The Pistons could have beat the Spurs and the Cavs beat the Pistons. The Spurs and Cavs just was a bad Match up for the Cavs. The Spur bast defensive player would naturally play Lebron and the cavs have noone to stop the Spurs offensive threats.

LOL....Are you trying to win the "Most Obvious Question/Answer Ever Award"?
Spurs-Cavs was a mismatch because it was basically one guy versus a entire team. The Spurs had the advantage at every position except SF where LeBron plays.
They also had a deeper and more talented bench and a better coach and coaching staff.
The only advantage the Cavs had was that they had the more raucous crowd when they played at home.
The Cavs got to the Finals because they had a few players step up, when needed, at big times in a few games. Example Gibson's 31 points in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
None of those players stepped up on the national stage of the Finals. In fact, most actually played worse than they had all season.
The Spurs had more talent and simply overwhelmed the Cavs from the first minute of the series, they also had the advantage of having been there before, and it seemed like that helped them against a Cavs team who often looked like a deer in headlights....they probably learned that from their coach, Mike Brown, who often has that look on his face late in close games.

Yes it is a mismatch. The Spurs are better in almost every facet of the game. The only advantage that the Cavs have over the Spurs is they have LeBron James.

The spurs will win in 6 against the Cavs. There are 3 substantial factors to this Finals. One, the spurs are extra matured than the cavs. This spurs team has a team of veterans that have been interior the playoffs/finals until now. 2, the spurs have the dirtest participant (Bruce Bowen) interior the sport. subsequently, LeBron could shop one eye on him and one on the basket. ultimately, the substantial ingredient is that the spurs have the main elementary and ultimate participant in basketball...Timmy. so, the spurs will win in 6..

Yes sir
The cavs won 50 games for 2 consecutive seasons against very very mediocre opponents...soo many teams were under 500 in the east...7 of them and 2 who made the playoffs...orlando and washington
In the west 7 of them were under 500 and 2 of those who didn't make it still had a shot of goin to the playoffs in the last couple of weeks so they pretty much didn't go all out at the end...meanwhile the teams in the east was determined by like 3 weeks before the end of the season by not their seedings so everyone knew who's in and out but didn't know whos gonna face who
New jersey the 6th seed in the east and was at 500 with 41 wins and 41 loses...they got to face the third seeded raptors in the first round who were division champs and were ousted pretty easily by the 6th seeded nets
I know you may say mavs were eliminated by the warriors but think about it...the warriors and warriors alone have given the mavs fits in the past 2 years for some odd reason
I bet all 8 teams that made the playoffs in the west WOULD've BEATEN Lebron and the cavs in a playoff series of 7 games...the cavs have wayyyy too many holes and they put up an unconvincing 50 win season against mediocre opposition

Yes, this was the biggest mismatch in recent finals history, and without researching it, possibly the worst matchup of all time.
The Cavs did not LEAD IN THE 2ND HALF of any game until they had a big run in game 4 to take a slight lead. Even then you knew they weren't going to hold on. When the game was on the line, Cleveland had no answer defensively for Tony Parker or Ginobili.
The Cavs were just overmatched, plain and simple.

Yeah, man. The Cavs don't have anyone that with enough experience to even smell the Spurs in a series. They still played very hard, just not smart and talented enough to beat the Spurs 4 times in a series.

A mismatch in the sense that you had a team that won 3 times as opposed to a team that had never been there. A team whose best player is 22 years old against a team whose best player whose been there and done that. If anyone thought the Cavs had a chance to win that series was seriously delusional. The best way to describe that series was a complete team vs an incomplete team.

No. Spurs played exceptionally well and Cavs played horrible. James could not get anything going his way and that's the only reason the Cavs got swept.
