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

What a shiit team we are rooting for.

Embarrassed.

 

yaaaaa! But if you get in a car accident tomorrow? Who you gonna call!!!! Better call Stoneeeee.

 

At first I thought this couldn't be right, but then I thought about it and have agree. That's really sums it up. I do think our various pieces could find success (relatively) on other teams with the rights pieces/systems/coaching around them. But not together in this group.

 

We spend 18 seconds trying to get KD the ball unsuccessfully and then someone has to create something out of nothing.

 

Blame KD this season just like we blamed Jalen Green last season.

Udoka is the problem, he doesn't have the absolute slightest clue how to make things easier for his players.

 

We win this game with FVV.

 

Your best player cannot have 8 TOs in a game. I don't care if he was getting doubled.

 

That would be awesome.

 

If his teammates would hit shots he would make difference. He would also make a difference if he didn't lose the ball so easily lol. I love KD but holy ****, he gives up the ball so much.

 

Bring back Turbo!

 

I haven't been this pissed in years, NO ONE SAFE.



THEY'RE ALL EXPENDABLE.

 

We'd be just as bad offensively without fvv last year. Not getting a backup pg was beyond silly.

 

Teams just rotate because KD telegraphs most of his passes and half the time he's passing to a non-shooter so they just pack the paint.

Adams was actually big for this team (@DreamShook who called this out earlier in the year) because at the very least he owned the paint and even if we were bricking he'd eat up boards and space, get fouled putting bigs in foul trouble, kick out to reset or get an easy bucket.

 

Reed Sheppard regressed over the past month. Sengun has sucked this whole entire season. Someone used a pretty good metaphor and say that he went from Baby Joker to Temu Joker. Jabari is pretty much a bench player. Tari Eason is also a bench player and not a smart one. The missed assignments on defense, lack of communication, horrible horrible offensive sets and that is on Udoka. There's also a deep divide regarding lack of talent and personnel and a will to want to win. Next game he should really think about starting Holiday, Sheppard, Capela, Durant, Jabari. They need some three-point shooters out there and someone who could drive like with an outside shot.

 

Looked like a damn middle school team on offense.

 

You’ve gotta consider Davison and Jeff Green going forward.

These lineups are so unbalanced in terms of offensive skills, and these two at least bring a little of what’s needed - shooting and the ability to make the correct play.

 

meh

he shuda scored it

 

This team is big done.

 

Yes many times he had someone in the corner but passed it to Sengun on the roll

KD is not a good ball handler. We need a PG
