5 Teams that were lucky to reach the NBA Finals

#5 2007 – Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers

If the 2018 sweep was lopsided, the previous sweep earlier to that also has the distinction of having LeBron on the losing side. The 2007 Cavs led by a young LeBron James to his first trip to the Finals.

It came off a dramatic Eastern Conference final, beating a more fancied Detroit Pistons team and bringing the spotlight on a superstar career with a Game 5 performance of the ages.

However, with a supporting cast of Larry Hughes, Sasha Pavalovic, Drew Gooden and the Big Z, there was only so much this Cavs team was going to do against the well oiled, perfectly coached machine of the Spurs with future HOFers like Duncan, Parker & Ginobili.

The finals were ugly, with the Cavs failing to score over 100 points in either of the games and the 2nd leading scorer on the team was Drew Gooden with 12.8 points & was one of the all-time lowest rated Finals for TV audiences as well.
