Can Cavaliers beat Spurs at 2007 NBA Finals in Cleveland?

For games 3, 4 and 5, the 2007 NBA Finals will be in Cleveland as the Cavaliers play the first of three games at home, down 0-2 to the Spurs.

ON TUESDAY, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3. This will be the first of three home games for LeBron James and company as they try to get back to the 2007 NBA Finals currently being dominated by the San Antonio Spurs.

For games 1 and 2, the San Antonio Spurs dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Spurs have been so dominant that people are already branding the Cavaliers as the weakest team these Spurs faced in the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

With the current makeup of the NBA today, that being all the powerhouse teams of the league jammed together in the West while the mediocre clubs call the East home, that is definitely a possibility.

The Spurs' domination of Cleveland was so apparent in the first two games of the 2007 NBA Finals, especially in Game 2, where San Antonio jumped on the Cleveland Cavaliers right from the get-go, leading by as many as 29 points early in the third quarter.

Cleveland's lone king, LeBron James, is being overly dominated by the three-headed monster from San Antonio. In Game 2, Tony Parker led the Spurs with 30 points, followed by Manu Ginobili who scored 25 and Tim Duncan with 23.

LeBron James was in his usual dominant form, scoring 25 points, but after that, nobody from the Cleveland Cavaliers stepped up. If it wasn't for the Cavaliers rookie Daniel Gibson and his 15 points off the bench, the Spurs could've ran over Cleveland easier.

The 2007 NBA Finals shift to Cleveland, Ohio as the Cavaliers play the first of three games at home, trying to get back to this seven-game championship series against the powerhouse team from San Antonio. The Cavaliers need somebody other than LeBron James to put the basket through the hoop.

Of course, when you're facing a team like the San Antonio Spurs, it's easier said than done.

Who will win the 2007 NBA Finals? Spurs or Cavaliers?

After 82 regular season games and 12 wins in the 2007 NBA Playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers meet in the NBA Finals.

Yes, the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the TWO teams remaining, fighting for a chance to lift the Larry O'Brien trophy as they engage in the seven-game series of the 2007 NBA Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, with LeBron James, now have an impending dominant dynasty and it's up to them to push it to reality when they take on the best of the West while the San Antonio Spurs try to prove to the young Cavaliers that it is STILL their time and no beast from the East can tell them otherwise yet.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, after shocking the rest of the world by beating the No.1 team in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons, will face the San Antonio Spurs dynasty trying to establish their own.

It took Michael Jordan seven NBA seasons before he had his very first NBA title. LeBron James can have his first one in only his third season in the league.

The San Antonio Spurs, after a tough Western Conference semifinals with the Phoenix Suns, had a rather easier time with the Utah Jazz coming to the final best-of-seven war of the NBA season.
Tim Duncan and Tony Parker still is the core of the San Antonio Spurs franchise and judging by the way the Texas tandem played in this year's playoffs, they're getting better and better with each year they've played together.

Since ''the Admiral'' retired from the game and left the Spurs all to Tim Duncan to lead, this franchise never skipped a beat, staying on top of the Western Conference as one of the NBA's elite teams. They will take on the Cavaliers beginning Thursday as they try to postpone the beginning of a new kingdom led by a King James.
