Definitely. And a dumb one by Ginobilli at that.

Pathetic. I'll say it again, this was over when the Spurs beat the Suns.

Absoultely.

One or two Cavs fans got upset when I and others said this was a complete mismatch before game 1...but it's proved to be true.

Worse, the Spurs never even got warmed up.

I'd honestly pick seeds 6, 7 and 8 in the west to beat the Cavs in a series:

Nuggets - Melo and AI + their bigs would be too much.
Lakers - Kobe has more support than LeBron
Warriors - would be close.

The Cavs fans here are great guys...but it wouldn't be a real debate if I and others didn't call it as we see it. It's only sport and there's never any hard feelings. The East is terrible.

I think any of the western playoff teams would have given Cleveland a hell of a series.

Gin is clutch and yes that was a bad foul, but he makes up for his bad mistakes!

I will agree with those who say LBJ's needs to develop a J before he goes to the "next" level.

At the moment, it's too inconsistent to win at the highest level.

It will come in time, Jordans jumper was not automatic at the beginning..But one thing Jordan, Kolby, do realize, when the jumper does not drop, you drive...........get fouled and go to the line, if you don't get the dunk........

YEah your team should be good next year, but it is tough to get back.

The problem is, the East is so weak that teams like the Cavs aren't getting "toughened up" like they should.

These guys should be going through wars to reach the finals.

It would do them good + prepare them so much better for the actual "east v west" showdown.

Instead, you've got teams like Miami taking 3/4 of a season off...and still making the east conference finals.

Washington down two starters...still making it.

New Jersey with absolutely ZERO front line players...finishing high up.

Detroit...would be dead in the west. Yet they've survived 3 extra years as "beats of the east".

There's no depth at all...and that hurts everyone.

Even their celebration is boring.

Ditto, Good for Finley and Horry, they deserved it.........Great game San Antonio...They were destined to beat anybody once they got by Phoenix..Dallas screwed everything up..And In the East Dwayne Wade getting hurt screwed the East up...........Cavs and LeBron willl be back,Better players and hopefully a better Coach. Nothing against Brown but he has no offensive schemes...He doesn't know how to really use LeBron..Also Lebron does have a little to learn..Remember the Old Shaq,,,Well he will be a Hall of Famer......Time will tell with LeBron


Wish they would not Boo the Celebration, but if you don't want the celebration on your Home court, win........

True.

LBJ v D-Wade is going to be a hell of a lot of fun the next few years.

At this stage, Wade is probably sightly ahead.

I'd love to see those two meet...fit and well...in the east finals next year.
