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

Just ask yourself. Other than kd, who can takeover? Nobody. Everyone second fiddle. Including Sengun who is a system type player.

 

The two players who’ve shown me the most, Jabari and Amen, are going to be elite role players if they aren’t already (Amen could be more if he gets to even slightly below league average from 3). I dunno what Reed’s ceiling is but he deserves some more time. Alpi has had good games this series too.

Honestly this team is a star away from being really really damn good. And a coach, too, honestly.

 

Bronny going to light us up now.

 

2 moving screens on one play ends in Smart 3...

Can we try some moving screens maybe?

 

Fire udoka. Stone.

trade Sengun.

that’s a start.

 

Raising a toast to all the game thread bros, the non casuals who sit through these bullshit games through thick and thin. It's been emotional gents, brutal season all told, let's hope we get a better one next time around. A pleasure to mourn our rebuild with all of you.

 

I think there’s literally zero chance for either

 

He can play somewhere else if they get a strong offer for him … same with Reed… come to think of it, none of them are off limits.

 

Everyone beside kd needs to play in the summer league this was pathetic af

 

Mercifully this season is finally over. What a **** show of a season.....

 

It's it football season yet?....

At least we have the world cup in a month

 

This team is 100% outclassed. Who knows who is really to blame, but blame the whole organization. What an atrocious group of players who can’t play together in a functional environment.
Whether it’s one ego vs the other, lack of accountability from the coaches/GM/owner, or lack of scouting talent, this is a mess.

I am done with this team until next year. Let lil dick KD go add to his scoring record elsewhere. He can talk **** to the fans in Orlando next year.

 

Lebron done for the night and sent in Bronny for the light work

 

Thunder will make the Lakers look as incompetent as the Lakers made the Rockets look. Multitudes and multitudes of levels below a Championship team.

 

I may be in the minority, I don't think Ime is the problem.

I think Stone is one of the worst GM in the NBA

 

Sengun has been disappointing tonight for sure but giving up on him is not the way

Need to see him in Rockets red with a competent coach before deciding he's not it

 

Tonight and every night my friends. Sorry to see it ends like this, but at least we are in it together

 

Wow we're SO bad...

 

sad but true

 

at the very least we dont have to keep fooling ourselves into thinking tari is anything more than just another guy
