NBA Western Conference Finals 2018 Golden State Warriors VS Houston Rockets

With the upcoming western conference finals which of these teams do you think will win? Will the defending champions with 4 all-stars and 2 former MVP's win? Or the hungry Houston Rockets prove that they can go toe to toe with the Golden State Warriors. Both teams have star power and versatility yet only one will advance to the Finals and have a match with the eastern conference finals winner.

If we want to know who has an advantage then we look at the facts and stats. The Houston Rockets set an all-time record for 3 pointers, while the Golden State Warriors are the league's best shooting team inside and outside the paint. Both teams are dominating the post-season, losing only 2 games in total.
