Deron Williams scored eight points with two assists in the Brooklyn Nets' 104-73 loss on Monday to the Spurs. GM Billy King said on the radio Sunday that Williams might be burnt out from playing consecutive summers overseas. Williams agrees with the basic premise of that assessment. “I didn’t take any time off. After last season, I never stopped working out. After the Olympics, the day I got back I worked out the next morning,” Williams said. “I thought it was the best thing to do, and now looking back, it probably would have been smarter to take some time off and get a little bit of rest, especially on my legs, and my ankles in general. “I took a lot of pounding over the last year because even though we had a shortened season, I was over in Istanbul, so I haven’t had a break since before then. I felt like I could handle it, and at the time I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn’t want to get out of shape. I wanted to just keep going.” Read more http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/nets/nets-crash-back-reality-spurs-article-1.1230750
