I think Bowen, Parker, Ginobili are much faster than any of Detroit's Defenders. So Lebron starting from halfcourt dribbling all the way to the hole is much more difficult. The Cavs other players will have to pull some Gibson like nights.

All the Spurs have ever tried to do is make great offensive players work. What more can you do? The more Lebron dribbles, the better. He will get tired just like any mortal. Bowen has always covered the best players, every night. The key is he never gives up, even if he is lit up. He is as mentally tough as they come. He will make dribbling hard.
Bowen is no match for Lebron physically as he was not for Carmello. So he tries to make them dribble. And Lebron will not dribble casually by Parker like he did Billups when they brought Billups out high to make Lebron work more.

Again, two dribble drive dunks in the last 50 seconds of a game is inexcusable when the a team is actually trying to stop the opponent, not just let them dunk because the game is over. That wont happen with the Spurs.

But the nation will be rooting for the Cavs. I would too. I have been a San Antonio fan since their first season in the ABA so I will not. If the Spurs have to lose to a team, I would like it to be a team with a kid like Lebron, and a San Antonio coaching staff. And an ex-UT player Gibson (who I did not think would make it in the NBA)
