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

that First Half though !!!

 

He is hesitating more than Sengun when left open for 3...

 

Yep

 

its just not our year

decade or century

or eternity ……post Hakeem

 

Looks like I’m gonna get a bunch of free shirts next game from all the empty seats.

 

Yeah but did you see that punk Luka stand up was jumping up and down wanting him to shoot the ball. Man I hate that dude.

 

I hope we get swept and Stone is forced to fire this ****ing bum and get Sengün the **** out of here.

 

He legitimately got benched following the Miami game that he went off in. Can't make it up

 

Yep and this has been a problem ALL year long, we knew this going into January, it's not getting fixed because the coach has no idea to fix it.

Ime, when desperate, always just goes bigger. That's why we saw less of Reed and even Holiday, and now down 0-2 we'll probably see even less of them, more Clint, because in his mind the issue is always more defense and rebounding and hustle.

 

There were good PGs in buyout market.

 

I dont know it’s that we choked………I believe it may just be the Lakers are choking us

 

Again. I can get you open shots. I can draw those up. But if you can’t make them, that’s on you. This team is poorly constructed.

 

Jalen Green taking Josh Christopher to pound town tonight. Mumbling “I told u brudder, they ain’t shiiit without me and my grandma.”

 

I HOPE WE GET SWEPT

THE REFS WONT ALLOW THAT

ONE MORE GAME FOR SOME EXTRA COIN

 

We seem to have a few different sects here on CF. Ime Only Haters. Sengun Only Haters. Reed Only Fans.

There is blame to go around. KD was not supposed to carry this team, he was supposed to compliment it. Tonight Reed came in and was so passive he couldn't be played no matter what Reed fans may think or say. Ime's offense is not creative nor is it adaptive. And Sengun is not what he was supposed to be this year.

All that to say, no matter what happens the rest of this series, this season is a wrap and we only have to hope for better next year. There is no longer a ray of hope for this year, as I was hopeful that all that grind it out 82 would make this team ready for Playoff Slop... I was wrong.

Keeping it short cuz, well forums.

 

This man stone drafted jc is when we should have known this man was a joke.

 

Rocket from front office coaches to players just suck

 

It is just not our year

 

At this point why not give JD Davidson some play time. Better handles and he's looking to assist. It would be great for him to mix the line up to put in Davidson with Thompson because they can run the Lakers into the ground. LeBron was a winded in a fourth quarter, tired, sweating and breathing hard. They let a 41-year-old man take them down. But on opposite side we're heavily dependent on the 37-year-old man. Not even know how to take that.
