I think the only team that would have done better is the Heat with a healthy Wade and Shaq who wasn't caught up in his new TV show. The Pistons might have won one game, and the bulls would have been annihilated, so yes the heat were the only team that could have put up a good match against them spurs.
Which by the way looked extremely good all the way through the playoffs.

Well since I'm a Pistons fan it would be easy for me to say the Pistons would've done better. However that's not true and its not true for all the other teams that made the playoffs. The reason is simple. If they could've done better than the Cavs then it would've been them playing the Spurs and not the Cavs. If you want to go the route of "The Heat with a healthy Wade" then you have to say that the Cavs basicly got a bye in the first round against the Wizards because Gilbert Arenas was hurt the entire series and didn't play a single game.

Even as a Cavs fan, I think the Pistons would have a better matchup against the Spurs and put a better fight. Billups could punish Parker at the other end with his strength, the frontcourt matches up well with Duncan, especially Rasheed. Popovich's defensive schemes can't be as effective when Detroit has many ways to attack with all starters capable of putting up 20 points, instead of Mike Brown's predictable offense.
But give credit to Cavs since the Cavs have the matchup advantage over the Eastern conference teams and deserve to be in the finals.

Of course, a healthy Wade Heat team and Detroit Pistons. I think the Pistons lost to the Cavaliers because the Cavs just matched up well with the Pistons. Just look at the Warriors against the MAvericks. Mavs was the best regular season team, but the Warriors just matched up well with them.
The Heat were champs and they would definitely give the Spurs a run for their money. But I still think the Spurs would beat them.
The Pistons are a veteran team and they are physical, I think they would do a better job at stopping Parker from driving into the lane; but I still think the Spurs would win that series

Last playoffs? Nope, that's why the Cavs played finals.

I think even though Cavs beat detroit pistons, I think the Pistons would have been a better match.

i thought the bulls would've garnish a lot of attention...i mean bruce bowen wouldn't have been able to guard them all from beyond the 3-point arc...seeing as how chicago is filled with them...
