Last year's Finals featured 5 guys who can slash and get their own shot. San Antonio made the conference Finals and they have Parker and Ginobili. Boston took Miami to 7 with good contributions from Rondo and Pierce.
Conversely, Orlando, with the dominant center of today's game and a bunch of shooters around him, had one Finals appearance (can't knock that for sure) but a bunch of playoff failures too.
The team that makes your case is the 2010-11 Mavs, but they had one of the league's best players to fall back on. And while Dirk isn't a slasher, he certainly got whatever look he wanted in that series.
