Like Jonah Hill's character in "Super Bad" famously said: "People don't forget."
But man, the Houston Rockets really wish people would have a case of amnesia when it comes to Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference finals.
You know the story. With a chance to knock off the defending champion Warriors, the Rockets missed 27 straight 3-pointers en route to a 101-92 loss. The Dubs went on to dust the Cleveland Cavaliers and win their second straight title.
While only a year has passed, James Harden and Co. had hoped the world at large had forgotten their historic cold streak.
Steve Kerr has not.
Ahead of Saturday night's Game 3 in Houston, the Warriors head coach was asked a question about last year's Game 7. When the reporter said the Rockets missed 26 straight 3-pointers, Kerr had to poke some fun at his Western Conference rivals.

With the Warriors leading their Western Conference semifinals series 2-0, Kerr has the luxury of cracking jokes at Houston's expense.
The Dubs can push the Rockets to the brink of elimination with a win Saturday in Game 3, and then the jokes will really start flowing.
