    Rockets had Hartenstein once upon a time. No idea he would become the best defensive big in the league.

    Indy is tough as nails and clutch, OKC could not have wished for a tougher opponent. Kudos.

    If the Rockets replaced Jalen Green with Jalen Williams, would they be in the Finals instead of OKC?

    Nope, but if they got Shai and Chet without giving up Sengoon, yeah.

    I disagree.

    Remove Williams from OKC.

    Remove Jalen from Houston replacing him with Williams.

    I'm confident it would happen.

    They would not beat Denver with Williams who had his worst performance against Nuggets.

    He came alive against the Wolves but boi the Nuggets nearly got them.

    The thing is OKC has two x-tra gears to go to.....the Rockets don't have that.....

    Hard to see the Pacers even winning one game.
