The Rockets have a record of 50-5 when their “Big 3” of Chris Paul, James Harden, and Clint Capela have played together this season. Houston also won the season series against the Warriors, 2-1. They are the number one seed, and have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. James Harden is the likely league MVP.
This series is going to be epic. The Rockets have significantly improved since last postseason, and are coming into the series as the top seed, but will it be enough to defeat a Warriors team that has improved a bit on their own and may have been playing possum all season?
