Net loss

After going down to the last day of the regular season to qualify for the playoffs, the Nets were Swept by the Heat in 4 games. This is not a surprise. It did point out the Nets' lack of a dangerous 3-point shooter. But to paraphrase Richard Jefferson's complaint of racism after Team USA's poor showing in the last Olympics, "All we heard about was Hoiberg, Hoiberg, Hoiberg." Gee Richard, maybe it's because y'all could have used Hoiberg to shoot off the bench. Or maybe Michael Redd? Let's see, for 2004-05, regular season 3-point FG%:
Jefferson 33.7%
Kidd 36.0%
Hoiberg 48.3%

Wouldn't turn down that kind of help.
