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

The chances of this ended the moment Ime made it clear that the priority this season was helping Katie hit more scoring milestones. A good coach would have suspended Katie for the Dickerson tweets but nothing happened at all. You cannot allow one guy to publicly humiliate his teammates and then either do nothing or keep it completely behind closed doors.

Our idiot GM thought trading for the league’s most mercenary of players would help improve this team when it was still growing. I liked moving on from Jalen but it seems the cure for his inconsistency was way worse than the problem.

 

Bronny getting half time interviews haha. Straight getting embarrassed and humiliated on live tv

 

they interviewed bronny james LOL

houston's new low

 

Rockets would probably lose a series to every team in the playoffs this year. That locker room is probably dead asf, no chemistry. Attitude reflects leadership. Team so bad that Bronny is the halftime guest.

 

OMG they're mugging us off here lads, Bronny's getting a ****ing interview. HE actually does sound like a mini LeBron, that's kinda weird. He's like the shitty homunculus version

 

Bronny halftime interview

 

This total failure is not on the players (okay, maybe some), but it definitely is on the coaching staff and organization. We haven't had any real success since Fertits took over. Who knew Les could look good in comparison?

 

Come on, gotta do something to start the second half, show some kind of energy.

Again, players in the same spot on offense. How does this happen so freaking much?

 

Kennard out there I got Reed on an island and cook him like chicken

 

Marcus smart looks five years younger

 

+4 for the series with Sengun on the floor

-23 when he's on the bench.

But we should all blame that guy for everything and send him out of town

 

Who knew Dillon Brooks was a key part to last year's defense. Sigh

 

Yeah just another turnover

 

Yeah just another foul

 

it's back to the Bill-Simmons-what-the-fook-are-the-Rockets-doing-on-offense offense again

 

No movement, and Jabari gets his 4th foul.

I'm done with Ime. Yes the players have their faults, but the system alone or lack there of gives these players no chance...no chance at all.

 

Jabari plays selfish as hell

 

Yeah just Twitter gate

 

I can't remember the last time we got swept in playoffs.

Harden with scrubs even won a game in their 1st playoffs which played against Warriors.

 

LeBron at 41 is genuinely better than every player on our roster and ex player on our bench combined
