conference and understand why the expectations weren’t high for the Knicks.
As hard as it may be to imagine for anyone who has observed the franchise for the last two decades though, the Knicks have managed to navigate through the offseason and training camp without a hint of controversy or troubles. And for the teams around them, headlines blare the sort of dysfunction that once was the specialty for Madison Square Garden.
