Tonight tells me that EGO playing well or not will be the difference maker on our playoffs from this point forward.
EG with the comeback statement game! Haters from last game, please feel free to come back and chime in.....
Some of these posts were crazy. Gordon's ceiling is WAYY higher than Geen's. He was struggling for sure but he's very important to the team.
He is huge for us... but i am not worried about dude. I said this at the beginning of year. HE IS OUR X FACTOR.
If he could play like that the rest of the playoff run we could win a championship. The problem is he is either super hot or a non factor/detrimental and one game doesn't make me feel different. If you could package him and Anderson this off season for another star I say do it.
You could see the difference, he was determined to get to the basket and his 3 was on point too. When he plays with that focus I’d have no complaints about playing him 25-35 minutes, but in the first two games I still believe it couldn’t have hurt to play someone else to see if they have it. I might be wrong of course.
His first good performance in the playoffs. He is a game changer at his best. Stay aggressive and good things will happen. Go EG! Go Houston Rockets!
he came off injury and needed a bunch of games to get in his groove. Anderson i'm worried about, he doesn't even like to shoot anymore
benching him messed with his confidence. it was the right move for the team, but he's regressed since going to the bench. not even in the rotation anymore. it wouldn't surprise me if he asked for a trade, although i'm sure morey would say we've been trying for 2 years! lol. we will have to bite the bullet and spend a pick to move him.
yea that's pretty spot on. But not an excuse to just pass the ball everytime. You're right though, its inevitable. It just sucks since him shooting the rock makes us absolutely unguardable.
EG kicked ass last night!!!!! I'm one of the guys who is concerned how he reverted into a scrub in several playoff games so far. Hopefully this is his coming out party because we need him. He is a critical part of this team. We can beat Utah with or without EG. With him, we will blow them out. Without him it may go to 6 games. Against GS though, he needs to show up and offset Klay's performance. I honestly believe that when EG is playing well he is as good as Klay. Consistency is where Klay has the edge.
true but luc took his minutes since he's better on both sides of the floor. i thought anderson would at least take nene's minutes as the backup 5. going 5-out has been successful for us. but if he's not shooting then its not worth playing him.
