Spurs in three. :p
Finals MVP- Matt Bonner
If it wasn't for the long lay-off, I'd say Spurs in 5. But my fear is that they'll have lost the momentum and intensity they built up agains the Nuggets, Suns and Jazz. The Spurs are notoriously slow starters (witness the first game loss to the Nuggets).
I can actually see them losing the first game at home, which would cause them to lose home-court advantage. But that's when the Spurs tend to get their ass in gear and start buckling down. I really hope I'm wrong and that they win this in 5 or 6, but I would not be overly surprised if this goes to 7.
Lebron is playing off-the-charts, and he's getting the help he needs. Verajao, in particular, can be a real X-factor for the Cavs.
That being said, the Spurs have a whole slew of guys (outside of the Big Three) who can be X-factors: Finley, Horry, Oberto, Barry.
I think in the end, it's the Spurs Championship to lose. We've got the experience, we've got the better coach, we've got the deeper bench, we've got Home-Court Advantage, and most of all, we have Tim "GPFOAT" Duncan. And guess what? He ain't injured. So watch the fuck out. Spurs in 6.
I see the Spurs in 5 or 6 and the Cavs i am curious if they will really double Timmy like crazy and force our shooters to beat them which they certainly can. If they play Duncan that way he may not get finals MVP, which won't matter his legacy is going through the roof with this 4th title either way.
