For the Spurs, the extra time is crucial. They're a polished team, with gobs of experience. The rest is critical.
For the Cavs, on the other hand, it's more important to keep the rust off. So the scheduling really works in favor of each team, I think.
The big deciders will be:
*Duncan's play
*Lebron's play
*Parker/Ginobli
*Gibson/Gooden
*The refs (they'll decide who gets away with what - expect the Spurs to win in this category, by a lot).
In the end, I predict I will be hugely frustrated that officiating decided yet another champ (e.g. the disgustingly lopsided officiating in favor of Wade last year, and many other such examples before). But mostly I'll just be mad that officiating gave the Spurs another title.
You wouldn't hear a peep from me if the refs gave it to Cleveland
