2007 NBA Finals Predictions

The 2007 NBA Finals Predictions will be based on the Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs. Nobody in their right mind gave Cleveland a chance, but LeBron James and company proved their critics wrong by beating the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals in dominant fashion. Cleveland won four straight games to win the series 4-2 and earn their first ever trip to the Finals in Cleveland's 37-year franchise history. This is exactly what the NBA needed to get more viewers with more interest in the 2007 NBA Finals. They want to see if LeBron James can actually earn his team a Championship.

LeBron is getting many comparisons to Michael Jordan because it took MJ seven years to finally make a NBA Finals appearance. LeBron has done it in four years. It is tough to say that LeBron is every bit as good as Jordan was in his first four years in the league, but the numbers are very comparable. The problem is that if Cleveland has a poor showing in the NBA Finals than LeBron's efforts to this point could get overlooked. Cleveland has to really bare down now and face their toughest opponent of the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

The San Antonio Spurs just keep getting it done without much attention from the media. That is exactly the way they like it. They are in the process of making one of the biggest dynasties in NBA history, yet nobody seems to realize it. San Antonio went through three very tough opponents to get to the 2007 NBA Finals by beating Denver, Phoenix and then Utah in the Conference Finals. They never had to go to a Game 7 to do so either. The Spurs flat-out dominated their competition and Cleveland will likely be the easiest opponent they have to face in order to win their 4 th Championship in Tim Duncan's tenure.

Duncan is still one of the Top-5 best players in the league, but he just doesn't get the recognition he deserves. When his career is over, people will look back on what he has accomplished as a player and give him the respect that he deserves. Our 2007 NBA Finals Predictions will fall with the San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio will win this series in 5 games. The Spurs' addition of Michael Finley and Fabricio Oberto has been absolutely huge. Finley doesn't miss when open and Oberto is an animal on the inside. Couple these two studs with the trio of Parker, Duncan and Ginobli and you have yourself one hell of a team.

This doesn't mean we will take the Spurs Against the Spread in each game, but when the value is right, our 2007 NBA Finals Predictions will go with the Spurs Against the Spread as well. San Antonio has found ways to shut opposing players down year in and year out. We guarantee Greg Papavich will scheme the best plan of any coach this year to stop LeBron James. Papavich is hands down the best coach in the league, no matter what anybody wants to tell you. Mike Brown for Cleveland isn't even in the top half of the league as far as coaching expertise is concerned. He is just very fortunate LeBron James has carried him this far. Coaching and defense wins championships. We are taking the San Antonio Spurs to win the 2007 NBA Finals because of this reason.
