That was a great but very hard question.
2 games is a very large amount of time to adjust and talk things over.
I would play zone defense at the start.
Then if they are getting easy baskets, i'll play 1-2-1-1 full court zone defense then man-to-man.
In that way, the only player that would have the ability to score and go across opp. is Tony Parker.
Tim Duncan will get cold, then i'll start double-teaming parker and switch to box.
After that, i'll go back to zone and play double on Parker.
Parker is not as effective as he is in the paint that in the perimeter.
Clog the lane, give the ball to the open man (not Parker), and we'll have a very good chance of winning games 3 and 4, but that is all i can do.
I'll say Spurs win it by 6 or 7.

I encorage and encorage the cavs to contain ginoboli, parker, and duncan. I tell them to slow them down ware them down. Get them into to foul trouble. Then its up to the cavs to make baskets and take a good solid lead. I keep telling them to not give up. I tell them to have heart play from your heart. I tell them we didnt come all this way for nothing we came here for an NBA finals title.

Heres what I would do: bench Lebron for the first quarter. Lebron has had two unproductive 1st quarters in a row. Bring Damon Jones (a great shooter)or Donyell Marshall (an average player) off the bench. In the second quarter , Lebron will come out on FIRE.

Start LeBron and the "second" team for the third quarter. Nothing to lose giving those players a shot at trying to crawl back into the game.

start a lay up line during the game use it as a practice.. Put in bench players soo they have a story to tell ther kids when there grandpas bout there one bucket in the ship. hey maybe sell tickets to fans to go out ther and shoot cuz theyd do better then this team..
but seriously play hard D who cares if you foul out and you need to hit threes and make everything... BE SMART

Find out who got whacked on "The Sopranos" and pretend the Spurs are doing the same thing to you. Or you can pray that the referees will get back at Tim Duncan for getting that one referee suspended and cause him to foul out in Game 3.

I would take what ever I could and hope for the best. If I lose, I would hope that in the off season, I could hope to get some other stars. So that I wouldn't have to rely so much on "King James".

easy..give boobie gibson more time and more shots. hughes sucks. ilgauskas should do a better job boxing out and defending duncan, he's 7'3! z should hit his shots, what an idiot. the others have to step up. contain duncan,parker,ginobili, any 2 of those would be fine. ilgauskas and snow have to do their defensive job alot better. id keep the starting lineup with andreson varejao, snow, gibson more time. bench damon jones and marshall, they havent been shooting well.

Call the airlines and ask for an earlier flight into Cleveland.
