Odds on Favorite from the Beginning, Spurs Sweep Cavs in NBA Finals

chowell — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:15:00 GMT

NBA fans and oddsmakers alike picked the Spurs to win their 4th NBA Championship once their matchup w/ the Cleveland Cavaliers was set. While they weren't picked to win in 4 games by sportsbooks and online wagering sites, there was probably no money to make by betting on the San Antonio Spurs, because they were so clearly favored.

The Spurs were unrelenting in pursuit of the championsip - they wishstood everything the Cavs could throw at them. The series was low-scoring and boring overall, but congrats to San Antonio for defying NBA betting pundits who annointed the Suns this year's champion before the playoffs really got going.

Lebron James was adequate during the Finals, but he committed several key (unforced) turnovers late in Game 4 that probably cost his team the game. There was also a point with less than a minute left, where Cavs coach Mike Brown made a huge mistake - letting the Spurs rattle off about 20 seconds on the game clock instead of fouling. While Cleveland was able to come back and make a close game of it, they must have gone to the locker room extremely disappointed and let down by the loss.

Tim Duncan had a horrible game offensively, but did enough on the boards and on defense to help the Spurs win the game. Finals MVP Tony Parker was spectacular again, while leading the Spurs to the title. Manu Ginobili also rebounded from a poor Game 3 with 20+ points and several key free throws down the stretch.
