The Spurs are not the Pistons, are the Cavs finished being down 2-0?

    Cavs have a chance because I just read where the Spurs are going to be forced to play the rest of the series with only 3 players on the court with one hand tied behind their backs.

    Yes. They are done. They won't win a single game in San Antonio. This probably doesn't go more than 6, and that assumes Cleveland takes 2 of 3 at home. Personally I think the Spurs pull it out in 5.

    The bottom line is that the Spurs have too many weapons for the Cavs. LeBron is a great player, but ultimately he's only one player and has no supporting cast. If the Spurs contain James, they have no other go-to player to get the job done. The Spurs, on the other hand, have Duncan, Parker and Genobili among others, and you can't concentrate on stopping three different players. Even if you gear up to stop one of them, the others will pick you apart.

    Cleveland currently reminds me of the Bulls in the first few years of the Jordan era. MJ was great enough to singlehandedly turn a horrible team into a decent team, but no one player is great enough to make a bad team a champion. Only when Jordan got some help did the Bulls become a dynasty. I'm surprised the Cavs got this far with just one great player, but then again, the Eastern Conference sucks.
