2026 West 1st Round Playoffs: (4) Los Angeles Lakers Vs. (5) Houston Rockets

Apparently, I'm part of the 2.3% that stated Lakers would sweep us before the series started. We were the best team for LA to rest their players with.

 

man wth is this guy talking about
he blamed the players not making open 3, so then been asked if he'd consider play Reed more for that reason... "No, we guarding well enough, holding them to 101 is good enough, we just didn't score" wtf?????
our coach's got comprehension difficulty or it's that Ime just over defensive?
I don't even think the reporter is trying to challenge him, it's very reasonable and rational question. Ime just doesn't take any accountability, like the GM.
I really feel sorry for our young players

 

Dang we could have use that Jonathan shoot your shot guy.

 

You heard it hear first.

 

Dude Reed sucked ALL series

 

Honestly I may actually prefer this result to my original prediction, which is that the Rockets advances and get destroyed by OKC, followed by the status quo next year.

At least getting spanked by the Lakers may force Tilman to actually get a real GM instead

 

you don't get the point? it's not Reed plays good or he sucked, Ime wasn't answering the question. He could said he thinks Reed's in a slump and he doesn't believe Reed would hit the open 3s either, or he could said all his players were exhausted by playing intensive defense so Reed won't help either, or he could said Reed sucked if he want, but he just avoided the reporter's question. play the video and listen
