Any other playoffs series you want me to edit?
celtics vs nets
LAKERS VS MEMPHIS
Kings vs warriors
Blazers vs nuggets
My mom is trans
What a lot of people don't realize is that this is the only playoff series where EVERY SINGLE GAME was within 5 POINTS or less! That's crazy. Each game was that close. IMO the best series I've ever seen. What a time!
Damn even I didn’t realize that.
Beautiful basketball was being played
Wrong. Game 2 was 6 points.
@@trippinatormachine Ok but it was still a close game. Thanks for the correction i guess.
@@trippinatormachine please you want me to give you a medal now or later?
'15 to '18 Rockets-Warriors rivalry is top-tier. Always fun to revisit
Not really a rivalry if one team never won😭
@@Ben-A24 what he meants is best series to revesit
15-19
The last rivalry in the NBA
@@Ben-A24nah. Just two teams that didn't like each other. The Rockets were close but just couldn't get over that hump vs GS
I remember that game 6 steph had 0 points in the first half, then dropped 33 in the second half like that shits crazy.
The fact Harden avg 35 this series always gets forgotten. Boy went 1v5
Right they sit there and say he doesn’t play defense like dude he has to score damn near all the points !
@@kaartiercuz that’s how the offense is set up. He goes 1v1 while his teammates spot up and watch. Obviously he’s gonna have crazy stats
This series is underrated and it doesn’t get talk about enough Houston arguably should’ve beat them in game 5 and in game 6 to win the series since kd got hurt
The warriors were still a CRAZY good team without Durant so I expected them to win either way
I know but at the same time Houston should’ve took advantage of that especially in game 6 when curry was off in the first half
@@samuelamankwa Okay nevermind I forgot this was the 2018 not 2017 series. The warriors weren’t all that deep and were mostly top heavy so yeah I could see why you say the rockets could’ve and probably should’ve won when KD went down
@@VonKappallot yeah and also this series they went 7 games was in the 2018 WCF and this one was in 2019 Second Round
@@samuelamankwa Yeah my fault I got em mixed up
As a Rockets fan, it hurts (a lot) looking back on our recent battles against the Warriors. We had SO many opportunities...
It's painful fr. The amount of missed calls smh
@@carnage3208nah what’s painful is losing to them in 2019 when they had no kd or demarkus cousins but rockets fan used the excuse they didn’t have cp3 in 2018 hahaha
@DreFellOff Idk where this narrative of "No KD" came from like they didn't have him all series save for 1 game. Not like the warriors weren't still championship level without him as they still made the finals without him, swept the Blazers. And CP was a shell of himself 2019 compared to 18. He was a liability in 19, he had no effect whatsoever in that series except maybe the last game
@@carnage3208the thing is the rockets were a great team that should’ve gotten it done they take the warriors 7 games the year prior with KD playing and cp3 out so the fact the next year warriors lose kd amd demarcus with a worser bench the next year and it was 2-2 with kd getting injured early game 5 they should’ve gotten it done considering the opportunity they finally had to beat them
@@victorayala9541See again you’re really trying to make the Rockets look worse lol KD didn’t get injured until the end of the 3rd quarter in game 5, and the Warriors were leading throughout the game on their home floor. Plus they still had prime Steph, Klay, Draymond, so it’s not like they couldn’t win 1 game and 1 quarter without KD. Just comes down to Steph and Klay had their best basketball of the series in those last 5 quarters which made Durant’s absence not matter much. For what it’s worth, Harden and CP3 combined for 60 in game 6.
Edit: I mean look at those last three 3s Klay and Steph hit. All of them were heavily contested, first two were off the dribble. What are you supposed to do against that? Houston played a great game and kept scoring on the other end, and they consistently defended Steph well all series (look at his numbers). Warriors just got hot at the right time
we miss prime harden🥲
I miss prime kd
This is my life in a nutshell crying towards different incredible sport moments i loved every bit of this what a game love your content🏀
Pacers vs Miami is a great series bc Paul George and lebron were going at it
Yea
What about Miami vs bulls 2011
raptors vs pacers and miami in 2016 were great series too
@@agustineduardosanchezjr.1550the heat that year also went 7 games with the hornets
East was boring. The only good series was Boston vs Miami. Others are awful to watch
Golden Hoops keeping it real and relevant before the season starts. I am a fan of Golden Hoops. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Eric Gordon is such an underrated shooter
STEPH to CP3 “KICK ME OFF THE COURT AGAIN BOY!” 🔥😂
now they're teammates
@@railyore57 🔥🔥💪🏾
People tend to crap a lot on James Harden for his playoff performances and I get that sometimes he under performs but he the only player to make the warriors go 7 fully healthy, you gotta respect that
They don't hear you. Somehow his style "can't win" yet he was the only one to challenge the best, or at least most stacked, team of all time
@@carnage3208he? Or the rockets? There’s a difference
@@carnage3208 And he his style couldn't beat the Trailblazers, Spurs, Lakers, Heat, and Celtics... his style can't not win and that's facts my guy lmfao.
