    The guy is just perfect for this team so far.
    6th man of the year candidate for sure.
    Good thing that he's as good playing along side Harden and taking the lead without him. That versatility is so important

    Gordon is only starting to come out of his shell. Duder was wrong for making a thread comparing him to Jerry Stackhouse. I think Gordon can be as good or better then Hardens on certain nights, which is scary but we should love this as fans. Dude has a hideaway and he goes there sometimes to give his mind a break, and all.

    Pat is such a great teammate, he said he's trying to have gordon get back his dog in him - his mojo. He genuinely believes gordon is one of the best 2 guards in the league! he ain't wrong either

    I love how Harden on the bench is Gordon's biggest cheerleader. He genuinely seems happy for Gordon.

    Eric Gordon is a baller!! Fast break stops on a dime, splash. Amazing balance. Love how Bev was looking to set him up all game. Great chemistry this year.

    No he shouldn't, not with his injury history.

    Gordon is currenty second in made three's this season with 75 makes on 41.7 percent shooting

    Only behind Curry who has 86 makes on 40.4 percent shooting.

    Klay is right behind Gordon at 70 makes on 39.5 percent shooting


    The man has been uncouncious, he's hanging with GSW splash bro's right now which is beyond impressive.

    I have a feeling Gordon's gonna be invited to the 3-Point Shootout in New Orleans for All-Star Weekend.

    He's been playing lights out through the first quarter of the season. I'm hoping the fact that he's coming off the bench and doesn't have the pressure to carry this team will result in an injury free season.

    No one ever doubted his game, it was the injuries he had ever since his clippers days.

    This team is fun to watch, my favorite since the Harden/Parsons/Delfino/Lin squad years ago.

    This man speaks the truth, he's right where he needs to be for for health, success and impact.

    Isn't it refreshing to finally have 3 point shooters on this team as opposed to 3 point chuckers?

    I totally agree! The last few seasons we were winning but it wasn't as fun as the Lin, Harden, Parsons, Delfino, and Asik's days. The team that we have now trumps that one in fun factor and talent. So I'm really looking forward to the post-season to see how far we go.

    I think we need one more to truly contend though. Ariza is a decent outside shooter, but not as good as he should be with all those open looks.

    I just hope we don't trade anyone in the process of star chasing.

    You know it'd be awesome to have a center that can shoot 3s at a 40% clip while averaging 29/10. Maybe the guy even plays in Sacramento. :)
