The Finals

Very interesting matchup but it really comes down to is LeBron (along with his teammates) really that good or was the East that bad? The LeBrons didn't face too much of a challenge in the East as the Wizards were depleted, the Nets underachieved all year (and Vince has no heart), and the Pistons were overconfident yet flawed (look at Billups' comments after game 6). I really don't see them better than 4 or 5 teams in the West (Spurs, Mavs, Suns, Jazz, Rockets at least).

The Cavs are a great defensive and rebounding team and thats why they will be competitive and not get swept like some people are suggesting. But it comes down to that the Spurs are much more efficient on offense (they actually run an offense) and they're a little bit better on defense. Execution and experience will trump LeBron's skill and although this might seem like a similar situation to the Heat vs Mavs ...the Spurs have more heart and a better defense than the Mavs. I can't see LeBron doing what he did to Pistons to the Spurs. Spurs in 6
