It's Deja Vu All Over Again

Something seems to be amiss in Netsland...

Injuries are a part of any competitive sport, and you expect them. But adding Marcus Williams to the injury list is just about the worst news on the eve of camp I can think of.

This isn't the spot for the Nets to be shorthanded, even though Williams backs up the All World Point Guard Jason Kidd. Kidd needs rest, and well, who will back him up and pare down his minutes now? Eddie Gill? Mateen Cleeves?

Time for Eddie and Roddie to get creative. Not that there's much out there, but that third point guard is suddenly a screaming need, even after Williams gets back. And Williams was said to have improved by leaps and bounds - we'll likely not see that until December at the earliest, even if he does return by November.

Tough break for the Nets, makes you wonder what's going on in East Rutherford. Is this some sort of Ratner-esque plot to have the Nets leave NJ sooner as damaged goods?

Why, just yesterday I was asking for the plan - now, it's going to be made up on the fly. Not the best of starts for the Nets in 2007 - 2008.
