Rod Thorn isn't the only one backing Lawrence Frank despite the team's 0-7 record. The two coaches who beat the Nets this weekend--the Sixers' Eddie Jordan and the Celtics' Doc Rivers--praised Frank. Jordan, a former Nets' assistant, called the team "well-coached" said they put up a "hard battle". Rivers said simply, "I think Lawrence has done a fantastic job but has nothing to show for it...that's tough."
