Yeah, Skip is talking out of his ass as usual. The Dubs are by far and away the best team in the league. They don't need to "validate" squat. EVERY championship team is "fortuitous"- getting through the playoffs with your roster intact is always just plain luck, and if they avoided tough match-ups it's because they dominated the regular reason and earned the top seed. That's the whole point of playoff seeding.
