PrintThe Nets finally put an end to their Summer League losing streak, beating the Pacers 80-69 in Orlando on Tuesday night. After trailing most of the game, the Nets took the lead late in the third quarter and then pulled away in the fourth.Terrence Williams led the way, finishing with 24 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Damion James was active all night, but took over in the fourth quarter and finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, though he shot just 4-for-13 from the free throw line. Derrick Favors looked a little more comfortable, scoring 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, but had just three rebounds in 29 minutes.
In a post-game interview with NBA TV's Rick Kamla and Steve Smith, a confident Williams talked about how he recently told Avery Johnson how he preferred to play point guard and how Johnson told him the position was about leadership, providing "a little bit of sugar, a little bit of salt" to teammates.

24/7/7 is great for twill but… 9 TO’s?! he tries too hard with some of these passes.

that's the weakness he has to eliminate.
TO’s! He passes to blank areas sometimes. (On the other hand he doesnt know these guys, do0esnt know when they’re gonna zig vs zag)
Damion James
Shot a lot… but had a efficient 4th quarter. And they work hard on defense. Derrick Favors hit a left hook a right hook, and a 19 fter… nice!
I agree
If the Nets whiff on Lebron, I think they may already have a James that can step up and fill the 3/4 spot nicely
Yi Jianlian would have had more rebs fall in his lap than Favors grabbed...

Jiro, your post makes me yearn for Yi...a little..
I had some success with him in 2k10……
Favors, baby.
He shot 62% from the field
Yi played about 100 games for us, did he ever shoot at that pct. I think the only thing he did around that number was the amount of stitches get got from Swat’s elbow.
Favors still hasn’t shown me anything on D. James looked promising but we definitely need a shooter. James and TWill are scorers who don’t shoot well at least from the first impression I’m getting of James and we know about TWill’s shooting.
(imitating shane gayle below) favors shot 25% the first game...
but of course, that doesn’t count. ;)

favors had 9 rebs in the first game
but of course, that doesnt count.
Great game
It was nice to see T-Will develop. He has to cut down on the turnovers.
D James. He’s gonna be a great player off the bench
Favors. I’d love to see more of the post game
T-Will is trying he can be a big point Guard
I personally prefer him at the 2 or 3 tho. It’s nice to have that psuedo second point on the floor. He will make better decisions. Having a ex-PG as your coach will just help that.
The NETS are coming!
could these guys play well against the rest of the nets?
Would be an interesting matchup
Damion James & Connor Atchley were great second fiddles to Durant at Texas
Damion James and Connor Atchley were great second options to Kevin Durant at Texas.
Atchley is no one’s image of an ideal NBA big man, but he manages to get open and hit the jumper after the star is double teamed and kicks it back. Atchley is like a poor man’s Ryan Anderson.
James also only played one season with Kevin Durant,, and James improved his game with Durant gone. It’s nice to see James do well and show that he can be an L. James backup.

I don't like the 9 TOs
but another good game for T-Will
18 6 and 6 might not be far fetched next season, especially if we strike out in Free agency

btw
Looks like someone’s jump shot looks a bit smoother. Keep working T-Will
"No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."
I didn't get to see the original broadcast
and thought Favors was going to look horrible after reading posts here on Netsdaily. Then i watched the game and he didn’t look bad at all. He needs to be more assertive but He goes after every ball and hustles. He made shots with both hands, hit a 19 ft jumper and look decent in the post. He needs work but we all know that.
This is from one of the articles ablove from the Daily Oklahoman regarding Favors. Since he doesn’t have a bias, I thought this was interesting.
“Derrick Favors: Dude will be a monster. He can post, step away from the basket, run the floor and finish on the break. And when he gets it on the block, he can turn either direction and finish with both hands. I’d like to see him hit the glass harder than he has through the first two days, though. But offensively, he will be hard to stop when he gets the hang of things. He showed toughness and composure Tuesday after a sluggish start Monday. And his body is extremely well built. With a great coaching staff in New Jersey that includes Avery Johnson and Sam Mitchell, look for Favors to develop fast. "

Much more physical team
TWill, DJames and Favors have NBA bodies. Read the out of town coverage and people were impressed by their physicality and efforts.
