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

Goofy ass team gtfo.

 

Meh, I’m UNHAPPY about this loss but I guess I don’t care as much as I thought I would. That’s the series right there. I’m more numb at this point.

Inexcusable close to regulation but we’ve all seen this before. A lot of Lakers fouls on jump balls in overtime, but the game should’ve been won before then.

C-c-c-changes on the way in the offseason, perhaps? Probably not.

Alpi played amazing. Jabari was good besides that gross turnover. Amen has been phenomenal this series.

Reed will learn

 

There was no reason for the coaches to rush Jabari on that turnover. The Lakers weren't pressing him. They were going to let him just walk it up.

 

KD, don’t even come back

book your Cancun tickets now and just go

 

And an Eason clunker to end it

 

****in JaeSean tate ruined my night and reed sheppard wtf

 

For real.

 

1-8

 

Rockets deserve this loss. Complete clusterfck. Clumsy ass payers.

 

Putting Reed on Smart is something from YMCA. Smart is too smart (not Jabari) and too fast for Steve Kerr type of a player (Reed). 2 first round flops. A mistake not to get vet players at deadline. KD overwhelm the team that they forgot insurance.

I’m betting KD sits out Game 4. Win!!!!

 

Reed can't pass, Tari can't pass, Jabari can't pass, KD can't pass. Four of your top 10 players. Sad

 

It’s the world’s greatest mystery to anyone not named Ime.

 

My money is on Durant getting another ring in 3 years on OKC. Cause that’s how good they will be for years and that’s how big of a chump Kevin is. lonely kidless wifeless meaningless ass Kevin Durant.

 

Start Over without Ime and Stone.

 

Jabari had a great game but taketh away

 

Learn what, Carpentry?

 

Ugh. The game was won. How stupid is this team.

 

We had the game in our hands and gave it away.

 

We're the dumbest team in the NBA. And to make it worse, we have no heart & no coaching.
