No doubt it was a factor. Losing Bogut was significant too I think, as was Iggy's back problems. Just goes to show you so much of winning a championship is plain luck. Every time you finish a playoff series with all of your roster intact, it's a blessing.

Last year GSW had great luck in that regard, and the Cavs had some of the worst ever. This year it was the other way around.
