There is no doubt in my mind that you should win, I just doubt that you will. Especially with Stern in charge and LeBron playing against you.
...and wisely so!

Spurs in 5. BOOK IT!!!
We'll See!!!
why don't you wait till we play at least one game before making your predictions.
I like y 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!)
And you didn't bother to register until last week.

Why is this a problem for you?
Has Duncan gotten that salty taste out of his mouth from earlier this year? http://slamonline.com/online/2006/11...ns-tim-duncan/
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?
Timmy jumped so high I don't know how Lebron was able to elevate over him. I never knew Duncan had hops like that.
actually guys, the bitter pill for the spurs in this series is not lebron alone.....
new jersey is very tough because of its solid players (jkidd, carter, jefferson) so don't just negate them....
detroit is always on high gear given the outcome of the games in the series is always grind-it-out until the last secs....
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....
and i don't know how the spurs will deal with them....
it always sucks when you don't know the strengths of you opponent....
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.
It's your world, dogg.
Nothing wrong with your thought but it ain't gonna happen!
does that make him a better player?
i believe duncan is better than kobe..... what'd u say?
And the Lebron Show will include a guest star named "Boobie"..
I think the Cavs will win it in 6, I think they have played better defense (by far) than anybody in the NBA this postseason. 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 at ude 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.

More Hot? Did you watch game 5 of the Utah Series?
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.
