The path opening up for an easy le for the Warriors reminds me of the Spurs' '07 le path. The Spurs only had to play only 1 legit contender in '07 which as the Suns but lucked out of a bad matchup with Mavs due to them choking. They also lucked out with Pistons choking against a terrible Cavs team that was a one man show with Lebron. Not to say the Spurs could not have won in '07 if they faced the Mavs or Pistons but it was much easier to win a le by not facing those teams.
If Miami beats Boston then it just becomes infinitely easier for the Warriors.
