I just have to say as much as I admit they are the best team in the league, it is unbelievable how lucky they get with injuries every year in the playoffs, I tried remembering all of them off the top of my hea but found a post on Reddit listing them all, I think there are even more, but damn look at this (copied from a reddit post).
2015 First Round: Played New Orleans and they lost Jrue Holiday, their starting PG (who was fucking amazing and dominating against Lillard this year in the Playoffs)
2015 Second Round: Played Memphis without their star PG Mike Conley and All-NBA first team defender Tony Allen
2015 Conference Finals: Played Houston without their All-NBA defender PG Patrick Beverley
2015 Finals: They played Cleveland without 2 of its all-stars in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love
2017 First Round: Played Portland without Nurkic, their starting Centre that turned their defence around completely after being traded their
2017 Second Round: Played Utah without George Hill, their starting PG
2017 Conference Finals: Played San Antonio without superstar Kawhi Leonard and starting PG Tony Parker.
2018 First Round: Played San Antonio without their superstar Kawhi Leonard again
2018 Second Round: Played New Orleans without their All-Star centre DeMarcus Cousins
In the 2018 Conference Finals, they will potentially be playing games 6 and 7 without Houston's All-Star PG Chris Paul.
I honestly believe that in 2015 if they had had some harder series before hand we would have taken it, but they really do seems to always get the easy road.
