GREENBURGH, N.Y. — With players already working out in the gym, the Knicks leadership -- team president Leon Rose, general manager Scott Perry and coach Tom Thibodeau -- stepped into a conference room at the training center and addressed last season’s success and the expectations for the new season ahead of next week’s start of camp.
Rose, who has rarely spoken since taking over last March, explained his silence and sounded very much like Thibodeau, who serves as the daily spokesman for the team when he did talk.
