Thoughts on the NBA Finals

The NBA Finals have begun. Last night, the San Antonio Spurs took Game 1 from the Miami Heat.

In your face, LeBron...

(In case you can't tell, I am not a Heat fan. And even less of a LeBron James fan...)

Unfortunately, I had two New York teams in the postseason, but as in every sport this year, those New York teams let me down, so I don't have anyone to root for. The Miami Heat being in the Finals however at least gives me someone to root against, and having a team to really, really root against is almost as good as having a team to root for. So by default, this sports fan will be rooting for Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and the Spurs.

Still, the Heat have dropped Game 1 in a few of their last playoff series, only to go on to win the next 4 games and the whole series. Let's hope the Spurs can break that streak!

How about you - are you watching the Finals? If so, are you rooting for a team or against a team?

Game 2 is Sunday night, June 9, at 8 p.m. on ABC.
