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

If they are going to go after oft injured players like Embiid and Kawhi may as well go after Anthony Davis.

At least Anthony Davis isn't moody like Embiid or unreliable like Kawhi along with the injury issues.

Healthy AD and KD in a playoff series is terrifying for other teams, AD and Amen on defense is also absolutely terrifying.

 

I hate every single bullet point here.

 

It's like watching the person you care for making horrible decisions and ruining their life, and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

Sure. It’s not happening. I’ll put a $100 down on it, Udoka still coaches the Rockets next year.

 

I missed this. What happened exactly?

 

Championship years notwithstanding, of course. Teenage me definitely didn't foresee 30+ yrs of coming up short

 

Bet.

 

And people are still taking up for Stone and Ime.

 

58m and 62m the next 2 years. You will have to add 24m to get it done this year make room for another 4m next year for a guy that can’t stay on the court. Washington wants to add picks not subtract them. There are better options.

 

So much for being r****ded. This 22 year old kid is more mature than video playing, sh*t talking burner account KD.

 

Yea after this series I wouldn’t mind getting some picks back. But definitely agree the top three players to keep would be Amen, Jabari and Reed.

 

100%. The season wasn’t over then FVV went down. The season was over when the General Manager of the team said out loud, publicly.. that maybe this is just not our year. One of the most idiotic things I’ve heard any GM say mid year.

 

lol. Good job.

 

What star did they ship out?

 

What's the alternative? You can't make teams give you mvp candidates.

 

I've always thought him and Amen had the best intangibles of our young players, with the only knock on Jabari being that sometimes he seems like he takes things a little too hard and gets into his own head. But he's a dog, and you can tell he's very passionate about winning.

If I had to pick just two of our players to move forward with it'd be those two.

 

Just be thankful we don't have Hasheem Thabeet, Anthony Bennett, etc.
