ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/18/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

That’s because Stone can’t find a player better than old man Dickerson.

 

Well, this is as good a game as lakers have in them and it took the opposite for us for then to get it.

 

not game one with his vaginal pain

 

Any game where Sengun is routinely bringing the ball up in the backcourt I can guarantee a loss. Like every fcking time. It’s the most obvious evidence that the team broke down and has nothing.

 

At least the Kevin McHale won a down 1-3 series versus the Clippers.

Huge Comeback in Game 5 versus the Clippers down 20 points.

 

Sengun is getting B*TCHED by Ayton

What timeline is this?

 

Terrible shooting night for Reed

 

I hate Houston Rockets basketball.

Can't wait for Game 2. We going to the moon

 

Rockets start playing with intensity... with 2 minutes to go

 

Ayton outplaying Sengun so badly, it's embarrassing

 

Sengun can't even handle Ayton in a fake comeback attempt in garbage time.....

 

That’s pathetic are you going to let Ayton b**** on you? Have some pride

 

I hate watching Sengun so much.

 

This game feels like six months in an anxiety ridden place you don’t want to be

 

i really hate when teh rockets play hard to end the game. it's over.. should have blitzed to start the ****ing game.

 

It's on the player when he plays bad. Reed just missed 2 threes as I typed this. He's up to 12 for the game

 

This so embarrassing.

 

Imagine people not giving KD the credit he deserved this year.

 

Then Reed makes a 3 then misses another one lol
