With what the OP is talking about, I think the logic can apply to a big 2 vs 1 superstar led team:

And that's that it all comes down to the role players. '01 Lakers swept the Spurs, '02 it was 4-1. '03 the Lakers supporting cast was :larry: and the Spurs finally overcame them, which led to Shaq throwing that hissy fit that they needed more help. Shaq, Kobe Duncan were relatively the same during those 3 years so if all things are close to equal role player wise, Shaq Kobe were going to win if not dominate more times than not.

We also saw in Miami's year 1 how they out-talented both Boston's big 3 and D-Rose's team in the playoffs 4-1 apiece, with a supporting cast that was pretty trash compared to what they had in '12 and '13. Only thing for them is that after year 1, Wade fell off a bit.. and then injuries to him and Bosh during playoff runs.

Golden State pretty much has a complete versatile supporting cast, plus Steph, Klay, Durant, Draymond in their respective primes. It's gonna cost ownership a shyt ton of money but it's probably making ownership a shyt ton of money too

so that didnt shift the momentum :francis:
Shift momentum....:rudy:




So green goin out two games before their last AT HOME made them lose.....that's what made curry start throwing behind the back passes out if bounds at home, that's what made him start missin threes.....that's what made Iggy get his shyt pinned wit a chase down block, that's what made Harrison Barnes go ice cold....that's what made GS give up 40+ a piece to both Bron and Drew......nah breh, GS got beat by two determined nikkas....they got balled on. Green was on fire in game 7....he didn't lose momentum, he was ballin, Klay was ballin too. Them cats just lost...simple as that.

They have to complement each other, the warriors complement each other and make the game easier.

Lebrons BIG3s worked because Kyrie and Wade were good enough to take turns with Lebron to give him a rest. To be honest, I considered them BIG2.5

OKCs do not, Melo is washed and PG is too streaky.
