    Welcome to earth, or from the future.

    FG% is used in every basketball score board, team, conference, league, any basketball data website and database. I am afraid you will still have to see it in every basketball game for the rest of your lifetime.

    Gordon is good, almost all star good when 100%.

    Rockets need a backup plan in case Gordon not 100%. As is he may need to be load managed.

    Sign Tyler Johnson or Dion Waiters. Both players can be microwave scorers off the bench while not being a defensive liability a la Clemons.

    I guess you can be an X factor on the injured roster?

    That doesn't make it any less stupid to use as a metric to judge a player like Eric Gordon.

    EGo needs to come off the bench.

    But needs to get healthy first, do not rush back for GSW.

    Injury prone, but the rockets knew what they were getting into based on his past. When he plays he can light it up when hes hot, see that 50 points there that one game, man was on fire lol.

    If he can roll 50 games and be healthy come all of playoffs and give the rockets 5 to 7 threes it needs , which is 15-21 points in the game, everyone should be fine, I think if everything goes right Roco and Demarr will pick up the slack for him. Here hoping some how Demarr is super motivated to play like he did in NJ for title implications. Lets hope.

    We might need to move on from eg if he fails to produce in the post season.Otherwise we need to keep this same roster together

    yep but I think there is LESS pressure on EG now IF the rest of the small ball squad continues to play explosive. He is an X Factor but if these guys can keep hitting 20+ 3"s without him then he'll just amp it up when inserted back in the lineup..hopefully he will come off the bench to help keep him fresh

    He is in decline, and injury prone needs to go when we can trade him.

    I feel like he doesn't get enough touches when he's in the starting lineup. I hope Harden and Westbrook look to him more so they can get him going!

    The problem is when you give Gordon the ball he's basically shooting it no matter what,. I like that he's decisive and immediately attacks the defense but once you get him the ball the play is over, time to worry about getting back in transition. And he's having a terrible shooting season, his worst ever.
