I wouldnt hold my breath on it. Different teams yes, exciting games... i doubt. Spurs game can be nauseating and the Cavs are no great team. The 1st 4 games on the Cavs-Pistons series were a brickfest. Some of the worst games i've seen in Conference finals. I wouldnt be surprise to see the Spurs sweep the series but i think they'll take it in 5. But who knows.Quote:

I think we would see the same reality. It's not a player comparison (i'm really not the biggest fan of either, for different reasons), it's more the reality of both conferences right now.

The Eastern conference is the weaker of the two. (obviousment)
However, I'm glad to see the Cavs make it to the big show.
Cleavland needs a victory. It's been a long while-since the city
has had a championship team; of any type.
Explain your reasons for not liking Lebron as a player; I hear this
often...and I don't "get" it.

I dont remember saying i didnt like him as a player. He's an unbelievable talent. Athletically he's one of the best i have ever seen. He does some amazing things on court and he's a team player.
But there's something about him that doesnt please me completely. I cant explain. It's not completely rational. Maybe it's just the aesthetics of his game. Some find it beautiful, i dont. Vive la diferance.
He's so big that he doesn't do a lot of twisting moves.Quote:

Lebron James is not so good in outside jumper compare to Kobe.. The thing i like most from Lebron is his speed... with that size and height he can over run any opponents....
People say they don't like Lebron are the people that are a big fan of Michael Jordan...IMO :)Quote:

Clumsy? I can think of many words to describe Lebron's play but clumsy ain't one of them. Yes maybe his J isn't as fluid as Kobe's but it sure as hell still gets the job done.Quote:

He's slue-footed ffs.:ermm:Quote:
