    What is going on with his ball control? The last two weeks when he puts the ball on the floor he either loses it or dribbles off his foot. Unless my memory is mistaken (likely), he never gave me a Corey Brewer cringe when he decided to dribble.

    Gordon has like 3 plays a game where it looks like he has better handles than Kyrie Irving and like 3 plays a game where it looks like he has worse handles than Ariza. It's weird.

    Agree. I think he plays much calmer off the bench than with the starting unit.

    Last night it looked like he needed a different pair of sneakers. He was slipping and sliding all over the place.

    Upon review of the pbp ... Gordon has 10 lost ball turnovers in the last 5 games.

    (That's not all his turnovers, just lost ball due to steal, not pass or violation.) So those are live ball turnovers from dribbling or being stripped holding the ball.

    I think he's tired, he needs a week off.

    "I think" it might be because mentally he thinks he can do the kyrie moves all the time but in reality he can't physically right now...but hopefully after a full season of recovering from his injuries that plagued him playing with the pelicans that physically his ball handles will continue to improve next season on the court

    I think Bill was right when he said "those resting comments may come back to bite them".

    Yea the whole team looks whipped...heck they've OVERACHIEVED this year anyways. Trying to play with the big dawgs of the league can be tiring...hopefully it pays dividends for the Rox in the playoffs having to play a tough schedule down the stretch might be a blessing in disguise from an experimentation point of view MDA style
