Outside the locker room, there is another perception. Jefferson lost 49 games in '04-05 to a broken wrist, and 26 games last year to surgery. To most, that constitutes lousy luck. To others, it represents a trend. And for many, that is enough to dismiss the Nets as a viable contender.</p>
"Picking us not to make the playoffs really doesn't make sense, because we're adding two starters who can give you 35 points and a dozen rebounds -- and it's a young 35 points," Jefferson said, referring to Nenad Krstic and himself.</p>
"I'm only 27. The other thing is, when we were making the playoffs when I was 21 years old, everyone knew my name then, but that doesn't mean those were my best years. I was fortunate to be in the limelight early. But I'm just coming into my prime, if you combine ability with experience. I'm looking forward to probably my best three or four years."</div></p>
