It wasn't really, though. It was a team that caught lightning in a bottle, and benefitted enormously from a very favorable opening round draw. "Playoff success" is such an unpredictable and unreliable data point for analyzing the trajectory of a team because so much of it depends on the fortunate happenstance of many things just going right at the same time. And sometimes it takes a long time for a team, or a player to figure things out.
