    I haven't seen Gordon play this aggressive since his Clippers day. The guy always had all star talent, maybe this is his year.

    Eric has burst similar to what you see with Westbrook.

    Eric Gordon didn't even hit any threes.

    Would have broke 35 had he had a normal EG shooting night.

    I don’t bother making threads here anymore. But I wanted to revolving around Gordon’s two dunks tonight. I watched quite a lot of the Rockets last year. I do not remember him dunking or moving lik that, unless I’m misremembering or just missed it.

    Even if he didn’t hit so many shots tonight. He still would have looked great.

    honestly his shots were flat as hell, probably due to fatigue from driving so much and playing hard defense. he even bricked a couple of freethrows.

    Much more explosive in his drives, tighter ball control and amazing body control when finishing at the basket. He seems to have made a leap athletically compared to last year. His first drive and jam really took me by surprise, he did not show that level of explosiveness last year.

    That's who he was in LA.

    A lot of people said that he really just didn't want to play in Nola and exaggerated his injuries.

    His play with us has shown that to be true to an extent. Hopefully this continues and he's finally become comfortable with his explosive abilities again.

    Gordon started off last season like a madman too. He's star-worthy at that level. Just needs to be consistent throughout the season.

    For some reason, Chloe Grace Moretz in this saeshual situation of a gif creeps me out. I saw her grow up. I’m like the uncle who sees his neice as a kid forever. Can we find some older puss please? Thanks. Cover yourself Chloe.

    He never looked this springy/explosive. He was blowing by guys off the dribble, finishing strong, etc.
