NetsAreScorching Posts Revisited: Lawrence Frank Broken Down
Jul 14, 2009 2009 Offseason, Lawrence Frank, NetsAreScorching Posts Revisited
Over the weekend, I got a very interesting e-mail from NetsAreScorching reader Smack Adams:
Sebastian,
Blog-worthy Nets stories must be hard to come by during this fallow part of the hoops year. So I make this request: Re-run your Frank breakdown, revised to the extent necessary to reflect changed circumstances.
1. I expect that your readership has increased since you first posted the piece, so it would be new to many;
2. Frank-related posts always draw heavy comments. So many fans have an inchoate animosity towards the coach, but your post actually articulates the reasons you don’t like him. You would arm these people with weapons beyond the ridiculous (i.e., “he shoulda played Sean Williams 40 minutes per game”), obvious (i.e., “he stuck with Yi too long”), and the ad hominem (i.e. “Opie sucks” and “the Little General sucks”) that sum up most of the anti-Frank sentiment; and
3. I’m pretty sure my pro-Frank stance & analysis will agitate.
I live a land of Knicks fans who cannot see past the Hudson. Help me.
Best,
(Smack Adams)
I think this is a fantastic idea. After the jump, you will find my post Lawrence Frank Broken Down. After the post, I will add some thoughts that reflect the change in circumstance. I think hope I now have some more regular readers, so I hope to generate a pretty solid discussion. I am especially looking forward to Smack Adams’ response.
