After coaching the New Jersey Nets for eight seasons Lawerence Frank was fired today. It was rumored for the past couple days that Frank would be fired due to his team’s dismal 0-16 start to the 2009-2010 NBA season.”I knew it was going to happen sooner or later because the Nets suck,” said Howard junior Shaq Mack, a Nets fan from New York. Not much was expected of the Nets before the season, ESPN.com had projected them one of the worst teams in the NBA this year. However nobody expected the team to start off this bad. The Nets are currently the only team in the NBA that hasn’t won a game. “I feel bad for the players I know they want to win,” said Desiree Simone, a sophomore Howard business major. The Nets currently own the second worst record in NBA history at the start of the season; the worst is 0-18.
As of today the Nets haven’t hired a replacement for Lawerence Frank yet, although fans hope that the changes will ignite a spark to the team that will eventually result in wins. “I just hope we can be a respectable team again, because right now we’re {the Nets} a joke,” added Mack.
