    Nets to fire coach Lawrence Frank this week

    "According to a Yahoo! Sports report, the Nets have decided to fire head coach Lawrence Frank early this week.
    Frank led the franchise to an 0-16 record this season, one game shy of the NBA's all-time worst mark. He will coach the team Sunday against the Lakers, an ignominious end to his up-and-down tenure in New Jersey. The plan is for GM Kiki Vandeweghe to take over coaching duties, though veteran assistant John Loyer could get the job."

    I guess the Sacramento loss did it. They already assume they will lose to the Lakers LOL.

    They will beat the Lakers saving Frank's job for the next 15 years!

    They just need to put that guy out of his misery. Its not his fault. The team traded their most dynamic player, and add the INJ you ahve the shit team called the NETS.

    The next coach will be fired also if the roster is of the same make-up. They need to spend their money on talent, and better scouts for the draft.

    This is almost like doing him a favor. I don't think I'd enjoy coaching an 0-16 team no matter how much you're paying me...

    That'd be an awkward game to get fired after.

    How about coach Mike D'antoni of the Knicks. That has to be the most stressful team to coach.

    The lakers should kill the nets by 30+ points the bench will probably have a lot of time to play

    Can't argue with that. Especially when you gotta deal with all the immature shit Nate Robinson does day in and day out.

    It seems teams usually respond to these firings. Any chance the Nets cover tonight? I think they will play inspired in an effort to avoid the record 17 game losing streak to start a season.
