It's easy to make those shots when no one's guarding you. We let the Cav's role players get into a groove. The Spurs won't make the same mistake.

Stern certainly hopes not. With King James front and center!

It would be disasterous for the ratings not to be higher than the last couple of years.

Spurs in 5 and I want it to be a stomping. David Stern's nightmare is that the Bruce Bowen tricks he overlooked in earlier series end up hurting LeBron James.

It may not be that easy. I think the Cavs length and size upfront will create some matchup problems. Timmy will get banged around in the low-post.

If Bowen can handle LeBron then Boobie won't be big in this series. If they have to collapse on LeBron ....the the Cavs might milk Boobie for some more points.

Having a baby in the house, I nearly sprayed my monitor reading that.

bills...you ARE 'The King' of innuendo!

For anyone watching the Finals, we'll be opening the chat for the games. I'll post a heads-up here once the chat opens just before the games.

I think I'll definitely be more relaxed during the games this year. I despised the Heat and couldn't believe the refs handed the series to them last year, but I'm not particularly against either of the teams in it now.

I dont know but I do look for the league and Stern to put the fix in big time in this series. I see the Cavs splitting the 1st 2 games. Then I see the Spurs taking 2 out of 3 in Cleveland. The refs will be in full control in game 6 and hand it over to the Cavs to get everyone riled up in anticipation of the upset. Game 7 will be close up until the late 3rd and where the Spurs take the title for the 4th time in 9 years. If this comes to pass I may refuse to watch the NBA for the rest of my life. Stern has gotta get the ratings up, what a %%%%ing shame.

Stern isn't exactly one of my favorite people, but if he wanted to fix things that badly just for ratings purposes, I think his actions in the Phoenix-SA series would have been somewhat different.
