I'm curious what team Doc to the championship that wasn't supposed to get there. that 2008 team very much had title expectations
Yeah, '08 definitely had title aspirations. I think most of us expected them to get there.
2010 was a bit of a surprise. Coming off the KG injury and disappointment of '09. Then the team just treaded water in the regular season and basically "rope a doped" people. Most of this board had that team dead & buried early. Getting to the Finals was a bit of a surprise. Most people were punching in Lebron v. Kobe.
The '11-12 team was another one that was sorta just in cruise control then ended up a game from the Finals.
As a whole, I think most of us expected more than one title from that New Three era so that was a disappointment but the team did give us some pretty decent runs if you break it down season by season. It's just a shame what could've been.
