Cle is a huge underdog, but as a fan I believe :)

LBJ is the biggest superstar left, mainly because he's a winner unlike kobe, mcgrady, etc. Lets hope someone else can step up like marshall and gibson did.


To further what everyone said here: Lebron has won nothing yet except superstardom and alot of nike deals. I have no doubt he will in the future...but against a true team like Detroit, he has about as much chance as i do of growing legs and winning the boston marathon.

As for the topic, I'd love a Jazz Detroit finals. We hve alot of Michigan native detroit fans here and i'd love to rub it in their face if Utah won. I want to see Deron play in the "big game" again and see if he can step up like he did in college. However my prediction is Detroit vs. SA, with SA coming out on top solely because i think Parker Ginobili and Duncan is a more consistent trio than billups, rip, and sheed. (although i know ginobili is 6th man nowadays and isnt having that great a season).

Yeah, I was disappointed with him so far, I guess the injuries forced him to alter his game, but luckily (well, for Spurs fans) he's back to Super Manu right now...

I'm hoping to see a Finals that is very good. I am a Spurs' fan from way back so I am hoping to see them in the NBA Finals and getting that fourth ring that eluded them last year. As far as an opponent, it most likely will be Detroit but they tend to have problems against players like LeBron, D-Wade, Ginobilietc so seeing the Cavs win is not out of the question especially when I beleive the Pistons were a better defensive team (atleast around the rim) when Ben was their. Their offense may have improved with Webber but attacking the rim now should be much easier than before so I expect LeBron to beast. We'll see but mark these words down in stone, regardless of the outcome. Spurs are my favorite to win in 2007

San Antonio vs Detroit and San Antonio will win because they always win in odd number years ('99, '03, '05) except when beaten by the 3peat lakers

Well to be honest, I don't plan on watching the NBA finals.

I haven't watched a single game of the conference finals, and I expect the finals to be equally mundane.

If I have to pick, I hope Detroit wins it all. Cleveland and Utah have no chance.

I am bored by the Pistons and Spurs, but I think they'll end up in the finals... I'll say San Antonio in seven.


I'd rather see Cavs vs. Jazz, though that's still kind of a boring series. I wanted Golden State vs. Chicago in the finals. ;)

Detroit vs San Antonio its just a classic right now

But maybe its a bit the same of all years :|

San Antonio vs Cleveland will be a bit more interesting than the spurs vs pistons

anyway it will be Detroit vs San Antonio.

Depending on your stance on the issue, the Carlos Boozer/Cleveland subplot could make it more interesting.
