Nets All-Access</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <p align="justify" class="style1">The Nets scrimmage today was played more like a full game than the scrimmages of the last week plus. Instead of a few disparate seven-minute periods, the periods were contiguous. We came in with two periods to go and the first thing you noticed was that Jamaal Magloire was a down-low force for the white team. The big man was being fed on the low block and scored – by my count – 13 points in the two remaining periods.</p> <p align="justify" class="style1">“They were a lot more conscious of getting me the ball,” said Magloire.</p> <p align="justify" class="style1">“I’m confident on both sides of the block and I know that when I get the ball on the block, I can score.”</p> <p align="justify" class="style1">“My legs are not feeling as heavy as they have been; I’m getting the lactic acid out of my body and my conditioning is continuing to improve as the training camp is going on.”</div></p> <p align="justify" class="style1">Nets Blast</p> <p align="justify" class="style1"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Kidd has been turnover prone. Most of them unforced. Can't blame the new ball this year, either - we haven't heard a single complaint about it. Yet....The Blue team - that would be the starters, plus Malik/Antoine/Sean - went to Wright on six straight trips at one point in the fourth quarter. Four scores. Very confident rising up on the gallop. He's getting there, and he'll continue to improve as long as he doesn't start cursing himself after missing three in a row. He wanted to put on a show today, too, because his college coach was watching from the sideline.</div></p> <p align="justify" class="style1">In the 'Zzone</p> <p align="justify" class="style1"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Frank will sit Kidd a few more games because of his summer with team USA, and Jefferson and Carter will sit a game together, probably next Friday at Boston. Frank hopes to have the regular group together playing in the final three games of the preseason....The player that has surprised Armstrong the most is Sean Williams, but the veteran guard said he has a lot of work to do. "He’s very athletic," Armstrong said. "He really doesn’t know the game, so just imagine when does learn the game, how good he's going to be. He’s good right now and he’s going to get better, especially when he learns to look back when Jason throws that ball. He’ll learn really quick after Jason hits him in the head six or seven times."</div></p> <p align="justify" class="style1">Sussman </p> <p align="justify" class="style1">*theres no way I'm going to try and read his*</p> <p align="justify" class="style1"></p>
Hopefully Wright stays confident. He looked good last preseason and then took a few steps back once the season came around.
Wow, great news all around from Magloire, Wright, and Williams.</p> and it seems the most recent Sez blog is all about the West Point field trip.</p>
The Kidd-Williams connection has the potential to be something special. Can't wait till the descriptions stop mentioning how unlearned he is.</p>

Not only is he a helluva basketball player, but he's entertaining as hell as well.</p>
I guess with all post up big men, you hear this at all the HS camps is they never get fed the ball, maybe that's why Magloire didn't stick out until this latest workout, when teammates were consciously getting him the ball. I'm sure more time we'll learn to use him better and put him positions to prosper.</p>

Maybe he just got his shit together, or maybe he's just healed up from that early camp injury.</p> But ya, I agree with you that in time, we'll learn how to use him better.</p>
