It feels funny to write an article about three goals for the Houston Rockets. After all, they were the best team in basketball last year with a 65-17 record, had MVP James Harden rip through defenses, and came only one game short of advancing to the 2018 NBA Finals.

What if Chris Paul doesn’t go down with a hamstring injury in the embers of Game 5 in the Western Conference Finals?
What if they didn’t miss a record 27 straight three-pointers in Game 7?
What if they went up against King James and the Cavaliers in the Finals?
