After every season there are always “what ifs” for a lot of teams around the NBA. The biggest what if in this postseason so far has involved Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets.
Paul has had bad postseason luck throughout his career. As a member of the Clippers, he missed the first two games of a second-round series in 2015 against the Rockets, eventually resulting in a Game 7 loss. In 2016, both Paul and Blake Griffin suffered season ending injuries in Game 4 against the Trail Blazers. As expected, the Blazers won the next two games and finished the series in six.
