Yeah, I didn't know that he would be the clear-cut Finals MVP either. Well, hopefully the Cavs win two in Cleveland to make this a series......very doubtful though.

I thought the Spurs would sweep and sort of feel decent about the prediction. The media is quick to promote 'Bron's greatness and hey he had a hell of a Game 5 but he's not ready just yet. His physical gifts are incredible but his jumper is way too inconsistent at this point of his career. He finally started to attack the basket but it was too late. I'd feel better about Boobie Gibson hitting a jumper than I do Lebron at this point.

Good point lol. That being said, I don't see the Spurs giving away a series like the Mavs did last year. Unless the mayor of San Antonio has already made parade arrangments lol. That should be enough to hype up the Cavs.

They already made the plans. So did the Cavaliers. Just like every city in a Finals.

Yeah, I was thinking that when I typed it.

Lebron's averages through the first two games: 19.5 ppg on 35% shooting 7.5 FTA per game

are you saying he's going to average something like 25 FTA's like Wade did last year at home?

i think everyone is forgetting that the next 3 games are played in Cleveland.
that being said it still looks like the spurs are going to finish the finals off in Cleveland..game 4 probably.

The league will not try to stretch the truth of it and help Lebron win a couple at home. They know that would be a HUGE stretch. Miami and Dallas were a lot closer than these two are. That was different. It only needed a small tweak. This would need broken bones to turn around. Unless you see TD getting whacked in the leg by a ref, don't count on any help from Emperor Stern.
The Spurs have so many trophies now, they can use one to anchor their boat in that crappy river of theirs.

I still can't figure out why people watch the NBA if they truly believe the league office "fixes" games. Maybe they are just fans of Wrestling?
I don't get it.
