The numbers posted by Vince Carter and Jason Kidd on Saturday obscured what could be the biggest news of the second half of the season: Richard Jefferson looked like the RJ of old. Jefferson scored 27 points on 12 shots, going 6-for-8 beyond the arc and displaying some, if not all, of the explosiveness that is his game. If Jefferson feels good, the Nets feel better.
