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

Will we score 100 or more?

 

I believe Reed is back starting tomorrow. No way Okogie starts. Then again coach is somwhat racist and could start Tari instead.

 

Just win, baby!!! WOOOO!!!! Take care of business time!

 

Rockets lose this my prediction goes from Lakers in 5 or 6 to a sweep.

 

Game 3, one step closer to Cancun!!

 

Rockets win by blow out

 

There's a possibility (lmao) the Rox can win 4 straight, but I'm just hopeful they'd be able take this to 7 games and we'll see from there.

 

What are the chances we could get a Fire Udoka chant going once it's obvious we are going to go down 0-3?

 

We go 0-3, history and stats say we are losing it.

Cant imagine going 0-3 vs a lebron and friends. They dont even have luka or reaves.

 

This one is a blowout win Rockets.

Reed will score 20+
Alpy above 50%FG
Tari won't fall over while dribbling

 

BELIEVE

 

Isn’t it best we lose this series so Udoka can get fired and so we also can trade Sengun and Jabari and Eason and DFS in the summer? Or do we really think we have any chance with this squad?

 

I think it's criminal there's no attempt to run pick and roll with Amen and Capela with Durant, Reed, and Jabari on outside for shooting.

The old Harden system can still work.

Not saying all game long, but for 20 min when Sengun on the bench.

When Sengun is in they need to feed him in the low post and turn Durant into a catch and shoot guy instead of a turnover machine.

Amen can hit the glass on the weekside and pickup some dunks off a double to Alpi.

Bottom line is they need to look like they have a coach. There's a lot of talent on this team and they are being put in situations that make things harder for the player. It's like anti-coaching....

 

The play against Hayes has been noticeable and awful
