I guess it depends on if the NBA wants James to win or if the Spurs have Horry take him out early.

Couldn't pay me to watch a NBA game. Would rather watch soccer, that was on 4 channels by the way down here in Guadalajara last night and NO hockey, bummer.

Sorry for being OT, couldn't help myself. :lol:

Spurs in 6....but it could go 7...the Cavs as a team are not THAT bad...they play good team defense and of course they have LeBron....

Tim Duncan will win another MVP...and if you think the Spurs would be anything without him then you are mistaken....Tim Duncan has got to be one the most under rated players of all time

Spurs in 6...Duncan will win the MVP.

I think the Spurs have more weapons than the Cavs and good enough defense to keep Lebron from going off in every game (though he'll have 2 good games, enough to lead the Cavs to 2 wins).

spurs hould roll through the cavs, i'm predicting 5 games, maybe 6 if the refs decide to call touch fouls everytime lebron gets the ball like they did with dwyane wade last year. just look at the competition the cavs had in the palyoffs: the wizards without 2 of its top 3 players, a nets team that only has 3 players that should be in the nba, and the pistons team led by a coach who is completely asinine. The talent Lebron has around him is pathetic basically. take lebron off that team, and they might win 20 games at the most. spurs are a better defensive team and are by far and beyond better coached than the pistons. only reason ghe cavs won that game is because 1) the pistons couldnt guard james, 2) flip saunders is a complete moron who has no business being a head coach at the nba or major college level, 3) the pistons folded like a cheap suit in the 4th quarter of game 6.

i didn't even watch the first game....bible study....and i didn't hear the score until this morning....i've made this prediction wednsday....i've been calling this finals the spurs vs lebron because this team is a turd without him... and bruce bowen is going to beat the everliving crap out of him...

lebron looked like an absolute idiot last night. "oh they are sending two or three defenders at me every time i get anywhere within 10 feet of the hoop. ah i got an idea, i'll just shoot over them and ignore my open teammates!"

Lebron needs his Scottie Pippen before he'll get his rings.

This is such a mismatch.

The Eastern Conference. :roll:

That said, in a few years the Cavs could be a force especially if my man Dan develops any type of game beyond jump shots.

Game 2 is officially a bloodbath. Spurs up by 25 at halftime.

On a side note, I am sick of the cross-promotion that goes on with the NBA Finals. At this point, I would rather soak my contacts in soured milk than watch 'Fantastic Four 2'.

And why is Shaquille O'Neal, of all people, running a fat camp?

This series is just showing how good these Spurs are....I really was hoping the Cavs would make a series out of it, but its not looking good at this point...

now the Cavs did come back from 2-0 against Detroit...but they were at least close in those games....

and detroit might just be the worst coached team that made the playoffs

And his Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright, Toni Kukoc, Dennis Rodman, etc., etc.

wow! no one picked a sweep! im glad that this is over!!! i am totally for doing away with eastern and western conference champs and doing a 16 seed playoff, and then the finals would be much more exciting. congrats to the spurs on taking care of business!

Robert Horry: 7 Rings. That makes me hurt for guys like Barkely, Malone, etc.
