Today is our first video in a new series looking back at the best teams in NBA history that weren't able to finish the job. The first team we look at is the 2018 Houston Rockets that were led by Chris Paul and the league MVP James Harden. This team was the only real threat in the Western Conference to the KD era Golden State Warriors and would most likely have a championship if it weren't for Chris Paul's injury in the 2018 Western Conference Finals.

  • As a lifetime rockets fan, I feel proud that we got the first video in this series
  • @itszirvah
    As a rockets fan that game 7 was just embarrassing. We missed 27 3s in a row, no cp3 and had several missed calls and still only lost by 9pts. So many chances to climb back in, but harden simply wasn’t the leader he needed to be.
  • These Rockets, Nash n Suns, Webber n Kings, Malone n Jazz, Ewing n Knicks, and Drexler n Blazers all deserve mention in such a discussion
  • @RaidenNexus97
    Its been 5 years since that season and that loss still stings. That was our year! 😔
  • @TheNorthie
    I still can’t believe they missed 27 3Pt in a row in game 7 against the Warriors.
  • I think the 02 Kings are the best team to never win. They LITERALLY got screwed out of a championship. Plus Peja was injured at that time as well.
  • Anybody going to talk about the guy with the sign that says “I’m Indian, even I don’t like curry”😂 8:28
  • @qtlogik5130
    idk if im ready to relive this pain but here we go
  • That WCF playoff series was the best of the last decade, damn the league was so fun back then
  • @pbyn153
    The Prime Harden and CP3 Rockets vs basically the Warriors. The Rockets thought they are the counter to the Warriors deep three game but still ended up short
  • Man the 2018 rockets sure they didn't have cp3 in game 6 or 7, but that's on them because missing 27 straight 3s is inexcusable. Than a year after that, warriors with no KD just curry,klay,Draymond, and some bad role players not counting looney and Livingston and still lost.
  • @sketched9069
    The Warriors were insanely lucky during their championship years with the amount of injuries the opposing team had. Really lucky 😂
  • @jello7368
    Crazy how the 18 rockets lost to the warriors missing a lot of three’s then then year the kings turn around and have a similar series to the 18 rockets
  • @cleancook695
    2018 rockets will forever be one of the biggest choke jobs in nba probably 2 after 2016 warriors, 27 missed 3s is shameful 🤦🏽‍♂️
  • I watch a LOT of sports content here on YouTube. A lot of it is basketball related, especially during basketball season. I watch many different channels, some bigger, some smaller. However, this channel is continuously my favorite channel on YouTube by far. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the sense of humor by you guys or the production value or just your basketball insight and how personable you make the videos feel. But I absolutely love your videos, and I hope you guys never stop making them! Keep killing it!!!
  • @bochini1
    Thanks for all your content, it's world class
  • I started watching right around the end of the Luis Scola era, seeing the rise from that to being that close to the Finals and then back down to where we are now is insane
