Get out your red pens, basketball fans.
With the Toilet Bowl behind us, the Portland Trail Blazers still scorching hot and atop the Western Conference, the Charlotte Bobcats playing great defense and so much more, it's time to play teacher and dole out some grades.
What has happened matters. Expectations matter. The legitimacy of what has happened matters.
