An "A" grade would represent a great success that nobody could deny.

A "C" grade should represent a team that competes every night and can win as many games as they lose

A "F" grade should represent a group of overpaid selfish me first players whose record reflects their real value.
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

LOL. It was a REALLY hard time deciding which option I should pick.

F but the fact that he had some nice draft picks gives him an F and a half a plus, but Frye is sucking now and he traded away another one of them for Steve Francis who we're begging to get rid of. So if Frye continues to suck, then it's really Lee, Nate were were the real solid draft picks, and while Balky is nice, there were much better picks available.

His trades were off the wall terrible and he overpaid for Jefferies and the rest of his free agents sucked. His best, and really only good trade was the Quentin trade, if Q stays healthy. Other than that, nada.

F and a half a plus.

hey of course he gets a big fat f but he did provide a coiuple of great moments:

- when marbury first got here. man was he ballin' and we were winnin'! what a breath of fresh air that was after the the deader-than-dead feeling that layden brought here. but h2o's injury and the kvh/doleac trade brought all that to a screeching halt.

- the buzz leadig into last season with lb here and all the young guys. man was i hyped for the start of last year. and when we went on the 6-0 streak and looked like we had it together and had something real to build on. christ, what a letdown after that.

i'm now with this team where i was with the layden teams. they're a piece of craap and not even worth watching. i still watch because i love hoop and remain loyal to the team while still feeling entitiled to criticize the hell out of them. but i don't give a s**t if i miss a game. what am i missing really? i enjoy going to the games because live hoop is still a thrill and it's fun booing and getting into it with the in-house kool-aiders. and i post here because i love talking to you guys. but this team is dead dead dead in the water.

isiah is a guy i've alwyas liked a lot because he's one of the very best players i've ever seen play and followed him going back to his high school days. plus i always liked his on-court demeanor and balls of steel. i think he really tried hard his own way with this team. but man isiah the player has nevr translated into isiah the executive. i'm not sure what the problem is but man o man have his dedcisions backfired on him evrykwhere he's been.

I have defended this team 24/7 for 33 years but I'm ALMOST out of hope. I really wish Dolan would make some moves tomorrow. If I was owner I would. 6 Players/coaches would be gone!

You know what- I give him a C- I think we forget how awful, and salary-cramped this team was when he signed on, plus with Allan's injury that screwed up the first half of the Marbury era. This team would look ok with a healthy H20. I would give him a a C if it wasn't for the Francis trade, and if he manages to let go of Francis without bringing in another broken savior, I'll put him back up to C. I know this year is super ugly, but I think it will be less ugly in the future. I'm still giving Isiah the rest of the year. Why not? If it doesn't change then, he's gone with an F.
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

If he took over a team that was bad at 37 wins and in 3 years hasnt improved it at all and it got worst why would that mandate a c?

plus - and maybe worst of all - traded away consecutive #1 picks in the years that they would have done us the most good and paved the way for the foundation of the team.

i'll say he deserves a D- (only redeeming factors being that some of the young kids show some promise & Q's very impressive play this season)
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
