    Do you guys know that there are things called auto likers (for years now) where there is an app which likes posts on behalf of - for example - Eric Gordon based on a set of tags or hashtags that Gordon (or his social media manager) provides. It's really tricky to pick those because for example he would want to like anything that says #letsgorockets but someone is eventually going to use that hashtag in a negative post. This f*ck up happens all the time in the social media world but the people doing it never admit it because no one likes to publicize that they use an auto liker since it's somewhat invisible to the average person and generates a great amount of followers quickly.

    Having said all that, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true lol I don't blame him, I really want to trade him too. He would be a good fit on lots of teams but he's plug and play so there's no reason for a contender to acquire him for the first half of the season. They can be patient. They'll seek him near the deadline when he's a playoff appearance away from becoming an expiring contract.

    If he's healthy and shooting well though, we should be trading him ASAP. It's just so random with him when it comes to injury. I hope we get a young player or pick out of him. I can see the Warriors, Lakers, Nets, Sixers, Nuggets, Blazers, Clippers, Knicks, Heat, Celtics being interested. We need to start playing Wall a month before the deadline too, it's not looking promising but you never know. Worth a 1 month trial.

    This may be the least fun Eric Gordon has ever had:

    Why is he still on the team? Should have been a draft day trade.

    I know there is a deal out there for EG, just get it done. This dude is not that durable and we don't need him getting hurt and not getting anything back. Just take what you can get and move on.

    I know some playoff team out there would love to add another shooter. Get it done.

    I have never personally watched a worse start to an NBA season ever, record-wise. I can't imagine what it's like having to be a player stuck in the middle of it, especially one who is a vet and an important piece on a contending team just two years ago.

    Whether it's an auto-liker or Gordon expressing frustration, I understand. We are all frustrated too

    I've said before that the players don't respect Silas. It is impossible to achieve anything in such a team. Silas must be sent out and replaced by a better one.

    It's not just the losing, it's how we are losing and that the coach seems to do absolutely nothing that makes sense.

    Coach is a gr8 human being but lousy head coach. EG probably looks down the bench and sees Wall collecting his 40+ million wearing cool outfits and enjoying life not being part of this clown show and must be pretty darn jealous.

    Agreed, he seems like a really nice guy and all, but so are many people. He has a job to do, and he hasn't been doing it well.

    Rockets fanbase is reaching Lord of the Flies territory. Now their players are committing mutiny. I knew this year would be hard, but GD.

    you might be right however... i was at the game last night right behind rox bench, and during a timeout, silas draws up a play. we inbound, eg looks to be running what's called while sengun waives him off. eg, not happy, looks to bench and just throws up his arms in frustration. funny thing is eg does move to top of key where sengun waived him and we end up with a bucket lol. regardless, i don't think eg having fun with all these rooks out there with silas just letting them run wild.
