The San Antonio Spurs weren't supposed to be this far along at this point in their development, entering the Western Conference finals with confidence, momentum — and just about everything they need on the court except for significant NBA playoffs experience.

The Spurs aren't concerned about everybody else's timeline. They have got another series to play soon against the defending champions, Oklahoma City Thunder, and they are aiming to win it.

"I understand the general expectations of what we were supposed to do in October aren't necessarily aligned with where we're at right now," coach Mitch Johnson said after the 139-109 romp past the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night that finished the second-round series in six games. "We never talked about what we were going to be or what we were going to do. We just knew that we had a lot of potential, and we were going to try to be the best team we could be."
