00:00For the Knicks this season, another championship should absolutely be the goal. And yes,
00:05falling short can be disappointing, but disappointment and failure aren't automatically
00:10the same thing. I would judge how they lose, who they lose to, and whether they gave themselves a
00:16real chance this season. A hard-fought run that ends with them coming up short is very different
00:21from wasting an opportunity. And look, I get it. There's a new standard with this group,
00:26and that standard should be championship contention. The expectation can't be perfection,
00:31and nothing that happens next takes away that they already want. Here's my thing, Knicks fans.
00:36Enjoy the banner going up on opening night. Expect greatness. Ask the fair, but hard questions.
00:42Just don't let the demand for an encore drown out what made the first one special.
