Liz Robbins of the New York Time reviews the Nets' current road trip, and their three straight losses.  

It's not helping that Todd MacCulloch is sitting on the sidelines watching.  He has missed the past eight games with an inflamed left foot, and there's no specific timetable for his return. The Nets are 3-5 in those games, their only victories against the Bulls, the Knicks and the Hornets.

The foot is healing, but probably not in time for this weekend's game back in Seattle, where MacCulloch played his college ball.
