thats your opinion and your entitled to it, i just thought it was funny someone picked the cavs because i dont think they have a chance in hell. But i wasnt calling you any names or anything.

I think the Cavs have a chance....a small one but it's a chance.

And IMO there is nothing wrong the the Spurs style. I'd rather watch them than some team that just comes down court jacking up three's.

The Cavs have a serious chance . . . if Tim Duncan breaks his ankle.

I think the Spurs get a lot of flack because of their success. They're the NE Patriots of the NBA. They both have a no-nonsense coach (Pops is much more likeable, though), a great team leader surrounded by fundamentally sound role players, and they consistently draft smart. It's not sexy, but it works.

Avery has modeled the Mavs after the Spurs. They've had major disappointments the past two seasons, but they were also the most successful years in franchise history.

Actually, they've already had an awful six months or so with both Ohio State football and basketball squads losing their respective national championship games.

Of course, the football team losing was much worse after being ranked #1 all year.

Maybe between the Cavs and the Indians, all the good luck will be used up come Fall.

well the cavs have used quite a bit of luck so far this season, from drawing the number 2 seed by having the bulls loose the last game of the season to the pistons pretty much not giving a crap. If the Cavs win any games this series it will be either game 1 OR game 3. If i was a cavs fan i wouldnt want them to win game 1, its the kiss of death for spurs opponents.

those who call the Spurs boring are not fans of quality basketball. they tend to have short attention spans and long for Sportscenter highlights.

I find the Spurs very exciting. I love a team that can be so dominant defensively. Defense is my favorite part of the game. I love when the Cowboys have a dominant defense and I love the Spurs dominant defense. I love how, as a series progresses, the Spurs slowly constricts their opponents, until finally crushing them and suffocating them into submission and the death of their season (similar to the way a boa constrictor takes out its prey)

I love how on offense they can play any style......fast pace, slow pace, full court, half court, inside, outside......I love how they can take on and outplay an opponent when using the opponent's own style.

I love how they play their game and dictate their pace. I love how they force other teams to change instead of themselves changing their style.

I love a team that plays and wins with class, unselfishness, dignity, respect, and modesty. I love how on and off the court, the Spurs are quality guys, give back to the community, and are solid role models for children.

GO SPURS GO

i respect them but dude they are boring. watching bruce bowen shutdown some superstar player for a posession is impressive......but not exciting. watching tim duncan hit bankers off the glass is impressive......but not exciting. you think they're exciting cause your a spurs fan

all good points, as a spurs fan i have a biased opinion but i love how the spurs play, its awesome. But at the same time when tony and manu are on fire there is no doubt in my mind its not boring to watch and that they both are very exciting players, hopefully people will see that in the finals.

I'd much rather watch a team like the Spurs than some And1 wannabe team running up and down the court jacking up 3's and not playing D.

For once, the Spurs won't be facing a team that has a huge free-throw shooting advantage over us.

It always killed me historically when we faced teams like the Suns and Mavericks and even the Pistons who seemed to make all of their FTs and then we brick shots down the stretch to make games closer than they should be.

But the Cavs appear to be a much worse FT shooting team. And James is under 70% just as Timmy is... what's more, James seems to miss clutch FTs just like Timmy.

So that's one X factor I won't have to sweat about.

You mean how Bron iced two free throws in Game 4 after Rip was trying to pull his little stunt?

I don't want to get into a squabble between Spurs fans here, but I think you're mistaken. Tim is not a clutch free throw shooter... and that's coming from one of his biggest fans.
