What do you think would've happened if the Rockets played the Cavs in the 2018 Finals?

For the past 8 yrs, we've heard how unfair it was for LeBron to have to go up against Steph and KD, but that Rockets squad pushed Golden State to 7 games.

The Cavs couldn't even win one game vs the Warriors on the biggest stage with the world watching.

Lame ass Bron haters better be glad the Rockets didn't make it to the Finals. Bron would've locked Trevor Ariza the fuçk up for title #4.

I think the Houston Rockets would have won and James Harden would be a champion had they matched up in the 2018 Finals

The Cavs barely won against the Baby Celtics. Had the Celtics been slightly more experienced it would have been a Rockets vs Celtics Final
Rockets outside shooting would have been too much for the Cavs. And outside of Lebron himself, there was no one who could guard James Harden. And Lebron for damn sure is not doing that for an entire 48 minutes

Rockets in 6

Chris Paul getting injured in game 5 of the wcf against the warriors had a serious butterfly effect on the rest of the 2017-18 playoffs.

If he was not injured, the rockets probably win the WCF in 6 and advance to the NBA finals, then they beat the Cavs in 5.
