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

that's gonna hurt Al Pee's MVP chances for sure

 

So basically they're not going to, but theoretically he feels comfortable doing it. What an ass, terrible answer.

 

Glad he learned from last year blunders lol.

I guess this means Reed is not going to play much. With Aaron being on a semi hot streak to end the season, he will get Reed's minutes since he brings a defensive presence to the court.

 

I can’t add anything positive but want to say…

go Rockets

 

in other words

 

This is either going to be really good or a flaming pile of dog ****

 

The Lakers have the best 3pt shooter Luke Kennard who can shoot 47.8% from downtown.

I hope stupid Ime don't see him as scrubs and downplay him. Don't be stupid. Give him tough defense.

 

still gotta wait another 48+ hours... smh

 

Does Reed guard Bronny?

 

Reed will play the role that Rolando Blackman did with the 1994 Knicks.... watch our version of John Starks brick our way to a loss while sitting on the bench.

 

For homocide coaches, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called in. Their chance of solving a first game win is cut in half if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours.

 

deserves its own thread

 

Reed won’t be enough, Playoff Bronny requires an entire defensive game plan.

 

Let’s fckn go Rockets

 

Sadly that dude still hung up on the wrong team. But Kob got him a ring I guess.

 

Saw one laker podcaster who said that one guy the Rockets don’t have to worry about is Vanderbilt because Reddick can’t stand him lol. He used to be a good player….i wonder what happened
