ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/18/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

Watching this team without KD is agony.

 

Incoming the overturn call to favor Fakers

 

man sengun needs to stop playing like a b****.

 

possibly his heel was on the line looked like from above

 

Yeah this is sad. Rockets would have lost in the play in

 

Pathetic team, trade them all

 

JJ challenge

 

Damn, this is going get overturned.

 

I said his elite skill (shooting).

 

Rockets have ZERO offense. This is embarrassing.

 

Yeah it's silly that we aren't. Sengun is absolutely wasted on the perimeter. Scoring and assisting

 

That’s gonna be Sengun’s 2nd foul

 

They can if they get into the paint at will the entire game

 

JJ reddick? come on man

 

Not enough to overturn. But this is Disney and we know what their storybook ending for this game is

 

Wtf exactly is Sengun's role on offense at this point. We play him like he's Draymond or something trying to free up Curry but we dont have Curry and Sengun doesn't set good picks. Why does every possession with him start at the top of the key always?

 

We are not getting good shots. It’s actually fortunate that we ate only down by 8.

 

Got to hit outside shots to win - someone needs to step up with Reed to win, they are packing the paint.

DD

 

They need to post him up more instead of have him faced up beyond the three point line like....literally, just post him up and pass him the ball...and work from there.

 

Bad drafting, bad coaching.

I do like the draft picks of Amen Thompson, Reed and sometimes Sengun.
