New Knicks' Coach Mike D'Antoni believes that the team must compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference next season, according to The New York Post.

"We have to compete for the playoffs," D'Antoni told The Post on Thursday.

"Hopefully, the East stays that way, and it doesn't go where teams are winning games all over the place. We need to try to get in. If it doesn't happen, I'd be disappointed. There's no guarantees, but me personally, I would be very upset."
