Another funny thing about sports fandom: you know what fanbase is definitely not rooting for the Heat? Rockets fans. Why? Because Rockets fans are the sort of self-absorbed that they want to be able to say that they are fans of the only team in NBA history to have won a championship without having homecourt in any round of the playoffs.
possible Ime Udoka will have his original coaching staff available to him this off-season after all.
Barling and KC had been bringing up the potential awkwardness of some Boston assistant coaches staying with Mazzulla and others going to Houston to re-join Udoka but I’d be surprised if Mazzulla was retained if this incoming 0-3 proves to be too deep a hole as it has every other time in NBA history.
Fine, but we've still got to make it interesting: drink two cups of water every time they mention 'undrafted players,' but you're not allowed to use the bathroom until the game is over.

Rockets fans are weird, man: they rooted for the Heat in 2011, just because they wanted to have 'bragging rights' over Mavericks fans. Like Dallas never having won a championship somehow made theirs more 'special,' or some bulls***.

If it happens, this would be the first time both conference finals ended in a sweep in the NBA since 1957. They weren't even called conferences back then.
