Eastern Conference Finals: Or who will be playing the Spurs

Tonight marks the beginning of the end for the Cleveland Cavaliers season. The lethargic Cleveland Cavs have stumbled through the playoffs and advanced all the way to the Finals of the Eastern Conference however, much like their dismal 50 win regular season the Cavs have shown nothing but incompetence causing them to be garnished with apathy/pity from their opponents. Perhaps this strategy of garnering so much sympathy from your rivals worked on the weak-minded Wizards and Nets but the Detroit Pistons are serious, universe slaying juggernauts of the East. I see this series being far more chippy than any other series of this whole Playoffs, excepting for maybe the Suns/Spurs of the last round. The avuncular at best Rasheed Wallace will not be in any mood for the antics of Anderson Varejao and I envision the fuzzy visage of Andy's being gouged and spurred with many a 'Sheed based 'bow or piercing, verbal blow. I'd predict that this would a raw boned but brief four game affair if it were not for the fact that one Mister LeBron James has not had an incredible "GODDAM, HE"S GOOD" kinda game all Playoffs long. I look for him to drop 40+ with a side of double digit dimes/boards in at least one game, pushing this series to five games. So call it a five game sweep, it's not gonna matter the Detroit Pistons will win.
