ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/16/2026

The Lakers allow 115 ppg. We scored 92 points.

That's a 23 point difference.

But at least we held them to only 100!

There is just so much wrong with the approach that this team takes...Specifically with the offense.

 

man, seeing the the "let kd walk" posts make me so sad. Rockets were fine with Jalen Green and DB. Rockets were literally ahead of schedule and people overreacted to one bad playoff series from Jalen green.

Turns out HOF player KD cant even operate in an offense so ass.

Now we got 1 more year of KD and Jalen going to be with the suns and he 24.

 

I thought about it and maybe need to sleep on it, but as of now, that was the worst basketball I’ve seen a team play in 35 years of watching the NBA.

The Thunder or Spurs would have beat us by 60-70. The Lakers just suck.

 

JAYGOOGLE WHERE ART THOU? ANY THOUGHTS ON TONIGHT'S GAME?

 

The Lakers best shooters combined for 0-12 from downtown. Austin Reaves was 5-18 from the field. They're going to shoot 40% from three on Weds and win by 20.

And KD will still act like a double team is quantum physics.

 

for the record...Amen's 3pt % this last month is MULTIPLE x better than Tari

 

this is the most simulate to playoffs rox team ever. no joy.

 

Getting rid of Jalen was the right decision regardless of the aftermath

 

We dodged a bullet. He gets a DFS contract.

 

This I exactly what has ruined this team's chemistry. Ime refuses to hold him accountable. Nobody calls him out.

 

youre not making any sense.

 

@Salvy again with one of the most based takes in board history regarding Dickerson.

Tonight I became a complete believer. Yea, Jalen/Dillon were better, shoot me

 

Starting to feel like the best thing that could happen to this team is to fall to the play-in and get bounced there instead of Round 1.

Not only does it force the front office's hand to actually do something to improve this team, whether that's a roster shuffle or a coaching upgrade, but it means our pain is over earlier

 

Jalen was not him, nor would he ever be. So getting rid of him was the right decision. Now KD may not be the answer, let him walk, we'll have 50m in salary, get couple of good players n we're good.

 

He pulled a tmac and harden together. The offense vs the system vs it's on me.

 

It might be for the best. I won't ever root for this team to lose, I just don't have it in me while I'm actually watching the games. But in the medium to long term, major changes need to be made. We can't go into next season thinking that 32-year-old, coming off of major surgery Fred VanVleet is going to solve our problems.

 

"It's on me??" Hmmm I think I've heard that before and it worked out so well
