Sorry for not posting recently, I've had issues to deal with at home and couldn't get to a computer. Now then: The Finals are here, a matchup of perhaps the league's most consistently good (but boring, we'll discuss that later) versus the league's best one man gang for all the marbles. San Antonio vs Cleveland has the potential to be two different things; a hard fought, six or even seven game series, or a total mismatch over in five. The key, of course, is King James, the engine of the Cleveland attack. If LeBron can keep the Spurs' superior (to Detroit, at least) defense, and if the shooters like Daniel Gibson and others can hit the shots like against the Pistons, this will be an exciting series. If the Spurs can attack the Cavs' front line like they did against the Jazz and Suns (i.e Ginobili, Parker, etc. driving to the rack), the Spurs should dominate. Either way, the Spurs should win this series. Which gets me to the boring part. The Spurs are perceived as boring because they usually don't crave the spotlight the way other teams/players do. You know why? Because all they care about is winning! Look at the statistics; the Spurs have NEVER, even in their ABA history, missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, something the great teams of all sports (Lakers, Celtics, Yankees, Red Sox, etc.) can claim, and if (or maybe when) they win their 4th title since 1999, they can finally get their due as one of the best teams ever. I won't call them a dynasty (I believe you should win back-to-back at least once to be a dynasty) but they are the team of the decade right now, and debate would be limited futher when they win their third of the decade here (tying the Lakers in the lead). There is a second reason they are 'boring'; the league only promotes stars who act like stars (i.e divas). Why did the league jump out of their seats when Cleveland won? Because a star got into the ball! Now, instead of "Just great: another Pistons-Spurs final. Yawn.", it's "Awesome! LeBron against  the Spurs! Let's watch!". It's been that way since the beginning of the league, and things haven't changed much in sixty years. The NBA doesn't promote great teams unless they have stars; Magic's Lakers, Bird's Celtics, Michael's Bulls, just to name a few. Tim Duncan, for all he's accomplished in his career, doesn't inspire enough for the NBA to promote him, and thus the Spurs are seen as boring. Well, tell that to the San Antonio fans when they celebrate their 4th title at King James' expense!