@jasonmoukala8909 Of course the Rockets, but he was the only lone star
@jordancromwell Or maybe, they were just better teams than the ones he was on lol not to mention he was always by himself. His "style" was the only "style" that made the greatest team of all time get outta their bed and actually have to compete, were it not for a literal dynasty in his way he'd easily have a ring his MVP year, and that's facts "my guy" 😂.
Loved game 3 from the block from capela to gordon poppin off to iguodala wit a clutch shot to hearing that “harden stepback 3.. BANGG!!” Js loved this game so much
Thank you for this video. such a great series. The Rockets would have been considered one of the best teams of all time led by Harden, if it wasnt for Golden State just being unbelievable and unbeatable offensively. Such great basketball. not much defense but just straight hoops
That last play the warriors did at the end of the video is my favorite warriors play
Man I love yo edits and I loved this series❤
Man, I love you too ❣️
This 🔥 can u keep doing these
Red against blue is just appealing to the eye💯
This and the Kawhi spurs were the only chances of stoping the dynasty right in the making.
OKC in '16 as well.
makes me sad that this Rockets team didnt win at least 1. It was literally only GSW in their way
Ikr. The Rockets legit could've won back-to-back if it wasn't for GSW.
This series proves that CP3 getting hurt in 2018 would not change the result
Houston’s chemistry wasn’t the same this year. Harden and cp3 were going at it all year long and back in 2018 they were locked in all year to win a championship and they put there egos aside
@@ignaciglo5107 still shoulda beaten gsw with CP3 and without KD
It’s not like the rockets got completely blown out every game, the winner would win by 3 or 2 points so the warriors weren’t better by a lot
@@ignaciglo5107 harden was mostly choking in the 4th quarter of game 5 and game 6, it's like they were afraid to win now that KD was hurt
@@IsaihTomic-lf8rmnobody cares. I remember everybody picking the Rockets and acting like the Warriors had no chance without KD. Take L forever. Steph & Klay came up big
These series were EPIC.
Referees were kind to Golden State in the first game. Harden got fouled multiple times while shooting the 3 in the first quarter.
If KD didn't got injured, it would've been a 3 peat. They just don't have an answer for Kawhi on that 2019 finals. Plus Klay got injured on Game 6. Warriors had a lead before Klay got injured. It would've been a Game 7 too. But the Raptors deserved that championship.
i hate the warriors but yea they would've 3 peated
I harden had actual help y'all ain't making the finals kd klay and curry are just too much for harden and still he literally gives those warriors some legit problems
Even as a Dubs fan, I'm not sure. Our flaws were laid bare during the Houston series, and I knew after when Toronto came back to beat the Bucks, that they would beat us in the Finals. We did not match up very well with them even if we had KD because they had guys who could defend Steph, and Klay endlessly for a 7 game series.
@@michaelhession2105 Good point. But in my humble opinion, that series could've went diffirently. I mean the only thing that the Warriors struggle with is Kawhi. Old Iguodala can't guard Kawhi Leonard. Draymond Green is guarding Siakam. But the raptors are struggling to defend Steph. That's why if KD was there, there will be a hard fought Game 7 and the Warriors will win it. We may have our flaws but Steph single handedly beat the rockets on Game 5 and 6 that time. They had the experience. But Raptors deserved that title. That was a good title run.
Yea kawhi deserved it. As a warriors fan we hated lebron, especially when they started super teams with the heat but the spurs was the only team that stopped em besides dirk's mavericks
man i miss this Klay Thompson. He used to be such a bailout shooter
KD in this playoffs was averaging 35 a game before he got injured, an underrated what if, I honestly thought KD was on his way to cementing his legacy by winning 3 straight Chips and FMVPS while doing the third one on an historical level
sure seemed headed that way. would have put himself with jordan and shaq as the only modern players to do that alas the injuries took him out.
they really didn't need kd honestly klay was playing out of his mind in those playoffs if either one would've remained they would've vlosed the show
the fan bases make this so good there so loud it makes it hype af
Idk if I'm the only one but I feel this series is better than the WCF. It's pure entertainment and emotions since all games are so close only to be decided by 6 pts or less.
