NBA Season/Playoffs 2025-26

Lebron looks gassed out there

[Goldstar88]

Epic fail by Houston. Yeesh

[Who]

Sengun makes some beautiful head and ball fakes on his drives to the basket. Fun player.

[Phantom255x]

Even if this goes OT, that's a MASSIVE fail by Houston in the final 40 seconds

[smicker16]

How much longer will Ime have as coach if this series ends in 4 or 5? Obviously another year but a year like this again and do not know if he will get much more time.

That was a major choke job by Houston.

[Phantom255x]

Wow Lebron nearly hit that! OT it is

Also, so Durant is the ONLY player they have that can iso and can create their shot? Wow that's bad. Also the lack of a true PG hurt again, that Sheppard pass was horrific. Even CP3 at this age could probably do better there

[Who]

How did Houston mess that up?

Up 6pts with 25secs to go with possession of the ball. Terrible outlet pass by Jabari Smith Jr. Stolen by Smart. Terrible foul by Tate. Smart 3 FTs. Another inbounds. Sheppard goes by LeBron in the backcourt, refuses to pass ahead, gets the ball poked from behind, loses it, pass ahead, LeBron 3. Tie game.

Awful series of screw ups from the Rockets.

[Goldstar88]

Should have let Thompson take that ball up. Also, what a terrible play for Sengun at the end. Hook shot from almost behind the backboard.

Awful series of screw ups from the Rockets.

Missing a point guard. And, questionable coaching

[Who]

Reed Sheppard now 11-42 FGA for the series. Atrocious.

He had a big stepping stone type of season. Showed he can be a legit NBA player. Even finished 6th in the Sixth Man of the Year race. But he has been flat out terrible in this series. Not ready for the playoffs at all. Struggling with the Lakers size, physicality & athleticism.

[SparzWizard]

Ofc Marcus Smart nails a 3

[Who]

Smart is on 16pts now. I think he was still on 7pts to end Q3. Coming up clutch for LAL.

D Ayton getting away with murder on that jump ball. How can the refs not see that? It is so blatant. Right in front of them.

Sengun has been phenomenal late Q4 + overtime. So many clutch hoops for Houston. He is the only guy doing anything for them on offense during this OT period.

[SparzWizard]

Smart hustling for these down the stretch plays. Where was this Smart when we had him. Seems like he only showed up more for the Lakers

[Who]

Now LeBron cheats on the jump ball. Why are they letting LA cheat on all these jump balls!!
