"Richard Jefferson, who is rehabilitating from wrist surgery, is scheduled to see his doctors early next week. If the doctors give Jefferson permission - and if the Nets are still in the playoff hunt - he may return before the end of the regular season, April 20. ..."

Oh that's the game after the one we'll be at, but bringing him back early even if he takes the limited minutes that Thomas is getting surely will be a big boost.

It says he will return before the end of the regular season, which is the 20th. I'd imagine that if he does return, Sunday's game is the most likely time.

I hope the Heat don't play New Jersey in the first round, you guys are on a roll, and with Jefferson coming back, it's gonna be tough.

this is good news...can't wait!!! the nets are in their final playoff run of the season.

I've said it before: If RJ can come back at a reasonable high level, and be able to play at least 25 minutes a night, the Nets will be a terror in the playoffs--because NOONE will know how to play them. There's no tape of a healthy Kidd, VC, and RJ playing together, and there are no analogous teams with similar stregnths. No one will know what to expect or how to defend against them. RJ will be the secret weapon. I'm still concerned about playing Miami in the first round, but only because it is a five-game series, and it may take a few games for RJ to get reacclimated. Still, I like their chances to be the first #8 seed to win the title!!!

how long will shaq be grounded? because if the nets do matchup aginst the heat in the playoffs with having to deal with shaq, miami will look very human and beatable

I thought the first round was still a seven-game series??
