ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 5/1/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

Just hope management doesn't blame KD's injury.

And thinks FVV's return solves everything.

 

that Jabari off the backboard brick was a perfect cap to this sh*tty season

 

All right, gonna call it there. What a weird, ugly, stupid winning season. Hope we never see KD in a Rockets uniform again. Hope we never see Ime coach again. Hope Stone has to go back to practicing law.

But not optimistic on any of those counts. Thanks for buying the team, you f**kass bootlicking con artists.

 

They all are. No one is doing their jobs, including the coaches.

 

Jo was the same but then JO played really well. Ime never gave Clint another chance. he has no feel for the game. Going small was so dumb when none of them can even shoot.

 

"you sound upset" Said the realist who cant hear my voice lol So KD gets to keep the rosey sample size of the regular season but ignore the 0-1 of the playoffs lol How convenient. I suppose youre gonna ignore the sample size of us without him last year being a better happier team all around? Do you have a convenient excuse for that too? OH and what about the Suns they have way better chemistry and their locker room didnt hate each other this year? Is there a convenient excuse for that too lol You know what dont answer that cuz Ive heard all of the excuses before. No need to reply. I'll just pick one myself for you. "we didnt have fred (how come the young guys dont get that excuse)" "suns had terrible coaches (they both won chips)" "suns had a winning record when KD was on the floor the locker room issues had nothing to do with him (He still hasnt spoken to booker)" "His texts arent the cause of the chemistry issues, how do you even know that was him. If you find out it was him, he was right (we were third seed before the texts)" blah blah blah excuse excuse excuse. I dont care just want him gone.

 

The way they are finishing the game really says a lot. Boy.

 

Fk u stone

 

just not our century

 

I’ll take this over getting swept, because that would’ve been too embarrassing for me to handle

but this team and this core just ain’t it

they went down 3-1 last year to GS

down 3-0 to this Lakers team missing 2 of their 3 best players

neither of those teams were world beaters or top notch WC teams, and yet we were getting manhandled

we’ll win around 50 games every year just based off hustle, defense, and brutalizing teams on the offensive boards…but in the postseason, we’re a joke and who every team wants to face

 

I like how Ime is making the starters run this out

Making them own this blowout is the best coaching all year

 

We could have played AVERAGE BASKETBALL and won this game.

 

lmao the timing of that KD Cerave commercial

 

I think there's a strong chance Ime is gone after this off-season. 50/50 chance Stone is gone too, which I hope happens. We need big changes.

 

both of them need to go too

 

The Tari on Bron matchup has been a joke all day

So keep doing it in the 4th!

 

That is the Sliver Nitrate lining

Getting embarrassed by the Lakers sucks but getting embarrassed by the Thunder would *also* suck and increase the "run it back" chance

 

I considered it, but I decided I’d hold off to be disappointed in the 2nd round if we made it there.
Glad I held back

 

I cannot fathom how All Pee manages to fall so f'ing much.

 

Bunch of pussywillows

89 points in an elimination game last year

will be lucky to score 75 tonight
