Nets fire Frank after 0-16 start (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AlFuA_xVN0PMSzgqa_JNPS05nYcB?slug=aw-frankfiring112909&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)
The New Jersey Nets have fired Lawrence Frank, the coach told Yahoo! Sports.
Frank will not coach against the Lakers on Sunday night, when the Nets will have a chance to tie an NBA record with a 17th straight loss to start the season. New Jersey assistant Tom Barrise will coach Sunday instead.
Yahoo! Sports first reported early Sunday that Nets president Rod Thorn had made the decision to fire Frank. Thorn was expected to meet with owner Bruce Ratner on Sunday to inform him that he would replace Frank on Monday, but sped up the process after news of Frank’s imminent dismissal became public.
As the consecutive losses to start the season have reached 16, the return of several key players has done little to improve the Nets’ performance and that cost Frank his job.

LOL I love how all these teams think by firing their manager they're gonna change shit around. When your # 1 option (Devin Harris) misses half the games and your team is shit to begin with I don't think you can put that on the coach.

& Yi is still injured, another big guy for them.
for the first 10 games or whatever they were without Harris & Yi & they expected to win?
i put them at 0-17, Lakers are up 20 already lol.
also, it's even a harder climb for them because now teams don't want to be the team to lose to the winless Nets.
if they were 4-12, a team might sag off a little bit & the Nets could show up that night, but now expect to see 100% by each team, until they are up by 25 lol.

they're getting crushed by the lakers; Kobe might even be able to get a triple double by the end of the third if they keep him in.

That's gotta be fun for Barrise, I can see it now "Hey we need you to take over the team, good luck playing the defending champs tonight"
