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

Watching Amen on-ball has really made me appreciate the HOF career Westbrook has been able to carve out. Which is saying something.

 

This shiitshow is just getting pathetic now!

 

Amen iso and shoots long range 2 for the last play was the chef's kiss of our offensive coaching.

 

Why would Amen crossover into the double team?! Too many low iq players on this team

 

Performance by

 

team full of selfish players

 

He's got the loser limp

 

Why can't the Rockets do the same thing the Lakers are doing on Reed?

Hunt down Luke Kennard. He can't guard Amen .. he can't guard anyone

 

sometimes I wonder what the players think when they’re about to tip off a HOME PLAYOFF GAME and the building is like 40% full like tonight

crowd was dead all half except for freaking Bronny James who’s not even on our team

the crowd never gives the team energy…this whole game has had January regular season game on a Wednesday vibes

 

i just dont see anybody worth building a roster around... everybody on our team is just too flawed...

 

It's the Ime way

 

I hate that I can't get my money back for the season tickets I paid for. At least last years team played with a ton of heart. This team does not.

• Amen is not going to get a max contract
• Tari will probably be let go
• Sengun is probably gone in a trade.
• Reed will stick around, hopefully he grows.
• Smith will stick around, he is solid enough.

 

Tari has to go. Lowest basketball iq in nba history

- holds ball for delay of game for no reason
- holds out hand over LeBron to an easy foul on jump shot
- blows a 5 on 1 layup

 

Someone getting traded somewhere

 

Trade KD and picks for a top 5 pick this draft

 

Can't wait for another halftime of "The rockets have no clue what they're doing. There's no offense. There's no plan", and they'll be absolutely right.

 

They’ve had their soul stripped too . It’s tangible. It’s visible. Everyone looks beaten.

 

Lol this crowd doesn't react. We need a Fire Udoka chant

 

this is so frustrating on so many levels. we are playing with tate, dfs, okogie and know that kennard would hardly see the floor if he were in houston.

 

Do we have our own pick next year? If so just trade everyone and start over. The rebuild failed. It happens.

 

When Eason runs fast break, it always turns out to be turnover.
