The winner of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets will be the heavy favorite to win the 2018 NBA title. If the Warriors had homecourt advantage, there is little doubt that they would be favored to win the series.
With the Rockets having the luxury instead, it feels much more like a coin flip, especially considering Andre Iguodala was out for Game 5 and both Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry are both banged up.
The Warriors could have all but clinched another championship by winning Game 4.
