I don't think a lot of people were clamoring for a San Antonio Spurs versus Cleveland Cavaliers finals, but here we are, and it starts tonight.
LeBron proved himself in game five of the Eastern Conference Finals, but the challenge he faces against San Antonio will be far greater.
Cleveland had a shockingly easy path to the finals, they faced a depleted Wizards, a Nets team that was incapable of putting the ball in the basket for long stretches at a time (that series was unwatchable), and a Detroit team that ran out of gas (yes, using the term 'ran out of gas' with regards to the Pistons is a cliche, but in this case, the cliche fits well).
San Antonio on the other hand, faced a talented Denver team and dismantled them, faced a great Phoenix team and beat them up (with some help from the league), and beat soundly an over matched Utah team.
San Antonio is rolling, and Cleveland looks like little more than a speed bump.
Even though I hate San Antonio, all their players (except for Horry), and their little dog too (or coyote, whatever their mascot is) . . ., I'm going to have to say that the Spurs will sweep the Cavs and the folks in Cleveland will once again take comfort in not having to deal with one of those big messy victory parades.
