ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/29/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Gotta say, hearing how loud the typically "aloof" or not bothered Lakers crowd is, really makes Toyota center crowds even ****ing worse...

 

Feel like LeBron double dribbled there.

 

This punk ass Marcus Smart sucks against everyone but plays like a Curry/Gary Payton hybrid against us

 

Is Jabari going to be the only one who shows up tonight?

 

Jabari may be the most impressive of the young guys these playoffs. Some really smart plays from him. That massive error not withstanding in Game 3.

 

i wonder if lebron literally ever just raised his hand for a foul call

lecry

 

We're too sloppy to win this. Need to tighten up fast to even have a chance.

 

13pts in 8min, yawn.

 

Is it irrational for me to get angry at people who bring infants to front court seats?

 

"Welcome back, Austin" <--- a supposedly unbiased national commentator

 

Fck Reaves.

 

Sengun needs to put ayton into foul trouble, Reed should score. I don’t see any other reasonable path to victory

 

So Reed is not going to find his shot tonight

 

Damn this offense looks ugly. No PG, gonna look like ****.

 

Jabari our franchise player

 

We've gotta learn to make the extra pass quicker. Too many times whoever brings it up looks for their own shot first and by the time they realize they can't score the pass is too late. Stop being selfish (and that's everyone in there). Move the ball quicker!

 

reed went under a screen that was not there.

 

Please get Reed away from Reaves.

 

Let me get this straight.

Reed cant shoot in 4/5 games.

Reaves hits his first long distance 3.

Fck this sht.
