You have to actually give an open shooter the ball for him to make a shot. Jimmer standing at the arc and not getting the ball is no different then Gordon standing there and not getting the ball. Which is what is happening both games.

Again, its not like Gordon wasn't open numerous times in the last 3 quarters. I counted at least 4 when the penetrator could of easily hit him for an open shot and instead took a bad shot.

You can't expect Gordon, a rhythm shooter, to just go into beast mode with 5 minutes left in the fourth when you didn't get him the ball for two and half quarters.

You know those bosses you just dodge and they slam into a wall or something? That's us right now. Too strong for our own good.

GORDON GO AWAY.

didn't we run a bunch of zone to start the 3rd quarter when we went on the run?

No need to argue. He's had good games before and I've still held my opinion. He's a Rucker type player which is why he's never been a winner. I don't really care what his stats are.

Asik in the stripe like Gordon on the court...strait questionable homie.

Maybe Monty will give him a back rub tonight and hold his tissues for him to cry into. So sad, nobody's sharing with poor wittle Eric. He'd be a superstar if his teammates would just share.

SWEET PASS GORDON, throws the ball away and has AD rolling to the hoop off the pick n roll, lmfao!

Somebody at the SKC go kidnap Gordon for me right NOW

Because some coaches love to live dangerously.

my god... Eric Gordon. What the hell is that?

Gordon is so unsure of himself right now, dont give him the ball

Asik needs to start strong handing those rebounds

Could someone please tap Gordon on the knee and put him out for the season?

Eric Gordon and Omer Asik closing out the game seems questionable. Down 4 and Ryno on the bench until 1:31 left.

Post scarier than your signature.

Gordon doesnt seem comfortable..He hasn't been a part of the offense all night

Off Tyson's fingertips right at the end. Should be our ball.

GORDON OUT RYNO IN!

THANK U MOTNY HOLY CRAP!

No one is arguing that Gordon would be a superstar, quit playing the role of the stupid poster......At least I'm hoping its just an act.

The day we are finished with Gordon, will be 660+ days too late.

Jrue should be getting the ball more. We havent had a high % look in a while

Its OVER .. Thank you Gordon and Rivers and definitely Monty for keeping them longer than needed

IF that's not a moving pick on Tyson, idk what is. Total bull ****.

We are straight up being out-coached tonight.

This team does not know how to close a game.

That Dirk jumper was Gordon's fault. Take him out....oh wait

Monty blew it when he decided to not have Reke or Jrue in the game .. leaving the ball handling duties to rivers and Gordon. It shouldn't happen. But the team fought hard and played well for the most part in the 2nd half

I don't think anyone is defending Gordon over any other option. I think what they are saying is "Gordon's already in the game, no reason to have a guy come in cold and depend on him to win us the game."

It's illogical, but I believe that's the argument.

Those were problems but they weren't the only ones. This team needs to find an identity on offense - waaaayyyy too much hero ball - and they need to learn better rotating on defense and playing the screens better.

Really not a good night to be defending Eric Gordon. I'd just quietly stop posting if I were you. You know, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool then...", or something like that.

Was that 3 by Tyreke designed outta a TO ?

Right.. don't balem the poor defense Tyreke played in the first half. It's more than coaching.

He is a key piece to our championship. Can't get rid of him now.

Proud of our guys(except for Gordon/Rivers) for fighting back into this game considering the start. However, we could've won this with better play in the fourth.

AD JRUE AND REKE AWESOME

gordon terrible

Better trade Gordon or bench him.

So in an effort to make a comeback, we let Tyreke jack jumper up after jumper? Are u ****ing kidding me?

amino free throw shooting is GOAT

Gordon doesn't fit on this team at all. Tyreke outplayed him and there's not enough touches to go around. We just need a spot up shooter in that spot

So the Pelicans "best play" is to have Tyreke Evans launching 3's and jumpers. What a dumb team.

Now would be a good time to put your best 3 pt shooter in Monty...
