ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/21/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

I want to care but..

 

Hes a low IQ player in the paint. He gets there and passes it out to the bricklayers

 

Ok, I don’t want to jinx it, but…

 

Also a possibility…this game feels super rigged.

 

12-0 run!

 

He's 0-3 with 0 points

 

I feel bad for KD. He has to bail out these scrubs

 

MOOD

 

How does Amen miss that layup?

Only guys not playing scared is KD, Jabari and Tari

Everyone else is shellshocked

 

Yes part of it is Ime...playing Alpi with Tate/Amen is helping none of those guys...but he's not making his shots, looks sloppy, looks like a goof.

He's better than this, I'm sure even he'd tell you he's been garbage.

 

Finally a run. We had 8 points in the quarter two minutes ago

 

As soon as I stopped stress eating, we went on a run. No more food for me.

 

kd was right about everything

 

As soon as the double comes in there needs to be ball movement. Oh well.

 

Jesus this team is schizophrenic!!!!

 

16-4 as a starter. You are going to the bench
Makes one mistake. You are going to the bench.
9-0 run just now. You are going to the bench.

 

Keep Tate off the damn floor!

 

I just watched a fantastic game between the Spurs and Blazers, where the Blazers squeaked out a win partly due to Wemby being out but also because they ran plays and hit their open shots. Scoot Henderson looked like a total boss anda was able to get his middle any time he wanted.

Meanwhile, rather than trying to surround either Amen or Alpi with 4 shooters, we instead add Tate to the mix. Utterly stupid basketball -did Ime get dropped on his head?

We’ve finally made a run thanks to the Laker careless turnovers but we can’t count on that - we have to be able to generate offense in the half court.

 

Tilman needs to start getting involved again, he step away after the whole westbrook for CP3 trade and been letting stone handle everything and in turn also letting Ime run things to.
