ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 5/1/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

This game is so bad that we cut it to 21 and I’m like, let’s go! At least there’s a lot of time left.

 

The fact that we don't even have the personnel to just start jacking up a bunch of threes in a situation like this and hope to get hot.

Is this the offseason where we finally prioritize 3P shooting in any way or are we going to keep pretending we're smarter than every other team in the league?

 

It doesn't help that we brick the FTs when they finally give us a call

 

Yo let’s play Tate!

 

To quote the great curly Howard, if at first you do not succeed, keep on sucking until you do succeed.

yes, this is an actual quote.

 

He’ll blame the fans for having too high of expectations.

 

Repeat after me: “No one on this team is untouchable”

 

Jalen green could help

 

And that brings us to the firing of stone

 

I think we can safely say that's a clear indictment of how ****ing r****ded our FO and coach are. We're not even good at defense, so **** knows why they wouldn't want one of the greatest offensive engines of all time. oh yeah, he prolly gets more b****es than Ime, so obviously no way Ime's dumb ass would want him

 

dang... Jabari misses wide open 3 with 4.5 min left in 3rd Qtr. story of the night

 

ayton is a better FT shooter than Sengun

 

How confident are we amen will get a jumper ?

 

Clint, Uncle Jeff. Hell, sure, why not, even Davison at this point rather than Tate, who should have lost his playoff privileges after that foul lost us game 3 (hell, he should probably never have had them in the first place). In any case, try something different than the exact same things we've tried the entire series that have consistently not worked.

 

Pathetic showing; all players in the "minus" category.

 

You're getting destroyed on the boards maybe put in your rebounding center?

You're 21 year old guard is having a mental breakdown, maybe take him out sooner?

Lebron is literally attacking Tari Eason the same time every time down the court, maybe change the defender or cover it differently?

Idk, react to the game that's happening? JJ made an adjustment on Reed that's got them uncomfy and it gummed up the entire offense for more than a few possessions.

 

this is the stupid talking in me but if we cut it to 15 by the 4th, weird things could happen

 

yeah, atp, you’re not adjusting your way out of shooting this bad

the Magic are gonna fire Mosley and bring in a new coach, and the offense will probably still be subpar under the new coach because of the roster

 

How did I miss this?! Stupid Amazon…
