    Today Eric showed why he was such a coveted player early on in his career and also showed why he is the all-important third lance in the Rox's attack. Strong, athletic, clutch, and with great defense to boot!

    Hope CP3 is ok, but if he has to miss a few games, Eric Gordon will step us and show us why he was pegged as a superstar-in-waiting!

    He made some big shots and played great defense. Still disappointed he missed a lot of point blank attempts though, but everyone did tonight. Our shooting was abysmal.

    He bricked a lot of open threes too, but he un-bricked them when it counted the most. It's ugly and it's not his prime.

    I thought Gordon would shrink in the post season - but he's proved me wrong. He's been Yuuuuuge!

    What's more encouraging, He can play better. I don't think EG is playing at his full power.

    EG only seems to his Clutch 3s :eek:

    He and harden missed a lot of open 3s. But he made when it matters most.

    It's like a repeat of Game 4 lmao. He bricked so many wide open 3's these past couple of games but he made huge plays & hit huge shots when it mattered most.

    His overall offensive numbers weren't great... but he came through when needed and asserted himself - going back to that dunk in game 4...
    More importantly, his defense has been great!
    I dont know that we would have won these last 2 games without him...

    Win the championship and he enters the Rockets Legends hall of fame where players such as Mario Elie, Vernon Maxwell, and Robert Horry reside.

    Epic Gordon will be his name.

    Eric was a ducking force of D tonight . I know pj and Trevor along with Chris and Clint are our defensive big names , but Gordon was the best defender on the floor for us tonight .

    TC has been on another level for the WCF . Tonight was ducking bezerk.

    The crowd was just waiting to explode the whole time and we could never make a sustained run ..... but man it was crazy in there the whole 4th quarter

    His confidence hasn't wavered. He knows what he can do and he sticks to his guns. We have seen it plenty of times. I love me some EG!

    Get ready to photochop Kenny's head with Ego's in those grainy Clutch City vids.

    I think it was Shaq who admired his THICCness when David West tried to push him around.

    Unbelievable.
