Houston Rockets 2018-2019 Season Preview: Can The Rockets Keep It Together?

If the Houston Rockets just had a tad more luck, they could have stopped one of the biggest dynasties in NBA history — the Golden State Warriors — and potentially could have been the ones holding up the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy this past June. The Rockets were up 3-2 in the conference finals to the Warriors, in a perfect position to make the NBA finals. Unfortunately, Chris Paul went down with an injury and would not be able to play in the next two games (and the Rockets also missed 27 straight three-pointers in Game 7) which gave the Warriors the opening they needed to bulldoze the Rockets in the next two games.
