ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 4/24/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Silver lining: only by being humiliated, changes will be made. Nobody is safe. This is a very flawed roster with flawed players.

These players are not not good to wear Rockets red.

 

Sengun has to play 40+ minutes.

 

The rocket’s system/Udoka is so bad. You have to GET SHEPP OPEN like how GSW does for Curry. But instead we dont do anything for Shepp and we make him do everything for himself, and that’s hurting us. Why is Udoka so bad and why don’t we have a system!

Watching our team, NOBODY is ever setting screens so Shepp can get open…

 

you’ll see on ESPN bleacher etc for the next year. Lebron alley oop to Bronny for a layup, play before he hit a 3.

 

the old school rave tunes are more entertaining than this weak ass performance from the bunch of b****es who used to be known as a tough defensive team last season. Dillon Brooks actually ****ing was the franchise player ffs

 

Bronny James!?! This team is broken. Take the sweep and be out of your misery….take your national and local media ass whipping like a man.

 

The all suck please just euthanize this current team and put it out of its
Misery

 

This it’s the same **** on defense every single time.

a good coach has answers.

 

At the game, all the bronny fanboys started making out with each other after those buckets

 

Let's go back to laughing at @Tfor3 turd polishing the Trump pedo cabal and the Iran war loss - it's better than this game.

 

Lakers keep throwing up junk and it’s going in. Rockets just junk

 

I wonder what’s the next thing Stone will accuse us fans of taking out of context next time around.

 

We had 10 first round picks since 2021.

And, this is the best we came up with. Stone can go to hell

 

Uhnnn...not seeing any franchise player (apologies to all the franchise player threads in GARM).

 

he’s missing open shots…………

 

refs are helping the rockets and they can't even cut down the deficit

 

I can see a team having ultra hot shooting 1 game in a series but not 2 times in 3 games. This is an indictment of Ime’s failure to understand that the best defense is not hustling and challenging every shot, but forcing teams out of their comfort zone and making them take shots they don’t want to take. His philosophy is the equivalent of a boxer who thinks it’s better to withstand multiple punches to the face rather than move around and dodge the punches.

 

Our entire starting lineup is -5 or below outside of Eason. Let's not just pick one out and blame him. He actually found open players. I'm not excusing his shooting, but 2 of his 3's were shot clock 3's which shouldn't have been forced to take, one was a sengun pass that basically landed at his feet.

People love picking out stats with out mentioning the circumstances.

Again, not excusing the shooting, but man, what is Reed supposed to do with a lineup with no shooters out there? He's forced to try and do too much.

 

reed needs to fuggin learn how to play defense properly
