ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/21/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

Twice, Jabari Smith defended Kennard, and both times Kennard got open shots. Okogie needs to play at all times to defend Kennard.

 

Ime is a stupid coach.

He has nothing to limit Kennard.

What a joke.

 

The have a good coach, they have a floor general who is as good as a coach, we have neither

 

I don’t think we set a single pick for our PG Amen in 8 minutes of playing for him to get downhill

 

I thought he knew his role was to SHOOT THE BALL

 

we’d be down 10 right now if not for KD

whoever injured him needs to get beaten with a stick…I bet you it was Sengun

 

Stone needs to be fired for not signing harden when he wanted to come back twice because Ime wanted to win his way

 

I'm disappointed with the results.

 

Sure, Fred or even Jalen would help Sengun with the occasional pick & toll but if he can't make mildly contested shots from 3 to 6 feet - his whole raison d'etre - he's done as a starter level NBA player

Like not even trade him done, waive - stretch done!

 

Here comes the traps on KD for the rest of the game.

Ime going to act like he’s never seen it before and get torched by a rookie coach.

 

Lakers are shooting out of this world right now they have to come down to earth at some point right?

 

My money is on Tate

 

Sengun is fine, if Reed is playing this way, he is causing KD turn overs. He needs to go to bench and Holiday up.

 

Sengün posting up at the 3 point like has to be the worst offensive play in the league.

 

The Lakers wont shoot that hot again.

64% from the field.

 

Kennard is such an elite shooter.

 

sounds like Deja Vu

 

he chucked last game so i think playing timid today. no room for that p***y **** though

 

Let's be honest, LeBron's likely a WAY better coach than Ime all by himself even if you discount Redick who clearly has more chops than Ime.

 

BUT HE WOULD ASK FOR PICS OF HIS MOM AND SISTER
