The Spurs aren't the Pistons. They're not going to just choke, implode, get cocky and arrogant, and part like the red sea when Lebron drives into the lane. Not to mention this is the worst team to ever make the NBA finals, and the Eastern Conference has hit an all time low. I expect the Spurs to sweep and for Tim Duncan to teach Lebron the meaning of "Rising to the occasion".
Chosen one my ass. Lebron is the most overhyped player in history. Granted he WILL be among the greatest ever, but he really is overrated. He has 1 good game, suddenly he's Jordanesque. He has 1 bad game, suddenly he's just inexperienced and we'll learn. The stupid ESPN analysts and people that verbally fellate him don't understand the concept of double standards. He's a great player but he's no Jordan. Not to mention Jordan and Magic had better rookie seasons than him, among other things.
*uck the Spurs...as someone who lives basically 10 minutes away from Cleveland I can say that this is the most exciting time to be a Cleveland sports fan, and while I admit LeBron is definitely overhyped he is very good and usually the single bast player on the court. As for The Finals the Spurs are not as "super duper" unbeatable monsters as the ESPN/ABC announcer team is making them out to be (all the damn verbal fellatio they give them and the entire damn half time show being devoted to Palovich trying to molest Tim Duncan on the beach), if LeBron can make his shots in the first half, if they play Gibson more and gave him more open looks for 3's (and STOP passing the ball to Donell Marshal the dude hasn't made a shot since the Washington series) and if they stop or at least slow down Tony Parker and not let Ginobli get wide open 3's they can potentially beat the Spurs in a very close game.
Now the Spurs will definitely NOT sweep the Cavs especially now that the series is coming to Cleveland where regardless of the two looses it will be deafening in the Quicken Loans Arena (I was there for Game 6 of the ECF) combined with the fact that the Cavs play MUCH better at home (Gooden makes shots) I see them taking game 3.

Did I mention the Spurs are the best road team in the NBA and the Cavs have had the easiest road to the finals ever? Who cares if they're at home. It might make it a little more close, but my prediction stands...Spurs in 5.
