Paul Pierce had heart. This was a good Nets team that made back to back finals. Got swept the Lakers but took the Spurs 6 in 03.

Watched this game at my folks crib like it was yesterday. Back when men played like men battling in their human life form.

If the Celtics won this series we would have had another Lakers-Celtics finals. Instead it was a boring sweep against the Nets

@@CGalum09 it would still be 9-4 in finals match-ups for Boston. And it wouldn't have been a sweep. Pierce would get you one. Bet Shaq would say the same. He knows the Truth!
