ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 3/5/2026

im never going to give up sengun, dude is just playing like a selfish b****. i feel like the all star mantle is going to his head. feels like he is forcing shots trying to be the guy instead of just letting the game come to him. Dude used to love to pass now he is taking shots when he got 17 people on him. I have never seen this from him ever. The laziness on defense is back too.

 

Minny is finding its groove again, probably taking 3rd spot ...... Denver going to battle for 4th.

 

if I’m KD, I’m not even using the burner account anymore to sh*t on Sengun

this dude is so ass, I’m fcking him up on the main account and not even feeling an ounce of guilt about it

 

It's possible, I just don't think it's likely. The Rockets offense looks bad against average defenses, but the Lakers defense is bad bad.

Luka's flaws are a lot like Alpi. Complains all the time, plays no defense, and suddenly Nico is almost looking vindicated for trading him (although I'd still say they could have gotten a lot more) but he has lost a lot of his luster this year.

 

He isn’t efficient enough right now and the fit with Amen and Jabari on offense is really a problem.

Alpren is a really good player, but if I have to pick between him and Amen, I’ll take the guy that can guard more spots, at a higher level and is more efficient.

 

we dont have to pick, Nook! Ime need to put them in positions to succeed. Everybody has been bad defensively. everyone has regressed. sengun just regressed back to concentrated ass.

 

Say your checked out on Sengun, next problems are


Starting Reed requires a really good shot blocking defensive C.

Amen requires that C to also be a very good 3PT shooter who sits on the 3PT line on offense.

Very tough to build a roster around players with such heavy constraints.


Sengun lead our team in +- last season, and has dramatically regressed for some mysterious reason. Ime has shown himself to be seriously incompetent, a part of me still wants to see Sengun get a chance with another coach.

 

KD is so mad at Goon that he is having some of his companies drone missiles diverted from Israel and sent to the Iranians so they can bomb Turkey.

 

Minny goes back and forth between looking average and looking elite, they are kind of in that wildcard spot because I think they could beat anyone and lose to anyone.

 

You’re right. I apologize to Pau and Bosh

 

The thing that sticks out is post opponents scoring Alpi and Durant are quick to point, be demonstrative, clap. It just destroys team chemistry. Every missed defensive play is an attempt by someone to to crap on someone else for it. Didn't see that on the other side most games.

 

LOL

 

Seems to me the issue is the team had been asset collecting for so long and never figured how those assets fit together.

 

Ime is headless chicken.

You can't play shiit Jabari 43 minutes.
It's horrible.

 

I can see it.

Senturnstile will allow a lay up line

The Bricklayer can’t shoot outside of 12 feet and will game planned out of the series offensively.

The Lakers just have to stop the fast break and watch us struggle to score.

 

He should include the Bricklayer in his fire storm.

 

We are on the same page with the limitations and poor roster construction. You can pull up my posts going back to Jalen Green and Sengun with me saying they are tough to put a team around.

As far as a shot blocking center - you need one for Reed, Sengun and at times even Jabari.

Amen and Sengun have to be surrounded by 3 shooters and then Sengun gets raped on defense.

Jabari Smith is invisible 80% of the time and has plateaued defensively.

Amen and Sheppard are the two I can make work - but the type of players around them have to be specific.

 

So the Lakers are basically us, but their franchise player can actually shoot.

I’d take 40 year old Bron over almost every player on this roster.

 

Yup and the Lakers big 3 can’t defend, but can be efficient on offense…. Which is something the Rockets can’t do