Yeah the Blazers were very inferior to the Rockets, they had 0 fight
@@carnage3208 yeah also this. But I'm directly referring to their 2018 WCF series, I feel their 2019 Semis was better than their 2018 WCF
@@themaverick_1937 Oh I see what you mean, I misread, that's an interesting take but I get why people say that since every game was decided by 5 points or less. Competitive series despite the Rockets being significantly worse than they were the year before, that series should've gone 7 too tbh
@@themaverick_19372018 had a lot more crazy moments imo, lots of tight finishes and tactics. 2019 game 3 was amazing though
This is when god mode curry stepped up for the warriors when Durant went down
That's why this series isn't talked about like that
@@derrickhoward1543I don’t know why it isn’t talked about enough💀 folks will talk about 2018 and the “missed foul calls” in that game 7 when houston chunked up 27 str8 bricks and cp3s injury even though they was up 15+ in both games 6 and 7 but doesn’t wanna talk about this series when KD got hurt in game 5 and curry scored 12 in the 4th and 33 in a single half the next game
@@yoitsSmitty2004 They are trying to erase it from the history books
I am a fan of Golden Hoops ❤
Prime Harden is such a different beast! I miss this year too!
Makes me miss that roaracle arena atmosphere. That sf crowed in chase center be pissing me off.
Yes! This series is wildly underrated!
Bro simply refuses to miss
Yo for one of your playoff vids do 2014 clippers vs warriors
Game 1 was a flop fest by houston I watched that live I was a casual back then all I remembered was Harden falling after every 3 attempt and KD dropped like 35 and Steph's dagger on nene😭😭
Probably the closest anyone has ever been to beating the KD, Steph, and Klay warriors in the playoffs other than kawhi
you the goat 🐐
Appreciate it
Curry owns the rockets and blazers
Don’t know if you did bulls celtics 2009 but that would be a good one
I am a fan of golden hoops!
Thunders vs Spurs 2012 WC Finals 💯
You are the most insane CZcamsr
Can you do Celtics vs Cavs when it was Tatum rookie year.
Never would have thought cp3 in gsw 5 years later
Pacers vs Cavs 2018 next pls
We always got the best of the rockets, even though kd went out, curry klay dray and them still closed it out
the series before this was a good one as well
the good ol days😔
This was a fun rivalry as warriors fan. Really is a chess match.
Take me back to prime harden 😔
more forgotten but arguably the better series. Steph was also in the same situation Harden was the year before but was able to close out
The Rockets like the previous year deserved to lose that series. When the Warriors are the more likable team in the eyes of the public, you know you're a team that everyone wants to see fail. Game 5 was pathetic for the Rockets. I'm still in shock that the Dubs won that game and the series. We were dead to rights after Game 4. Boogie Cousins out for the entire series, KD gets injured in Game 5, Iggy isn't 100%, Steph isn't 100%, Klay is inconsistent, Draymond fouls out in Game 5, and Kerr uncharacteristically is making boneheaded decisions, and the Rockets STILL end up losing in 6 games. This was karma for them blaming the officials for why they lost Game 7 in 2018 when in reality they missed 27 three-pointers in a row. This was the moment I knew that James Harden is one of the greatest chokers in NBA History. The fact that the Dubs were literally handing the Rockets opportunities to win the series, and STILL couldn't pull it off was baffling. Although this series did lay the Warriors' flaws bare, and Toronto took full advantage of it in the Finals.
why do you think they missed 28 threes? the refs gave retard calls that blew away all the rockets momentum. The warriors would have been the biggest joke in the nba and adam silver wasn't letting that happen.
0:50 what is cp doin bruh 💀
The crowd is totally 🌡️🔥Goosebumps
I’m just still waiting on Blazers in 6
2019 they had no excuse. Durant and boogie were hurt and they still lose
Act like the warriors r trash without kd😭
@@ggsjamalnoon1267nah fr they really coulda won the finals too if klay stayed healthy that season 🤣🤣 that team was a little too OP lmfaooo
Either of these 2 team should've won the 2019 final low key
This series was honestly better than the 2018 one
Its sad too cause this series should've been better too, the amount of missed foul calls for the Rockets in game 1 was laughable, they had that one
Nobody:
Me: I am a fan of, Golden Hoops..! 👀
Utah VS OKC 2018
i am a fan of golden hoops
ROCKETS vs WARRIORS WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST PLAYOFFS SERIES EVER.
