ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 4/24/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

No three
No two
No free throws
No D
No play
No strategy
No imagination
No whistle

No nothing

 

Reed is the worst defender ive ever seen. I'm not even joking.

 

How many times do the Lakers need to score untouched at the basket before the Rockets realize the zone isnt going well

 

We’ve put together a team full of bricklayers—no other NBA team comes close. It's a failure on so many levels.

 

Lakers gonna shoot 70% for the half again.

 

Lol. They seem so much more athletic.... smart.... Efficient


The alley oops. The pick and rolls, hitting open shots.....

Rockets look like no one wants to shoot.

 

I've played pickup games with 13 year olds as a child that had a better jump shot than most of these bums

 

It’s one thing to have your weakness exposed, but it’s whole other thing to get exposed at just playing basketball. That’s happening.

 

i miss yao, carl landry, scola, lowry, aaron brooks, shane battier, dikembe mutumbo (RIP)

all these bozos don't know how to play basketball

 

Does anyone really think that KD's ankle was so bad he couldn't have played tonight in a crucial game 3?

 

Reed ****ing sucks

 

Got to say, it really is a MASSIVE advantage that Ameiz can run really fast whilst doing nothing on the court

 

The entire team sucks, it’s just his turn to be called out. Don’t single out my post about Reed when every player is being called out. Reed is just another top 3 pick that we missed on like Jalen and Jabari.

 

loose ball fouls are keeping us from being down 20

 

It looooooks sooooooooooooooo hard every possession

 

Maybe I want less reed minutes lol

 

Surrounding Reed with horrible shooters is just horrible coaching. Absolutely horrible coaching.

I know people call me a Reed only fan, I'm not, I was fine with him coming off the bench, but he's being used horribly, and I'm not just going to pretend it's not true.

He has to get much better on defense at just being in the right position, his shooting will only improve. People act as if a guy in his first year of meaningful minutes doesn't have a good playoff series that he needs to be traded. My word that's a horrible mindset.

 

Even refs can't keep this a close game

 

wE aRE 79-1 WhEN reED StArTs
