Strong Wills

OK, so it's only one game, and apparently, the takeaway had nothing to do with the score.

Nets lose to the Pacers, get pounded on the stat sheet, but when there was continuity, Antoine Wright acquitted himself well, RJ's already ready for the season, Kidd didn't shoot it, but he's never counted on for much, and VC didn't even play.

But the story of the night might have been the two Wills, plus Hassan.

Not that I saw the game, but from all reports, it was nothing short of a miracle for Jay Williams to play as well as he did. Oh, the stat sheet doesn't show it, but it sounds like he wasn't embarassing himself, even though he's a totally different player than the one that was drafted by Chicago.

And Marcus Williams, although he didn't shoot well, made some good passes, picked up 7 assists, and showed that he'll contribute this year for sure.

Those two Wills, back up point guards both, could be one of the keys to the Nets season.

Along with that wild card, Hassan Adams. He's got the energy of the Energizer Bunny on crack, he's disruptive to other teams, and he's good in transition. Sounds like RJ JR...Looking forward to seeing him.

It's one game in a long, long, long season, but there's some hope to be found for sure.

Now, the Knicks tomorrow night. They're trying to right the ship, have some good young talent, and well, two former All Star point guards who ironically don't like sharing the rock. THIS should be interesting...
