thanks amare, you're a pretty alright guy :tu
you're probably right...as long as he doesn't somehow continue to collect all those points while not making field goals
Don't be a fool.
The Cavs won't be as easy as you think.
As long as LeBron doesn't average 30 FT a game in the Finals the Spurs will win this one easy. I'd honestly be surprised if the Cavs win one game. Should be entertaining to see all these cocky Cleveland fans get owned.
Spurs win in either 4 or 6.
Just like the Jazz were? Only team that could beat the Spurs was the Mavs and they choked. Don;t fool your self...a one man team not gonna beat the Spurs :elephantQuote:

i don't think it will be quite as easy as most are thinking either...depends on the mental focus of the cavs as this will be their first finals while the spurs are used to it. daniel gibson doesn't look fazed at all when he gets his hands on the ball and ilgauskas can play in the paint. he was in a funk towards the end of the season but i think that was all about the stillborn baby they had. anyway, i'm looking forward to it, the cavs need to go in with the attitude that they have nothing to lose and just be loose, lebron will be ready, it's a chance to show his stuff on the big stage and even up on the bling with his friend, wade
um, a one man team? that was the other night, you must not be watching tonight's game. look, i think the spurs will probably win, but it's not going to be as easy as your premature ass predicts...and i know all about your premature ejacs from throughout the season so don't get me started.Quote:

The Spurs are good enough to make the Cavs a 'one-man team' again.
Has Lebron actually played a team worth a damn in this playoffs yet? Washington, NJ, and somehow Detroit chokes? Lebron just cakewalked to the Finals, while the Spurs put away solid teams. I'm disappointed because now when the Spurs win, the world will talk about what Lebron couldn't do rather than give the Spurs props. Sad.
Thanks Amare ... sounds like you're a class act..
spurs will not sweep
they always lay a egg in game 3 up 2-0
Meh, you could also say the Jazz and Nuggets didn't do shit either, don't give me this crap about *solid* teams in a lame attempt to diss the Cavs when they should be congratulated on getting to the FInals, same as the Spurs (which I did congratulate). Everyone knew the Suns/Spurs series was pretty much the series of the WC this season with the other two matchups just filler and the Warriors took care of the Mavs for the Spurs which just made the Spurs' path even easier than was initially anticipated. Anyway, the Cavs got a really lucky draw with the Wizards and the Nets should be a better team with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson but they underperform and IMO, Carter's a whiny cancer and their crap regular season record had a lot to do with Jefferson's injury more than anything else. So yeah, they lucked out with those two teams but at least give them credit for beating the Pistons who were up two games and took the fifth game to overtime...this is only the third time that's happened (coming back from 2-0 deficit to win the conference finals). All I know is, they've swept a team worth a couple of damns and Lebron has a great knack for scoring with or WITHOUT the field goals, good luck in the Finals.Quote:

Don't even know why you spurs fan can't see Amarelooms is trying to jinx your team but......I mean it's not like I really care or anything...I'm just saying.
There is no such thing as a jinx. There is only good basketball and not-so-good basketball. The Spurs play good basketball. Spurs in 5. BOOK IT!!!Quote:

I like cocky fans though, makes it easier to shut them up when they are proven wrong.
I have been reading this board for a long time (I just don't always write), and believe me, you don't shut these guys up easily. They will whine until there is no tomorrow or ref bash for pages on end. (I've seen it!)Quote:

Why would you think it's a problem? I'm sure you just sat here reading quietly for years and never felt the need to even register until last week and now you can't seem to stop posting. Why wouldn't you think someone would find that funny? Did you get your account banned or did you just get tired of being made fun of?Quote:

cleveland earned the right to represent the east because of two reasons:
1. lebron james - he creates for everybody....unfortunately, it's not his scoring that is difficult to check but his team-playing skills.... he can involve anybody, anytime in a given night.... just like tim (that's why i admire both of them as team leaders)
2. defensive philosophies that GP himself shared w/ MBrown....
so, the bitter pill will be the defense of the cavs that has carried them all along the playoffs....
but the spurs will always have the big edge....
Cavs D sucks
Unless Lebron averages 40ppg and a triple double, this series is over in 5.
yeah... their D sucks....Quote:

My non exixtant account was not banned. I signed up and started writing when someone started a good thread about the Bobcats. Actually my posting has been limited, but now that I'm here, it's fun to speak my mind. Sorry, I don't feel made fun of. I've read this site long enough to know not take anything personally.Quote:

Defense is what wins championships, San Antonio has better offensive players than Cleveland does, just like Detroit did, however any perceived advantage in that category goes right out the window when you consider tha Lebron James makes his teammates look like all-stars on a nightly basis. Duncan does as well, don't get me wrong, but Timmy will not take over games in this series the way James will when Cleveland goes big against Duncan with their big men and also throwing smoe double-teams at him for good measure. Cleveland does a great job of sticking to their assignments so easy baskets will be a premium in this series. I'm going to predict right now that just like the series between Cleveland and Detroit, the Cavs will want to play a more deliberate pace while the Spurs will want to increase the tempo.
Also, I think Cleveland's backcourt will hound Ginobli and Parker and not allow them to get to the basket easily. These guys will be forced to start their drives from farther out and will not have the straight shots that they did against Utah and Phoenix.
Finally, and this is no disrespect to SA's run, but I am not buying into the idea that the West is somehow much better than the East in terms of top-end talent before the games have even been played. Cleveland could have made the same run through the same teams that SA did save probably Phoenix, Utah and Denver are really not that great. Finally, Lebron James is going to take over in the Finals just like against Detroit, he has shown that as great as he has been, he can elevate his game to an entirely different level in the playoffs, and now he has the entire team playing with the confidence and attitude of a champion. They came back from down 2-0 and made a complete 180 into the team that we are watching right now, the Cavs may not be as experienced as the Spurs but I think they are even more hot right now coming in, and alot of the time that is all that it takes.

How can you determine how good the Cavs defense is? They haven't played a good offense yet! Spurs played 1 (Phoenix) and 2 (Nuggets) - in the whole league!
hahaha, damn, cavs fans are already delusional. the east BLOWS compared to the west. there is no room for arguement
Cleveland played a decimated Washington team in the 'first round' this year, a team not that great to begin with. Essentially, they've only played 2 rounds in the postseason so far.
I don't see Cleveland making it past Phoenix, by the way, and Utah is a stretch.
