NBA Final Pick: San Vs. Cle!!!!

[GatorFan]

San -7.5
Cle +7.5
Un/Ov 180

NBA season almost ended, Unluckily I lost heavy on Detroit since Cle covered line and won all the way and I went for Detroit all the way...what a loss for me. I should have gone with the flow which I did not.

Please share your pick if you could.

My pick:

Cle +7.5 Since Cle beaten SA twice in reg season
Under 180 Since these are two defensive teams

The regular season games mean zilch. Nada. Nothing. One was in November (I was at that game and remember Lebron posterizing Duncan) and one was in early January. As Bill Simmons wrote on espn.com:
Ginobili's move to the bench on Jan. 28 eventually energized both him and Finley (more comfortable as a starter), and for whatever reason, Duncan raised his defense to another level (I can't remember him ever defending as well). In a two-month stretch from Feb. 13 to April 13, they kicked it into fifth gear by going 25-3 (including a 13-game winning streak), shifted into neutral for the last three games (all losses) with a No. 3 seed locked up, then kicked it back up into fifth by going 12-4 against Denver, Phoenix and Utah in the playoffs.

Here's the point: Throw out those cruise-control games and the Spurs are 37-7 since Feb. 13. And since the Cavs didn't play them during this stretch, as far as I'm concerned, their 2006-07 history is moot.

Ilgauskas will make Duncan look awful. Cavs in six!

I can only hope you just smoked a bowl of the very best bud. EDIT: to the post above
