In not surprising news, the Nets General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe will fire Head Coach Lawrence Frank if they lose, correction, when they lose to the LA Lakers tonight and tie the worst start of a season in NBA history. Despite all of the losses, blame should not be solely put on Frank due to constant injury problems and tough schedule, second toughest to the Chicago Bulls.
