New York Knicks fans have spoken, and their message is abundantly clear: Next season is, in no uncertain terms, NBA Finals-or-bust.
James Edwards III of The Athletic ran a poll in which fans of the Orange and Blue could offer their thoughts on a number of key topics. When it came to the question of how far the Knicks must go for next season to be considered a success, those who answered did not hold back. Over 70 percent of them believe New York must at least make its first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999.
