San Antonio Spurs is one win away from winning their 4th NBA title of their franchise. The whole series was dominated by San Antonio Spurs. Will Cleveland can still make a comeback? I don’t think they can still win the NBA Title this year. With the way Tim Duncan and Tony Parker is playing together with the rest of the team. I think San Antonio is invincible in this series.

On the Game 3 of NBA Finals 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers showed that they can play too. They almost won the game, unfortunately in the last minute of the game they cannot convert with a clutch shot.

Tony Parker should be the MVP of the NBA Finals 2007. He played this series tremendously. Tim Duncan still a contender though.

What I’m missing here in this Finals is Robert Horry. He seems to be not showing what he really was. I haven’t see the clutch shooting and the eagerness during this NBA Finals. Lebron is slowly showing that he can dominate a game anytime he wants. I’m seeing the scenario in the next 3-5 years they will win an NBA Title and Lebron would be the MVP of the Season. He’s still improving his game decision making and his shooting. Lets look forward on the next god of the NBA.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas played the best game of his NBA Finals career on Game 3. Palovic also made an impact on the last 3 games. If Cavs could sustain this energy from this guy, and they will get support from the outside, by Daniel Gibson and Donnyelle Marshall. This team will have the chance to extend it atlest to Game 7.

My prediction would be Game 4 -5 will be dominated by Cleveland and on Game 6-7 San Antonio will took the title.

I would love to see who will be the next NBA’s #1 pick overall. Portland TrailBlazer has the luxury of choosing between Kevin Durant of Texas and Greg Oden of Ohio State.

Here’s my review on the two athlete. Greg Oden is a force in the inside while Kevin Durant is dangerous outside. Many basketball critics say that Greg Oden plays like Hakeem Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. On the other hand Kevin Durant plays like Dirk Nowitzki and Tracy McGrady.

Who among them should Portland look for? Based on their lineup I think they should go for Kevin Durant since they have a already LaMarcus Aldridge at center position together with Jamaal Magloire. Kevin Durant can play the small forward position. So the lineup will be Brandon Roy and Fred Jones/Ime Udoka on the backcourt, Kevin Durant and Zach Randolph on the forward position, and Lamarcus/Jamaal would be on the center position. Portland needs a strong small forward on their lineup. Kevin Durant is the perfect fit for this position.

The stage is now set for the NBA Finals 2007. The Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs are squaring off for the most prestigious showdown in Basketball.

The young Cleveland Cavaliers subdue the veteran lineup of Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals in Game 6 of their best of 7 series. No one expect the upset made by the Cavaliers. On the other hand San Antonio beat their western conference rival Phoenix Suns.

Here’s my quick prediction on the upcoming NBA finals. I think if Lebron will play the same game he played last Eastern Conference Finals the Cleveland Cavaliers can finish the NBA finals series in 6 games. But watch out for Bruce Bowen because I’m sure he will try to make Lebron’s game miserable. The key is Lebron James for Cleveland to win the NBA championship.

What about San Antonio Spurs? They will surely dominate this game with Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli and Tim Duncan on their lineup. These 3 will have to do their usual job, attack the basket and intimidating defense.

In every team they need an x-factor to be able to pull the win. The two x-factor for both team would be Daniel Gibson and Manu Ginobli. In the last time Spurs win the NBA Finals it was Manu Ginobli single handedly lift the Spurs to win the Finals against Detroit Pistons. And remember last year, Manu wasn’t able to play well because of his injury. And what happen is they didn’t reached the NBA Finals. On the other hand Daniel Gibson is the key guy that help Cleveland win over Detroit Pistons on Game 6. What about Robert Horry? Horry last year made a playoff heroic again and again and again. But this NBA Finals he might do it again with his clutch shooting. But we also have to look on what Anderson Verejao did this playoffs to be able to help Cleveland to achieve a franchise history. I can compare Verejao to Dennis Rodman on how he play the game. But the difference between them is Anderson knows how to shoot the ball and Dennis is more scrappy player than anyone in the NBA History.

So who will win? I will give my vote to San Antonio this year. But on the upcoming year, if Lebron will step up his game to another level he may be able to build the next dynasty in the NBA.
