Pacers rebuild after the Paul George trade
The 2018 Rockets might’ve been the greatest team in NBA history to never reach the Finals. Bc of CP3 injury, plus the 27 straight missed 3s in g7, that literally killed their title hopes.

Yeah that's facts I definitely remember the 2017-18 Houston Rockets the way they were playing with the best record of 65-17 definitely a NBA finals favored team but unfortunately though game 7 will always hunt them plus unfortunately the Golden State Warriors were always in their way

atleast Today's clippers ain't 2018 cavs where situations were heated, it would've worked too if they had chemistry and would sound like a joke if u showed that roster to a fan from the early 2010s, Loved the few games dwade and Bron player as a cavs and the subway meme just glad le bron still had the power to force his way to the finals that year and would've won if the Rockets made it rather than the Dubs, another exciting what if but since we don't do what ifs harden remained an ice cold shooter

The perils of a heliocentric offense, where playoff opponents have advance scouting and game to game adjustments to come up with tactics to wear down an (exclusively) on-ball scorer. The only teammate Harden ever really had off-ball chemistry with was Nick Collison in the early, coming off the bench in OKC days.
