The Warriors have advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 39 years, and after dispatching the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies in the first two rounds of the playoffs, only the Houston Rockets remain in the Warriors way for the right to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. While the two teams operate at a similar pace (the two fastest in the NBA) and in a similar style (three-pointers galore), the paths both sides took to get to this point add another layer of likeness to what should be a fun and fascinating matchup.

Not ten days ago, the Dubs found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 series deficit after the Grizzlies had handed the Warriors consecutive defeats despite being held to less than 100 points in each game, a task no other Golden State opponent had accomplished even once throughout the entire year. Outside of the locker room, the common perception was that the Warriors were rattled, that Memphis had figured them out, and that a 67-win regular season was headed for an abrupt and disappointing end, and soon. Inside the locker room, however, the Dubs were anxious - to get back on the court and put an end to the hysterical narrative that had gone too far off the tracks. They

responded as they have all season long, obliterating the Grizzlies by 17 points on Memphis’ home floor and wrestling back the momentum of the series in the process. That statement game began a stretch of three-straight victories to close out the series, all of which were quite possibly the Warriors’ three best games of the postseason, and served as a loud reminder to us all that this team did not win 67 regular season games by accident. The Warriors are very, very good, and now approach the Western Conference Finals with the confidence that they’re hitting their stride just in time.

The Rockets, similarly, aren’t lacking in the self-confidence department either. If the Warriors’ bandwagon had reached crisis mode upon trailing 2-1, the nervous energy surrounding Houston after going down 3-1 to the Clippers was seemingly palpable enough to power another mission to the moon. Only eight teams in NBA history had ever come all the way back from a 3-1 series deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series, and the prospect of having to win three-straight games, including one on the road, was nothing less than daunting. Then, when Houston trailed by 19 points with three minutes left in the third quarter of Game 6 in Los Angeles, the Rockets’ championship aspirations were bleaker than a shuttle launch in a thunderstorm. However, with failure all but assured, suddenly everything changed; the clouds parted, the sun shone through, and the Rockets came away with one of the most surprising and shocking comebacks in NBA history. Houston cut the deficit to a

manageable 13 points heading into the fourth quarter, and then outscored the Clippers 40-15 in the final period on their way to a 119-107 victory. As astounding as the comeback was, it was made all the more impressive by the fact that it was accomplished without the contributions of the MVP runner-up, as James Harden sat out all but the final minute. The Rockets seized control of the series with that comeback victory, and became the ninth team in NBA history to come all the way back from a 3-1 deficit after winning Game 7 on Sunday. They’re resilient, they’re talented, and now they could just be the most overlooked and underrated 2-seed to ever make it to the Conference Finals.
