LeBron James and the champs. Opening night at Madison Square Garden. Under normal circumstances, as electric a scene as there is in the NBA. Things are still far from normal in New York. Already postponed once by Superstorm Sandy, the New York Knicks will begin their season today ( 5 p.m. on ESPN) against the Miami Heat, not sure what to expect but hoping it helps their devastated city in some way. The Knicks know that with the difficulties fans are facing, it may not be the usual packed house that would be expected for a marquee matchup against the team that knocked them out of last season’s playoffs. – Associated Press
