It comes down to the last paragraph. Can we stop the debate now?

"Both teams feature stout defenses that will make for low-scoring games that could come down to the wire. Duncan and James will have their moments. The difference is that San Antonio has other proven playmakers in Parker and Ginobili while Cleveland has ... who exactly? LeBron is good enough to win a game or two by himself, but the Spurs are too good as a team to let him do it four times."

How many teams' fans have walked in here, round after round and said they were gonna beat us in the playoffs the past 9 yrs? And all the reasons why.

And? If you weren't the Lakers (or last year's Mavs, by the skin of their teeth), chances are you were proven wrong. After a while, you just let them learn on their own.

A battle-tested Big 3 against a Big 1. I like our chances.

With Oberto taking over the starting job, and doing a great job so far in the playoffs, perhaps instead of:

The Big 3

We should rename it to:


THE FAB 5
