Mr negative tonight ey?

Eric Gordon is finding himself as a complementary player on this team. Contract aside, I'm not sure what the criticism is about.

Well he wasn't referring to the stupid male referees.

Jrue needs to be put back into the game.

Can't do that, Gordon is on fire right now, don't want to mess up his rhythm.

You're ridiculous. Heres a fact for you, first play Gordon is open at the top of the arc, instead we drive into traffic and get denied. Gordon is to the point where he just started moving back because he knew he wasn't getting the shot.

This is not uncommon. Last time he was out no less then 3 times did he get open, even to the point Dallas is sagging off him because he isn't getting the ball, and no one finds him for the easy look.

Listen, no one is happy Gordon is on this team, no one. But if we are going to give him serious minutes, and since we have no one who can replace him or someone to play the 3 if Evans slides over, you have to make it work. Basically only giving Gordon the ball in the post or running off screens is only using one of his skills. Gordon is a player that shoots at a good percentage from deep, is used to having the ball in his hands and is a rhythm shooter.

Monty has to find a way to optimize his skills if this team wants longterm success this season. If you have a better rotation and idea of how to maximize our offense and defense then give it.

The problem for me is the guards trying to feature him under the basket. He isn't here for offense. Stop passing to him to score. Give it to reke, Jrue or Davis.

Asik is much better when he goes straight up.

Yeah, I don't get the criticism either, what's that about?

T. Evans F 28:57 22
A. Davis F 33:51 27
E. Gordon G 28:02 0
J. Holiday G 28:54 22

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Good call on not picking up rivers option dell. Take this sorry dude out of the game now

Can we finish out this game with our main 5 please? Get Rivers bum *** off the court.

Tyreke or Jrue Really need to be in at all times.

If we should be bashing anyone it should be Rivers. Can't be giving him so many minutes especially at the start of the season.

Rivers and Gordon need to come out for Tyreke and Jrue.

Let's roll with the Asik, Anderson, Davis, Jrue, Tyreke to finish this game.
