Deron Williams won’t play in Brooklyn with hamstring injury

“We have to bring the intensity level we’ve had in the last two games to the next game and carry it over”, Young said, referring to the Nets’ win “If we keep playing like we’ve been playing, we’re going to win more games”.

Aside from being in space (fairly cool) he has the prospect of running a London Marathon on a treadmill to look forward to. But they made it, and Peake is now beginning his six-month stay aboard the space station.

“I’m fine with it”, the owner said of Carlisle’s chastising of the team.

Williams, who suffered the injury on Tuesday night in Toronto, will undergo an MRI Thursday. Young later stripped ball from Barea, leading to Brook Lopez’s hook shot with 36 seconds left for a one-point Nets lead.

Cuban said he understood where Carlisle was coming from. “The names he’s passed and continues to creep up on are the greatest players in the history of our game, but that’s part of the process of greatness”. The Nets aren’t doing so hot this season either but ended a five-game losing streak with a 105-102 road win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

“I obviously go through it in Houston, Wesley (Matthews) gets cheered in Portland, Raymond (Felton) gets booed in Portland, so we’ve got a lot of examples that we can talk to (Williams) and get him through it. But it’s just another game for him – he’s a professional, he’ll be all right”.

“Put blinders on, play the game, stay within your team that you’re growing with and that you seem happy being around, ” Scott said. “The last thing I want is to miss that game”.

Lopez said of dealing with a loss in such a close game, “You know, it’s a little easier tonight”. “It was punch after punch, they just had one more punch than we did”.

There is not, however, much of a chance that Hollins will employ the zone defense that Dallas has perfected very much. But all that is for optics in the short-term, they don’t want to get too good too fast. “I can promise you that”. My mind-set’s a lot better.

Still, the Nets outscored the Mavs 58-40 inside the paint.

Dallas shot the lights out in the first half, as they made 24 out of 34 shot attempts, or 70.6 percent, to take a 64-53 lead at halftime. I expected more out of myself, ” Williams, who spent 2011-15 with the Nets, told ESPN earlier this week. “I’m happy in Dallas, happy where I am right now, and enjoy playing with this team”. That was the thing that took a toll on me the most, but I’m feeling a lot better now, so that’s not even an option. There’s never been a player like Nowitzki, and there may never be another one. I’ve seen a few allusions to Williams possibly not caring about Brooklyn, but it’s hard to make that case when he pushed himself to be out on the floor even to his detriment and was active in the community. “And I think that’s the difference between us being really good and us having up and down nights like we’ve had”. How sad, because I was looking forward to see Andrea Bargnani smack the hell out of his shots and Bojan Bogdanović cross him over in what will eventually turn out to be a 20 point loss for the Brooklyn Nets. Nowitzki’s historic moment will rightfully dominate the headlines – oh yeah, he hit the game-winner, too – but Barea’s spectacular performance won’t go unnoticed, either. Donald Sloan has taken advantage of the time he has gotten, and he had two points, six assists, three rebounds.
