Nostradamus you are not

So, the "experts" are weighing in w/ some predictions, and we thought you'd be interested to hear what the conventional wisdom is on The Finals

cnnsi.com essentially averages out to Spurs in 5.5. Although, we would like to ask Jack McCallum if we, too, can use his private pet name, 'Bronnie, for LeBron. Creepy. Also, Chris Mannix shows his chops by saying Bowen matches up better on 'Bronnie than Tayshaun. Go back to sleep, Chris. Plus they bring in a scout who wants to have Bowen's babies (Spurs in 5), and Marty Burns gives us some position thoughts, conspicuously leaving out any discussion of the Rusty Trombone...

Scouts, Inc. on espn.com goes through a very long, and very pointless, position matchup, and, amazingly, manages to say nothing about how they think those matchups will play out. Contain Parker, force LeBron to shoot j's, use depth to bother Duncan...no shit, guys. They say, finally, Spurs in 6. Meanwhile, Bomani Jones makes us want to go Gene Upshaw on him, when he suggests that the Cavs are the worst Finalist ever.

sportsline.com think that the pressure on LBJ is absurd, and that his Titos and Jermaines just can't get it done. Appreciate the nod to the weight of the world on LeBron's shoulders, but Spurs in 5 gets you a kick in the pants from the Search.
