what makes some of the people here think that they know better than the coaching staff... who actually do this for a living!! as fans, even though we love the team and want them to succeed, we actually have zero credibility to second guess them. they know whats up, they are with the team, in the training room, practice and watching tapes over and over. winning teams don't play to lose and will for sure put in the best team at the best situation to win. starting or bringing players off the bench is not as important, as making sure that one of either harden or CP3 are in the game 48 mins..... that I think is the no. 1 priority. the rest of pieces will work itself out.
I don't care if he starts or comes off the bench. Just make shots. He's been starting lately and he's been on fire from three, so I'm not sure as would want to change things up right now.
Eric Gordon is our x -factor, if hes thriving in the playoffs we are winning it all, I wouldnt do anything that would remotely disturb this man...
It was good when he actually was hot and handling the ball alrite but he is not a gud combo guard when D is getting intensified.
Eric Gordon is the definition of a 6th man type of player and what his role should be. Inconsistent scorer who can get hot occasionally who doesn’t bring anything to the table other than inconsistent scoring.
when he is cold he is COLD which kills at the starting position. I understand we were playing well with im in the lineup but I still think (not a knee jerk from tonight) we are a more well rounded unit when he comes off the bench.
He just needs to be aggressive and play to his advantages and overall compete at a higher level. He can start he just needs to be accountable
He needs to spend all summer working on his dribbling . . .. it looks so weird and uncoordinated Rocket River
House or Faried should be starting over Gordon. Of course MDA wants to go smallball and completely ignore how bad our defense/rebounding is when we have to play that undersized
You listed his season long stats. And claimed he is our best 3 point shooter(I won’t push too hard against this thought, but I don’t think it’s true). Not very compelling info seeing as he has come off the bench more than he has started. So a lot of those good stats have been him feasting on bench scrubs. What about each players stats in games they start vs when they come off the bench. Our record in those games. Who we played. Not saying you are wrong, but I need more convincing then the DD eye test. It has a very shaky hit rate.
