don't be sure a nay sayer.. cavs can easily beat detroit.. utah can easily beat SA

When cleveland get's coached better, they'll win a championship. As bad as they play, they hang around because of sheer talent. I swear to god.....Lebron is included in this criticism..........if I have to watch one more game where a cavs player gets the ball, and then stands around for 15 seconds waiting for a pick......I'm going to turn the TV off and watch desperate housewives or some other shit like that. Lebron needs to understand that he needs to pick up the pace and make moves to the basket without waiting for a pick to develop........or make sure that somebody get's him a pick early in the shot count. And for the love of god, why is every cavs player pump faking a wide open 3, only to get closer and brick it? As their coach, aren't you saying "weapons free"?? You have to shoot well from the outside to beat detroit, their interior defense is too god damn good......they handle the likes of shaq even without Ben wallace this year. Oh yeah......they also need to drop a "robert horry" on Hamilton........cause he kills them

shaq sucks.. he's well past his prime

Depends what you mean by better rep. Detroit is the best team in the east. I just don't care for the type of series that Detroit vs. San Antonio will produce. Holy boring.

Spurs/Detroit is a GREAT finals matchup. They're both great teams that execute every possession. They may not be fast paced like the Mavs and the Suns but how many championships has that style of basketball won??

Would have won one this year if not for David Stern.

Sorry the Suns are to the NBA what the Colts were to the NFL about 2 years ago. You ain't winning the big one without D.

spurs are the most boring team in the world to watch.. yes they are good but holy fuck.. pass to duncan.. duncan dribble 4-5 times and shoot.. repeat

manu and parker keep things exciting

I love the Suns don't play defense argument. Their style of play is to score as many points as possible on you so that you can't catch up. If you look at the defensive stats by possession, the Suns were I believe in the top 10 in the NBA. Teams score more points against them because they get far more possessions due to the fast pace.

Did you even watch the Suns/Spurs series? The Spurs are a renowned defensive team and the Suns stayed right with them from a defensive standpoint. This wasn't the same team as last year when they did not have Thomas or Stoudemire.

All I know is the Suns would have won game 5 without those ludicrous suspensions and then San Antonio would have had to beat them 2 in a row with game 7 in Phoenix. I would put some big cash on Phoenix in that situation.
