The folks at Facebook aren't the only ones benefiting from the bad economy. Lawrence Frank is too. He'll be back for the last year of his contract after two 34 win seasons. THAT'S more surprising to me than the Spurs being knocked out in the first round.

Rod Thorn's decision comes a few days after guard Devin Harris told reporters he likes Frank but that some of the veterans had tuned out the coach. Great. Let's see. The last point guard to make such a claim about a Jersey coach was Jason Kidd-and Byrion Scott was out of a job.

Thorn said the economy 'would be a factor' in the decision. So it was. The Nets don't want to burn 4 and a half million on a guy that's NOT coaching, So Frank stays, with another chance to motivate the underachieving Nets.

Champ, Champ! What's with the Nets fixation? You're ga-ga over this team like Clark Gable over Josaphine Dillion. Call me when the team brings back Yinka Dare....maybe then they''ll have a chance to cook the boys from Big D.
