Lawrence Frank put the onus for the team's poor play on Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson Thursday when he told WFAN that their play is a big reason "why we're in the situation we're in". Without exempting himself, Frank said "our leaders have to show the way" through "preparation, effort, body language" and "the switch doesn't go on all the time". As for benching Sean Williams, Frank said it's about "reinforcement of good habits vs bad habits". Rod Thorn adds, "The coach doesn't shoot the ball. The coach doesn't allow straight lines to the basket."
