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

Rockets still up 3. All they had to do was hold onto the ball. Sheppard lost this game. He lost it.

 

Homie thinks people give a damn about the rockets lol

 

Nah impossible, head ref is an OKC fan and you got refs out there being friends with OKC players.

Wish I was telling a lie...

 

Scola tough nose player. Played overseas and had more experience pretty smart because he wasn't athletic anymore, about time he got here.
Shane Battier, journeyman who went through some playoff battles with the Memphis Grizzlies iq very high.
Ab rookie or 2nd year I forgot. Team full of veterans to coach and on the floor.
Carl Landry, hard nosed gritty player. Wasn't asked to do much except hit his open jumpers and hustle. High motor.
Ron Artest high motor guy. Playoff tested with Indiana. Veteran who maybe had adhd. My explanation of his madness sometimes on the court.
Do you think any of these Rockets are on the same level as those guys, at this point of their career?

 

I think the players lack situational awareness and the coach isn't solving it.

It's literally the job of the coach to call a timeout, remind them what not to do and make sure they don't do it.

 

Are the rockets going to be the first team in nba history to be favored all 4 games and swept?

 

Just like Sengun isn’t a franchise player, Reed always had a long way to go.

 

Don't forget the refs that wear SGA's shoes

 

Just sweep us and let the off season begin. If we cant even compete vs Ole man LeBron missing his key players we need to go back to tank and rebuild

 

This is fine if you also take accountability.
Ime does not.

 

if only stone didn't trade our 2026 nets picks we could had gotten a star player this draft.

 

Nope, we’re getting all the calls next game.

 

He scared like a bunny.

 

Bro all Jabari had to do was DRIBBLE THE BALL HALF COURT AND WE WOULD HAVE WON THE GAME… that’s all, that’s it. Jabari pissed his ass and didn’t trust himself even when nobody was pressuring him. TERRIBLE player. Embarrassing clutch genes.

 

Also, I will say this. San Antonio is losing to Portland right now. Denver is losing the series so far to David Adelman. If Denver loses the series is it on David Adelman or the players? He runs a variation of his dad's offense.
Let's see, Cam Johnson hasn't been that great, Christian Braun hasn't been that great, and their bench scoring hasn't been that great. Superb during the regular season, but less than stellar in the playoffs.

 

Yo, did you watch the game? Reed was ass but stop spinning it like Jabari didn’t throw the ball to smart and then Tate fouling him.

 

I'm wondering if Cassell is our Demeco Ryans?

I'm not a fan of Doc, but he's coached under other coaches... knows a lot of systems.

It might be time...

 

Lebron's revenge against Ime for calling him a b!tch is pretty brutal.
