    He’s a role player. Did y’all really expect him to outplay Thompson for a whole series. If we just won the games he showed up and Thompson didn’t we would’ve won. Instead we had useless players like capela. Seriously looking back looney wasn’t even that impressive considering the scrub he dominated was pathetic capela. Watch looney go back to sucking against kanter.

    That's just Eric Gordon. He's always been a very streaky player. You gotta take the bad with the good and he was way better than anyone could realistically expect for the rest of the playoffs

    if you watched the game, Gordon was completely ignored. They could have moved the ball better and found better spots to shoot; integrated EG more into the game, but that's not what happened. EG contributed when he got his looks, but the team was too busy jacking up bad shots and turning the ball over. There was zero ball movement ...like even worse that usual. I don't think it's all on EG.

    Gordon played this series exactly how he plays. Very highs and very lows

    If you have to depend on Gordo to save you, you are doing it wrong.

    yes we do. he's an underrated player who has been playing great since he finally shook his injuries. He averaged 18 points in just 27 minutes per game this year, while shooting 37% from 3pt. He's still only 30 years old, and has that drive and killer instinct. Would rather focus on length in the front court, but i would love to see Derrick Rose in a rockets uniform

    They can sign derrick rose and run off cp3 if cp3 fakes a hamstring pull.

    You know the cp3 hamstring gonna creep up again unfortunately : /
