no one wouldve said that. its clear the spurs matchup with them better than the grizz or rockets. the clippers had the #1 offense in the league.
it was obvious before the playoffs started, the only teams that could matchup were the spurs, cavs, and possibly clippers./thunder. the warriors didnt play any of them (healthy).
i think people are taking docs words kind of out of context. lucky KD didnt come back before the end of the season as originally planned. lucky the nba seeding rules forced the spurs and the clips to play each other round 1. lucky they did not sustain any major injuries the way so many other teams did. lucky kyrie and love didnt play in the finals.
when has anyone seen the stars align this much for one team ? they are a great team, but they werent tested.
1. The stars couldn't have aligned without permission from the Clippers. The Clippers gave up that 3-1 series lead. Yet I'm to believe this same Clippers team were the only team standing in the way between a 67 win team going to the finals?
2. The Spurs are always shakey the year after they win a title. I'm to believe that same Spurs team that lost The Clips would've been the chosen team to take out Golden State? Again, the stars couldn't have aligned for GS without the Spurs SUCKING. Doc's comments should've read "The Warriors are lucky my team and the Spurs stunk-it-up this post-season". Say what you want about KD, Kyrie, and whoever else being injured, the Spurs and The Clips don't have that excuse....
3. Part of the reason The Cavs defense was on point, was because of the injuries to Klove and Kyrie. Either way, the Warriors weren't the only team to face battered teams. For all the talk about The Cavs injuries, they ignore the fact they faced a Bulls team with no Pau, and they faced a Hawks team with no Thabo, and an injured Korver.
