NBA Finals 2002
The Showdown
Game 1 of the 2002 NBA Finals is comming and the New Jersey Nets are hoping that the power of Kieth Van Horn's 3 point shooting to help them win the series but with the presence of Shaq in the post they are also hoping that MacCulloch to help downlow. They can't start fouling Shaq any more because he has gone on a free throw shhoting grove and they are saying he has never shot better in the playoffs from the line. The only problem is with the Lakers...the Nets don't know who to guard! But the Nets are hoping that they won't need to guard as hard because of the great shooting of Kieth Van Horn, Kerry Kittles, and Lucious Harris who they know can hit nothing but net....The Nets think that they have a very good chance of winning and Kerry Kittles has a good reason for why....

"Obviously, (the Lakers) are a great team, but they're not playing their best basketball of the season right now ... and if there is any year to beat them, it's this year."
-Kerry Kittles, on the Nets' chances (New York Post
