NBA Finals Predictions

First off, let me say that I think San Antonio is much better than anyone from the East. By the same token, I would say Dallas, Phoenix, and Utah were all better than any team from the East. But that doesn't mean this thing won't be competitive.

The reason I think this will be competitive is the same reason I was glad the Cavs won the last series, and that should be pretty obvious... LeBron James. He is simply the best, most dominating player in this series. As he showed in Game 5 against Detroit, he can win games by himself, something I don't think Detroit had.

Unfortunately, the Spurs have the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best players in this series, as well as a much better coach and a more versatile team. They're also better defensively and more efficient offensively. The Spurs have every single edge in this series except one... they don't have LeBron James.

So how many wins is LeBron James good for? Well, if Daniel Gibson plays like he did in Game 6, maybe 4. But I don't think that will happen. I think James will be fantastic throughout, and that should be good for a couple of wins. Beyond that, I really just think the Spurs are too good. Too good defensively, too efficient offensively, too well-coached, and too experienced led by Tim Duncan. All in all, I'll take the SPURS IN 6.

What are your thoughts?

i think SA wins in five or six.

but i kinda want the spurs to make a statement and just sweep CLE in four blowouts. it'd be bad TV, but I think the Cavs, minus Bron, would be in the bottom third of the league. they're almost the opposite of 'team.'

I'm going to post my prediction on Thursday...

The Spurs are a HEAVY favorite in Vegas

I also predicted Spurs in 6. But, I'm really serious about the Cavs needing to start gibson. I think it gives them the best chance to win. I think they shouold trade Hughes in the offseason cuz Gibson is ready and will be able to make a large positive impact on this team.

I think with Gibson and King James the Cavs are 1 player (not even an allstar just a good, solid 4) away from being champs.

Well... seeing as everyones saying Spurs I'm going to say Cav's. Actually scratch that, I'm saying Spurs too. I'm not that crazy.

Which isn't to say that I don't want the Cav's to win it as that would make for a pretty good series.

Everybody's jumping on San Antonio's wagon but it's the same San Antonio team that lost to The Mavericks last season in the West Finals.And lost both games to the Cavs in the Reg.
I don't think The Cavaliers are just going to win. I think they are going to sweep the Spurs.
Period.
Prepare your apologies for after the Finals
I'm going to be receiving them at ayigansta@yahoo.com

As long as you'll be here to apologize I'll send you one when the Cavs sweep. Also, if the Cavs sweep I'll send you $10.

Although the Spurs are a better team, LeBron James and the help of Daniel Gibson (if he plays like he did game 6) are unstoppable. LeBron is going to make a statement and lead the Cavs in scoring as they take game 1. Game 2 will go to the Spurs, but the Cavs win the next 3 at home. Sure, over the regular season the Cavs were a one-man team, but throughout the playoffs the team has started to click together. James wins MVP and leads the city of Cleveland to its first championship in years. CAVS IN FIVE

A couple of ppl on here are very delusional... Lebron James cannot beat the best professional sports organization in the U.S. by himself... Spurs in 5 (4 isn't out of question either).

Oh and by the way, Jon, I saw you riding bike yesterday. lol. I would have honked but I didnt realize it was you till I passed you.

As much as I would love to see Lebron with a ring already, I am realistic. I hate Texas more than anything in this universe. I pray that the Spurs all come down with the flu for all 7 games because that is what it will take for the Cavs to have a chance. Spurs in 5.
