    Yeah, he shouldn't have been out there. Don't know whose decision that was, but Gordon's presence on that court was one of the many factors contibuting to our loss. One thing I'm learning is that if you're injured and you're a shooter, you probably shouldn't be playing until you're healthy, simply because it throws your shot off. We've even seen it with Harden and his wrist in certain games. Doesn't matter so much if you do your work in the paint, but in the finesse shooting game that teams play nowadays, any little hiccup is enough to erase your entire contribution on the court.

    If this guy miss 2 straight 3s, sit his @ss the entire game...it's not worth risking him playing like crap when his shots not falling.

    When this guy cant shoot, he's trash with everything else as well. Cant win with guy like him. Trade him next year fast!!!

    He was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! Eric Gordon needs to get his act together or they should glue his ass to the bench.

    Been watching basketball a long time now. Gordon’s 2nd half is one of the worst halves of basketball I’ve ever seen a dude play. Dude was tanking, I’m convinced. Only explanation.

    He almost never steps up against good teams.

    His best games are against lottery teams.

    He was 2-12 from 3 in game 7 last year.

    He shrinks under pressure. That’s just who he is.

    I really wanna glue this dude to the bench now. Cant risk having a guy that cant shoot, cant drive, cant dribble, and cant pass the dam basketball playing in the playoffs. This guy is straight garbage.

    Never seen a “shooter” miss so many wide open 3’s

    Imagine if you gave Klay Thompson those shots smh.

    He’s also a scared little p***y when it comes to driving to the rim.

    I’m |_| this close to letting him walk if he continues to do this in the playoffs

    If we had someone like Klay Thompson with Harden, oh my, we would be winning back to back to back championship. To me Klay is the most important player on GSW, he is an elite 3 point shooter and defender.

    EG is so trash when he's starting. He should be glued to the bench and shouldn't be closing out games unless he's having a good shooting night.

    It's highly likely Gordon will not be a Rocket next year. He's small time. Can't be trusted in big games to hit open shots.

    Gordon was brutally bad tonight. I'm hoping that dude gets his stuff together but man did this game seem to big for him.....and it's a regular season game.

    Some nights it just looks like he is point shaving
    Legit looks like he is intentionally sabotaging the team

    I am almost to the point I would take
    A 40 yr old Korver over him

    He can't be relied upon. That's for damn sure.

    Assuming Faried can keep up with Grant.. this would’ve been a great time to break out the Tucker Faried Capela lineup. I have 0 confidence in Eric Gordon as a starter.

    If he's the key, then we need to change the ****ing locks. He's a choker, and he can't be relied on for anything in big games. Not only was he missing shots and turning it over, but he missed a WIDE OPEN PJ Tucker under the basket for the game-winner.
