ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 4/26/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Geez fellas, what are you even shooting at?

 

By all means bring back the guy who: quit on them, then quit on Brooklyn, then quit on Philly, then quit on the Clippers. Yeah, that's exactly who they need to catapult this team past SA and OKC.

 

Portland looks like they need another scenting. We should call them about moving Duran.

they got some young pieces we can use. We can throw in Tari as sweetener

Durant Clint and Tari

for Sharpe, Camara , Williams and Holiday


Get back assets and can still swing another trade

 

Maybe a Positive Pep Talk will help.

 

Tonight's the last game of the season fellas

 

I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great basketball team the Lakers have. Screw 'em!

 

Start the bench, see if coach cares.

 

Cheapest tix are currently 273...must be Lakers fans pushing up the price. Sigh.

 

Is there a consensus about whether KD is showing up tonight? It’s gonna be about 1/4 of the coverage either way.

 

He’s out

 

he's gonna be underwater . . . treadmilling and doing other things of that nature

 

I meant to the sideline to support the team.

 

that's about the only suspense tonight . . . we'll know at game time

 

They have no choice but to say the say same thing.

 

HOLY SHITE EVEN EMBIID IS PLAYING TONIGHT!!

fooking Dickerson.

 

are the empty shirts supposed to be symbolic?

 

The ONLY way to win this game is for Ime to take a page out of the Tom Thibodeau playbook. He must play the entire starting lineup for 48 minutes. NO SUBSTITUTIONS. Space your timeouts for rest accordingly. The stats show that our starting lineup, without Durant, is better than the Lakers starting lineup.

Reed, Amen, Tari, Jabari, Sengun lineup this series...
3 games, 42 minutes, +20.7 net rating

Smart, Kennard, LeBron, Rui, Ayton lineup this series...
3 games, 56 minutes, +2.1 net rating

All 5 of our starters are young. They can handle it. Season is on the line.

 

nice shirts… all fired!
