Gordon is playing, but sure feels like he isn't. I think I'll record this game and come back later. lol

Tyreke is a lefty.

His left hand is his dominant dribbling hand. He finishes with his right, IIRC.

haha what word insane? he really does though, he is known for having rediculous handles and dribble moves for his size

Tyreke Evans uses both hands a lot. I thought he was a lefty too.

He's amphibious.







He can breathe underwater too, I think.

Yeah he's a good ball handler for sure.

Defense needs to step it up big time.

They're killing us in transition.

That means he has gills on both hands, right ?

Call me crazy but i still want gordon at PG, awesome passer, i know people quesiton his handles but his handles were awesome wen he played for the clippers, think the injury and rust got to him but he looks a ton better, he needs the ball in his hands to be effective, or maybe just upgrading GV with burke would do the trick, idk lol.

I don't question his handles, I just think SG is his best position.

Yeah. Also means he was born a tadpole in a marsh somewhere.

while monroe did that well his +- was only +3 while monroe's was +18
still impressive though

They really might lose their team. Hope ol' KJ ain't just in denial.

They have a legit chance of keeping the team. Their bid is competitive with Seattle's, they have the right of first refusal, and it is the Board of Governor's that will make the decision (not the Maloofs).

KJ. Living testament not all athletes are dumb and end up broke.

2 things Guru....the first is that you are "crazy" and the second is that the plus/minus is often one of the most useless and misleading stats they keep....Drummond, right?

I'm probably gna get vilified for this, but Ryan Anderson is a bit of a chucker. He turns down passes to wide open players in favour of his own shot. And takes the ball up underneath the hoop when the much better option is to pass out or find the cutter. He seems to try and take the offensive load of the bench on his shoulders, which he really can't do, he is a complimentary player and it stops the ball movement, in turn hampering the offense. I love his abilities but just think he needs to spread the ball more often, if he starts doing that he will get more wide-open shots as defenses won't be aware all he intends to do is get his shot off.

Oh i know its a terrible stat and means nothing, it doesnt mean ur guy was scoring while ur on the court im just saying since monroe and drummond both started and played the same minutes u would think their +- would be the same.

He's doing what he is being asked to do. We also don't exactly have a lot of sharp shooters or penetrators out there with him.

When AD gets those tip ins, does he get credit for a rebound and 2 points?

Wow. Travis Outlaw is a 10 year vet.

i get why gordon cant stay healthy, he plays like a running back

Hornets look like they're going thru the motions. Must be one of the "T" games. :rolleyes:

EJ misses 2 FTs?

Gettin' run out the gym.

I just find when we swing the ball and get reversal and the defense hustling, the ball always stops with him, where one pass away is a wide open Darius Miller or Bryan Roberts someone cutting to the rack. But he takes a contested 25 footer. Don't know about you but I would rather a wide open three (often corner ones) for Roberts and Miller who are both good shooters.

Tank ON
Gordon Trade Value DOWN

Are you sure there is an angle there for him to see those guys and make the pass? Is the defender in a position to make the pass difficult? Are there defenders close enough to those other players that a less than excellent pass will get picked off? Is there enough time left in the shot clock for a pass and shot?

I haven't really paid close enough attention to answer those questions.

Yes.

This is the sloppiest basketball ive ever seen the hornets play.....

I wonder what it would take to get Jimmer over here. He is just waisting away in Sacramento.

I'd rather just draft Trey Burke. He has the same range, but is a better passer and athlete.

gordon attracts so much attention, everytime he drives he gets doubled and someone is open at the 3 point line and he ussualy makes a good pass.

ya pass on jimmer

If Monty didn't like Thornton, he'd think Jimmer is the anti-Christ.

Cousins is too damn talented. My God.

Still prone to crazy stuff.

I find on the reversal when he is close to straight away and the defense has overloaded the strong side, there's super easy passes that couldn't be picked off in a million years and no way a defender could get to the shooter. I'd try find video but I cbfed, I'm sure he will do it again soon enough, although our offense is even worse tonight than usual

I'd take him as our token crazy person on the team.
