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

You cannot make this **** up

 

I saw a bunch of them, but the shots misd

 

If he's not shooting good he's pretty useless. No fast twitch, no vert, no IQ, an alleged good attitude is all he has.

 

When do the playoffs start?

 

Reddick has never lost a challenge this year on national tv. Think about that.

 

Only move necessary.

 

Feels like the Lakers already got the blueprint for Houston on both ends. You can see it every possession. Game 2 can’t be more of this reactive stuff… come in with a plan and make them adjust for once.

 

I dunno man... I think we are soft enough

 

Durant was the difference today. He didn't play. We all thought he would. No one else is a reliable shooter.

 

send Sengun to Milwaukee

I’m done

Wtf was that three point shot?

 

Down 12 with 3 minutes.

With only 84pts and Ime goes to his defensive lineup.

LMAO!!!!

 

Steven Adams, DFS also

 

With that brick 3 from Alpi, we have officially conceded this game

 

lmao

 

I’ve been an Ime defender all season but yeah… this game alone is a fireable offense. You just don’t produce something this dogsh$t awful in an opening game of the playoffs and not expect ramifications. Just an embarrassing display of unprepared nonsense, and mental midgets.

 

That guy will keep lobbing bricks EVEN if he's missing. I could see if he was some amazing shooter and you could justify it by waiting for him to just catch his rhythm, but he isn't an amazing shooter.

 

Just unexpiring..get Steve Kerr so we can enjoy some actual basketball

 

Alpi 5/17, amen 6/17. Awesome

 

Maybe rest your 40 min guys and call it a day? Have some brain Udoka?

 

The funniest thing is watching Sengun brick a shot terribly and then blow on his hands like he's trying to warm them up..like his hands being ice cold were the reason he sucks offensively.....

 

Don't insult Jokic like that. Sengun is nowhere like Jokic
