Besides, there are certain types of big that you will need to beat GS, TT and Love imo two really good rebounders and KD was taking rebounds from them, you will need real +6"11 footer with good standing reach to eliminate that.
What you need is a pick and pop guy that space the paint so guy can take advantage of their interior defense. The Spurs have an advantage because they forces KD to play the 3 and if they play small then you will live with Iggy/whoever they put taking shots on offense. Im not sure how many team has that type of advantage.
3D guys is a non discussion, Spurs already have Green, Simmons*, Leonard, hopefully Murray develop some type of range because hes length is perfect, and I think they missing one more guy since Anderson hasn't show any improvement with his 3 point shot... George Hill can guard the likes of Curry and Klay, Wilson Chandler can play KD, Klay, Iggy even Draymond Green.
The more people sleep on the Spurs the better.

You need to pound the rock down low to get Green, KD, and whoever is manning the middle in foul trouble and mess around with GS rotations.

Now SA, who on their team is pounding the rock inside? LMA? Dude gets eaten up by Draymond. Pau is done. This formula works in theory but no team has the personnel to put it into use.

No one is going to beat Golden State that way, especially when you lack two way players like the Cavs.
So how do you do it?
1. SIZE, slowing down the pace, pounding the rock inside, crashing the boards, protecting the rim
and
2. THREE AND D PLAYERS.
The size is going to exploit Golden States biggest weakness, pounding them down low and cleaning the boards.
You're not going to outshoot GS from 3, and you're not going to completely shut them down either.
But what about a less extreme COMBO of the two? Hence the 3 and D players, which there are plenty of.
Who is in the best position to do this? San Antonio and New Orleans.
Point is, I don't think it's near impossible to beat them in the next 3-4 years like everyone says.
