Game 1: Tonight. I suggest you watch if you want to see something special. Alright, the Spurs are boring. I could not agree more with this statement, but the series will not be; I promise. The series will be electric. Let's be honest, the Cavs are not all that exciting either. But... the combo of Parker Ginobli, and Duncan versus Lebron will be an epic battle. Will the King be able to slay the onslought of Spurs? I say hell no, but he will put up a fight that only a king can.
There are three reasons that the Cavs do not have a chance.
1) No inside presence. Tim Duncan will dominate the boards and the paint. This does not bode well if you are the Cavs. The Spurs cannot get second chance points if the Cavs hope to keep them under 100 points/game. Since they will only score maybe 85, it has to be low scoring for them to win.
2) The Spurs Defense...Lebron will get his 25, but after that, I find it hard to believe that the Spurs will not put a lock on Daniel Gibson. After the series he had, there will be no open three pointers for him. The big Z will have a tough time against Duncan and the only real opportunity I see for them to score is either isolating Drew Gooden on Michael Finley or in transition. It will probably not be enough.
3) Dynasty--> The Spurs are going for their 4th title in 9 years. They are the oldest team in the NBA while the Cavs are babies. After 5 days off, their old legs will be fine and their experience will more than make up for their fatigue.
While it does not look good for the Cavs, it is not entirely hopeful. Tomorrow I nmay give you the three reasons the Cavs can win a few games. Guess what: they all start with Lebron and end with James.
