Just my luck

Finally. At long last. You guessed right, it's down to two teams. One championship trophy.

The NBA Finals will soon begin & I'm excited like you wouldn't believe.

Right now, I'm rooting for the Spurs; they're running on all cylinders & on any given night if Tim Duncan or Tony Parker isn't playing well, San Antonio has other players who could step in & pick up the slack. But then again, San Antonio wouldn't be the same without the usual contributions of T-Dunc & Tony Parker either; they're the stars who make the Spurs tick like a well-timed clock. And of course, that's what makes San Antonio so awesome in the first place.

Then we've got Cleveland. The Cavs actually put all my fears of their not getting into the playoffs to rest Saturday night by sending Detroit home early. And I admit, I have to say to myself, "Finally." After coming oh so close to upsetting the Pistons in the second round of last year's divisional playoffs, Lebron James & company have now punched their ticket into the Finals; the question is, can they compete against a team who has been there & done that when it comes to winning NBA Championships? We shall see, we shall see. But at least they didn't have to rely on the Lebron James show to get them this far (as Saturday night's game readily confirmed).

And yet it'll take more than Lebron for the Cavs to put up a fight against San Antonio; more players will have to get involved for sure. With the Spurs, there's no real need to worry; it'll be a matter of being fully prepared to play these midwestern upstarts which'll decide who takes home all the NBA championship hardware for 2007.

GO SPURS!!
