I'll look into this - but my initial reaction is (though I am familiar with the expression) that the most balanced teams win the title.
The only reason why big men don't appear to be as important is because the crop of big men has historically been less talented than guards, so it takes less talented big men to have above average players at the 4/5 vs. the 1/2/3. That's just a guess. I will put it on the list of things to examine.
