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

Silver lining is it's still an one possession game at the halftime

 

I believe.

Lakers celebrating on the bench like they are up 20.
Smart won't hit 3 triples in the 2nd half.

Big 3rd Q to go up 20, collapse in the 4th and hold on for a 2pt wim

 

Marcus no eye contact with Ashley. She’s putting the jinx on him.

Called Luke, Luka. He’s nervous asf

 

There is no good reason for Sengun to play so soft.

 

Our last offense was a TO by KD because he just wanted to give someone a chance to heat up a bit.

There's no answer for the young bucks on the squad. They gotta find it in themselves to know they belong on that court.

 

I really like Josh Okogie. He would be fine as a starter if we had another true offensive star to pair with KD.

In a perfect world he should be like an ideal 7/8th man.

 

All star Sengun 3-8 6 points.

This reminds me of when Mitchell Robinson sonned both Mobley/jarrett Allen singlehandedly a few years back in the first rd

 

It’s literally why we losing. That whole team believes and our whole team doubting itself

 

Amen

 

Durant picked the wrong team but he himself is just another chemistry killer.

 

the chances I'm awake at the end of this game are about the same as the chances the Rockets win


pretty low

 

Amen is too small.

 

One guy has 3 assists in 6 min.

 

if the 4 guys out there with him are only out of KD/Tari/Bari/Reed/Okogie I agree.

He's getting thrown out there with Tate/Holiday/Amen, Rockets really need to learn that spacing matters.

 

The lack of confidence, motivation and concentration is very low. Lakers completely opposite. İme probably spent the two day rest to **** on the players.

 

KD with 20 pts, Rockets still lose.

 

Playing like babies for much of the first half

 

we should had trades Sengun not JG it's crazy how stone made that mistake...

 

Kevin may have to play the entire 2nd half. It is what it is. Hope the knee holds up.