AND BACK IN 2010s, SPURS vs GRIZZLIES IMO WAS THE GREATEST SEASON GAME WHEN THEY FACE EACH OTHER.
More like a three point contest instead of a playoff game
Austin rivers said they were basically trying to build the rockets team to beat the warriors something around those lines
Do 2011 mavs vs heat
Best series in the playoffs in the last 15 years
Ammm 2016 cavs vs warriors?
@@martinssilis7174 too much controversy. Draymond suspension, Bogut getting hurt...
that 2009 bulls vs celtics is still the goat playoff series if you're just judging the competitiveness of the games obviously it didn't have as many storylines
@@amarjohl2926 well thats why it was so great. It had everything: great performances, trash talk, storylines, lebron bringing a chip to cleveland, greatest team (record wise) coming back from 3-1 to okc and then cavs doing the same to them, game 6 masterpiece by kyrie and bron, and then the game 7.
@@martinssilis7174 I prefer series without politics.
Wiki needs to put a GSW - HOU rivalry, they are the second best opponent against warriors
I miss oracle man :((
I would argue this series was better than 2018. Just about every game was close. Epic moments. 2018 also had that and it went 7, but the Rockets huge choke and the games being not quite as close makes me believe 2019 was better
Durant in gsw was a blessing.
This rockets team was the only team that matches the warriors. I remember watching this 2019 rockets and every game feels like game 7. I really believe that if they ever won that series they could've easily swept the blazers and if they were healthy against the raptors they could have won the chip that year and even in 2018 where they met the warriors in the WCF If they won that series they could have swept the Cavs that year . This rockets team could have won 2 chips . and build a dynasty of their own . I really believed that.
love it
Said they woulda won the year with cp3 so we ran it back with em healthy and no KD and still won. Boss shit
That 2018 team was 65 wins lol in 2019 they were pretty bad, 5th seed IIRC
Rockets lost key role players as well also cp3 wasnt the same that year
@@wutjusthappenedlol7543warriors didn’t have KD nor Boogie they was pretty much a small ball squad
Harden was unstoppable
Peak basketball right here
That hamstring...
I miss this klaya form
2016 Thunder vs Spurs
The only thing that could be better is fan chants.
Do bulls vs Boston 2009 playoffs
After this series they were cooking the Blazers with blown leads
They had always been
without kd too lol. pretty impressive
This mf harden like 5 plays from 3 rings 😭
The Steph not clutch thing is a nasty narrative
0:51 LEFYOUTHREE
I hate the Rockets broke up like they did. Yeah, they never got a chip but they were a PROBLEM every year. All they needed was for Harden not to shrink in crucial games and they’d have at least 1-2 chips. The West is just tough to come out of.
If you look at his stats he's not nearly as bad in the playoffs as people make it seem like he is
@@Doc-ch5oz besides his time on OKC, he averaged almost 40 PPG. He’s averaged 15 points per game LESS in the playoffs. What stats are YOU looking at???
@@chillwillfromthevillethe rockets teams were only legit bc of James harden. James harden averaged 28 in the playoffs for Houston ? And 29.6 in his peak and averaged 36 against the warriors in 2019. Why are u lying about 15 points less?
What year was this? 18 or 19?
19
Harden chokes a lot but this was peak hoops tbh
I think their battle in 2018 is much better
Thunder Vs warriors 2016 wcf
This was the nba finals
I remembered people saying if cp3 didnt get injured game 7 2018 playoffs they wouldve have won. Still same results tho
Not the same cp3 tho...did you actually watch the series both years or any game of the rockets those years?..freaking casuals making assessments from reddit and youtube highlight videos...
@@georgevenues4066You probably picked the Rockets to win just like everybody else. When KD got injured, everybody thought it was over for The Warriors. They were fools to think that. CP3 was out there with them Boyz fully healthy and got cooked. Miss me with this bs.
@@georgevenues4066it's you whos the casual warrior hater😂😂😢
@@georgevenues4066lmfao cry more puss boy, cp3 was healthy the very next year and warriors still beat them in 6😂 tell cp3 and harden to stop choking and maybe they could’ve get a ring or two
2018 rockets vs 2018 gsw is the best
For me this warriors - rockets rivalry is more fun and exciting than
Gsw and cavs..
If it wasn’t for this golden state team
James Harden maybe a top 5 all time player
