2005–06 New Jersey Nets season

(Redirected from 2005-06 New Jersey Nets season)

The 2005–06 New Jersey Nets season was the team's 39th season in the NBA. Without Brian Scalabrine, who was signed as a free agent with the Boston Celtics in the offseason, they began the season hoping to improve upon their 42-40 output from the previous season. They bested it by seven wins, finishing 49-33 and qualifying for the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.[1] The Nets lost in the second round to the eventual champions, the Miami Heat.
