Gordon's playoff numbers are beyond garbage. Some dudes just don't have it mentally when the pressure is high. Him and Ryno are alike in that regard.
Green has made Gordon expendable. If Gordon can be moved this off season to clear cap space for an All Star next srasse. Then I'm all for it. Gordon b ball IQ is horrible.
did you even watch the game, he played perimeter defense all night, one of the few players that Jazz didn't just completely blown by. I'm not even mad at his numbers. He's the only other dribble penetrator on the team, and he has to straight up challenge Gobert. He got blocked a whole lot and drew some fouls. It's not like he was just chucking contested threes like usual.
Gordon was not the reason we lost this game, he's the least of our problems imo. Sure he's been trash shooting all playoffs, but tonight it was entirely other issues all together. Gordon didn't give up open dunks to Gobert, Gordon didn't give up 50 wide open corner 3's.
Anderson just stared at him and gave him like 5 ft...didn't even put his hand up.. this guy is a failure of a basketball player in every sense
that's true, but that's also been systematic trend for the entire team going back into the regular season. When a guard penetrates, we have zero clue on where to go. How many wide up 3's did we give up to the Wolves whenever Wiggins and Teague drove into the lane, lost count..
Tucker missed a boatload of wide open 3s. Gordon played ok imo. Ingles hit some crazy shots. When the Rockets started with the drive and dish good things happened tonight.
He was doing the same in the Minnesota series. He needs to play as a spot up shooter, that's it. He is not finishing at the rim, he's not playmaking for others, he's turning the ball over, and he's definitely not hitting these long 2's.
Eric gordon needs to find his shot again. That is just pitiful to shoot that way. Ryan anderson and gordon have one job and really one job alone and that is to hit the wide open 3.
Eric looks like someone physically detached his testicles . He needs to go to the rack HARD . He does some p***y **** around the rim that is gonna get you nowhere.
forget what the stats say. the eye test is even worse. he's hesitating on open shots, and taking highly contested shots out of rhythm when he decides to shoot. he dribbles like....... you know what, i was gonna say something not very PC. i'll just say his dribbling is not very good. he's not passing to create looks, he's just passing because he can't get by his man. and when he tires to go to the rim he flails up a prayer and yells to the refs to bail him out so he can miss 1 of 2 free throws.
