Run It Back -- 2015 Clippers-Rockets, Western Conference Finals

Run It Back -- 2015 Clippers-Rockets, Western Conference Finals

This article is part of our Fantasy Basketball Podcast series.

Nick Whalen, James Anderson and Alex Barutha look back on the seven-game series between the Clippers and Rockets and attempt to answer the following questions (and many more):

  • Was this the Clippers' last real chance at a title?
  • Was this version of the Rockets better-equipped to win in the playoffs?
  • How close was the 2015 MVP race?
  • Why were Hedo Turkoglu's socks so short?
  • Was Jamal Crawford overrated?
  • Which team had the better supporting cast?
  • Was Trevor Ariza the perfect Houston Rocket?
  • Could the Clippers have taken down the 2015 Warriors in the Conference Finals?
  • How did Chris Paul somehow end up on the Rockets just three years later?
  • Should Josh Smith have won an MVP?
  • How many MVPs should Josh Smith have?
