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.

[@MightySportsFan2000]

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

[@ElJoker3000_]

Excuses because he also had a chance in 2019 to beat them without kd and he was fully healthy and still couldn’t beat them🥱🥱

[@alecxanderorbigo390]

​@@ElJoker3000_ that 2019 roster is not as good as 2018. The '18 rockets is more balanced.

I’ll never let that go if cp3 never got hurt they would of won it all

[@3rr1k_]

kevin durant, and failing to show up when it matters

[@thepoisonouspotato3631]

The warriors said that their strategy was to let Harden go off in the 1st half, and get him tired for the 2nd half

It seemed like only yesterday when I went to watch Rockets Clippers in 2019. Funny how Russ, Harden, Kawhi and PG are teammates now. Today is not enough having at least 2 all-stars in ur team (expect for Denver ig)

[@jaywarvz]

Teams are getting better

[@placyd]

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

Harden's era in Houston was a complete bust.....too busy going to strip clubs and his ego got in the way of Championships

[@jaywarvz]

Very unfortunate

[@aznpikachu215]

Kobe Bryant said it best, Harden’s style of play is good enough to win games, but not enough to win a championship. But also, it's not just hardens style of play but his personality as well holding him back from a ring.

[@jaywarvz]

Definitely man

[@GXprogamer]

First part is correct, 2nd part is just narrative and agenda, what do u mean personality?? Bro does not have loyal all star teammates and thats his fault?

[@troelembiid6970]

Harden is annoying, but if Kobe played against that Warriors team for half a decade… he would lose just as badly.

Look at his stats percentages always drop in the playoffs, living with Houston we witnessed first hand how different regular season James and post season James were

[@ryanevans8566]

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.
