Miami coach Pat Riley put the onus on Larry Brown to make something happen now that he has acquired Francis and Rose. Riley said the Knicks' talent is "through the roof" and added, "The cupboard is full."

I for incomplete

If these guys come into next year better understanding whats expected and we find a style of play this year was worth it. If its more of the same disarray its a plain F

I love these posts, because they allow me to vent.

Any Knicks fan who does not give Larry a solid "F" has been watching a different team.

Put it this way: If Chaney or Lenny or Herb were our coach and was doing the same exact job (making the exact same decisions, inlcuding rotations, etc.) and had the same exact record, what would you give him?

EVERYONE would give him an F. Therefore, Larry derves an F as well.

It's not even up for debate.

Yeah, we'd probably suck no matter who the coach was, but he hasn't even taken advantage of our poor record and given the rookies enough playing time. Have our rookies really progressed throughout the season? Let's face it: They pretty much peaked during training camp.

I dont care what Larry brown does, its still just basketball, still just putting the ball into the hoop, still playing hard. 5 guys who dont know each other at the Y have better chemistry than these knicks.

if you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results

Im quite sure other GM's are jealous of the open pocketbook, lets be fair Isiah has an advantage over every team, but he just Fd it up.

Still blaming Isiah, and giving LB a pass.

Snap out of it...byron scott...better records with a roster with less time together and far less talent.

IF wins and losses don't matter, which for LB most of the Zeke bashers seem to ignore, than both Isiah and Larry get an A. Our team is stocked to the gills with ASSETS.

And I thought GMs were graded on assets as well?

Hey guys, there are people that will ignore all of LBs mistakes because of resume...briggs, martin, fish, I have no idea what you guys are looking at, but to give LB a pass because of his resume is weak.

no ifs ands or buts.

To give him a pass because he's ***** like you...well, that explains it a little better.

yeah, who is the superstar on our team? Jamal crawford? How about Isiah has spent a ton of cash bringing in over-rated players who dont fit together.

LB's a whole different monster to deal with. Remember its Isiah who brought in LB--my goal is to dismantle this entire organization and start it up again. I need to get Isiah OUT first, so I can bring in someone like Donnie Nelson, and let him disect everything. If he feels Larry should go, maybe they can negotiate a buyout. Isiah is first.

I can't think of a single way he's positively influenced the team. He's destroyed any chemistry or confidence w/ his 33 different lineups. He constantly bashes players in public. We still suck at defense. The only reason ppl will give him anything but an F is b/c he won a championship in Detroit two years ago. It's like if I took a course and got an A and failed every test the next year and got a B because it couldn't be my fault since I did so well before.

I like that analogy...

Does anyone here have to guess what my grade for Larry is?

F for every executive in the organization this year. The only person in the organization I'd give an incomplete to is Steve Francis.
