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

He is better… at least he can hit a shot even though he ain’t s*** on defense.

 

Honestly let him shoot. Hes the only one who looks confident enough to play his game.

 

well ****, I’ll take it back. Get him the **** out there

 

I can't believe I'm hate watching my own team.

 

These losers are going to get swept

 

So many didn't understand this simple fact after game 1.

 

Mind as well get blown out and swept, this team ain’t going anywhere until get new coach and better players

 

Lebron is a great coach for this LAL team, and JJ Reddick is a decent basketball-head.

Marcus Smart is a high-IQ player too.

Honestly, that's all that takes to beat this Rockets team. ****ing ridiculous.

 

Highest IQ fan on here

 

who knew yelling at Sengun for missing a three would prevent him from taking future 3s?

 

I dunno. I think the defence system is our strength. But a donut in the middle and a wild ball watcher means it rarely works.

We need Reed hot from 3!!!

 

They're getting outworked. That wouldn't have happened last year. The toughness just isn't there. There's no heart.

 

This game makes it very clear the Lakers are playing with intention and a game plan. Rockets out there freestyling and hoping for the best. Absolutely disposable and should get the coach, gm fired.

 

This is honestly looking like a sweep

 

Sengun's more advanced numbers, especially for his age, were on the same level as Jokic at the same point in his career. He was incredible for Turkey this summer. There was plenty of reason to be excited about him.

 

Not hard to guard this team playing so discombobulated on offense.

 

That's what Houston sports does.

 

See? Movement actually leads to good things!

 

I'd rather NOT be in the playoffs than play this badly.
