Do you think a Cavs-Spurs rematch may be in order for the NBA Finals this year?

Some may call me crazy.  I know, I know, how could I possibly pick the Spurs over the flashier Lakers or Hornets or even the Jazz?

Simple.  They are like the Magic of the Western Conference.  They are flying under the radar.

Los Angeles is overrated.  New Orleans finally has a good basketball team again, but even with the best point guard in the game, they aren't ready for the biggest stage quite yet.  Utah has had injury problems that could even put Houston's to shame.

The Spurs, meanwhile, have quietly won 15 of 18 to push their season record to 24-11.  Not as gaudy as 28-6, but still very impressive.

And don't forget, this team plays defense.  They gave the Cavs nightmares back in those Finals.

I know it's early in the season, but that is my early season prediction.  Records don't always tell the whole story, and I honestly feel as though the Spurs are a better team than the Lakers and would thus be more likely to match up against the Cavs in the event that the Cavs reach the Finals.

Thoughts?

For some reason I don't feel like the Fakers are going to make it out of the West.They're just not tough enough and their defense isn't all that great either.They're a finesse team and don't do the dirty work.They're bigs are too soft.The Fakers are just a bunch of overrated LOSERS in my eyes.Unless they improve their crappy defense there is no way they make it out of the West.I guess they don't know that DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.I think Kobe knows it,but I don't know about the rest of those fools.

As far as the Spurs go i'm not too sure if they'll make the finals,but it's very likely.Right now their flying under the radar and everybody has seemed to forget about them.We must not forget they have won every odd year since I think 2003.I'm not too sure because I never cared for the Spurs.Anyways back to the point.I won't be surprised if the Spurs are the team that come out of the West.Besides hit wouldn't be too bad if we could get revenge on the Spurs in the Finals after what they did to us back in 2007.I'm actually kind of hoping for a Cavs vs. Spurs Finals match-up so we can redeem ourselves.

I don't think the Lakers are as good as their record indicates...the Spurs could very well best them in the playoffs, if healthy. They are getting solid contributions from younger players - Mason, Hill, Bonner.

i think the lakers are overrated, and they absolutely can be beaten in the playoffs, however, kobe has an ability, like lebron, to carry any team to victory in a 7 game series, if he gets hot their is no way to stop him

_{go cavs!}

well the last few meetings with the lakers....the cavs won... but with the spurs its different...they know how to contest lbj, and without lbj, the cavs dont really stand a chance at the spurs.

thas what i think.
