Recently, Chai Meng recalled the 2019 series against the Rockets in his podcast.

Chai Meng said: "(2019) we ended them in G6. It was an interesting series, and we ended that era. The Rockets made it clear that they were built to defeat the Warriors. They said so in the media, and they said this all year long. They switched defenses endlessly just to beat the Warriors. After eliminating them, they It has to be dismantled. The Rockets always said that they built the team to defeat the Warriors, but they failed to do so, so they need to dismantle the team. And we won without Kevin (Durant), so they had to dismantle the lineup. They had no way to deal with Curry and I's pick-and-roll."

In the 2019 Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors eliminated the Rockets 4-2.
