Is LeBron Really the Key?

It's time, LeBron! It's time to show the world what you can do! Oh, that's right; you are only ONE of the factors in this year's NBA Finals. How will the supporing cast in Cleveland play? Will Drew Gooden show up and play, or will he sit in foul trouble and watch Varejao fumble every pass given to him? Will Boobie Gibson have his shot, or will we have to watch Eric Snow throw up airballs? Will the rest of Cleveland show up? I say NO....to a certain extent. So much pressure is being put on LeBron....and he deserves the limelight and the pressure. He really had a "good" not great series against Detroit. He had the huge game 5, but the other games were normal "LeBron games." I don't believe he will drop 48 on the Spurs. They will not sit back and let that happen like the Pistons did. The other guys are going to have to step up, and I don't think they will be ready to handle the pressure. You have to expect LeBron to be doubled a lot. The main hope for Cleveland is that Gooden and Ilgauskis are hitting the mid-range jumper, Boobie and Pavlovic are knocking down threes, and Marshall and Varejao are doing the dirty work. If they are not all on their game, I just don't see them really giving the Spurs a run. I will say Spurs in 5. I want to say Spurs in 6, but I just can't convince myself that the Cavs can do it. I guess we'll see.
