ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/18/2026

Don’t get why Rockets passing is always delayed. Its never hitting the open man at the right time. Always 1 or 2 seconds behind when the pass should have been made which leads to closeouts or defenders coming out to defend etc. Thompson had Eason wide open on the left for a layup. Instead decided to hold then passed it a second late leading to defenders catching up and stacking the paint. Doesn’t make sense to me. Sengun, Durant, Thompson, Sheppard all do this

 

Durant 2 points second half last game - 2 points 1st half this game

lol and we scrapped goated our chemistry and youth for him

 

I’m gonna watch the SMU/Miami OH play in game… it will be way more entertaining and not frustrating because I don’t care who wins.

Rockets, I leave you with hope and a prayer for the second half comeback

 

Adjustments…never heard of them.

 

This team has fallen off a cliff the past 3 months. I’m honestly not opposed to just letting KD rest the remainder of the season and just get prepared for next season.

 

i don't blame KD for giving up on a trash ass coach.

 

same vibes

 

Let him n eason walk.

 

We turned Harden down for free over concerns about disrupting offensive flow and not playing defense… and then traded Dillon for KD and extended him for 100 mill

 

KD, "it's on me. I mean, to be honest, I'm the offense."

Next game goes 1-3 and 2 points in the first half. Nice!

 

Broadcast team just nailed it. The focus on offensive boards allows other teams to murder us in transition

These are choices being made. It has nothing to do with Fred being out. Tari and DFS should not be out there. Play a two-way guy. Ime chooses to gift minutes to his wings no matter how poorly they play.

 

Jokic almost has quadruple double tonight.

 

I mean at least they are having fun

 

LeBron and Luka 18 pts each smh

 

Where is Tate, Holiday and JD. Dumb coaches play 8 players only

 

I was told the rockets would beat the Lakers in the playoffs..........

 

Too late.

 

I am by no means a basketball savant but some of the stuff that I see from this team makes me feel like I'm watching a pickup game and not an NBA team that presumably practices together and has a coaching staff to provide instructions. It's becoming harder and harder to invest time/energy watching this.

 

hoping Rockets turn out a W, otherwise good night.
