Houston won't even make the playoffs

Because they don't have Gobert, of course. Although they might get Simmons here soon...

Speaking of Houston they had Harden and Capella during their big run. They had on paper what you might argue for the Mavs, Harden is similar to Luka, CP3 was a secondary ball-handler you had Capella who did rim-rolling and shot blocking + other shooters to spread the floor. They did get really close but one of the reasons they couldn't get past Golden State was Capella having some not so strong playoff performances to put it mildly. These guys are hard to play the deeper you get into the playoffs.

They of course never had KP but the point remains the same if you have KP + another expensive traditional center you are going to be playing KP, not the other guy down the stretch.
