Unbathed, you have been completely owned in this thread. You keep saying the Clippers are such a joke, yet they used their #7 pick on Gordon and gave him $20 million. Hmmm... Now back to the Gordon Pity Party. :rofl: |

The Clippers true post man is Michael Kaman. Honestly, give it up BoilerVision. |

Give what up? The Clippers suck and Super Gordon is still a non-factor. |

They have Marcus Camby too. If the Clippers got healthy and started playing together, they have some good pieces. Camby, Kaman Baron Davis, Mobley, Al Thornton, and Ricky Davis is not a bad core. If Gordon could handle the point, he'd get more time, but right now he is not any better than Davis and Davis, and you don't give up on the season and play for the future on November 6th. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Don't look now but Sebastian Telfair is actually starting to show some promise. This is his 5th year in the league abd everyone (including me) has said he is fucking terrible (because he has been). That said, he's 22 now and still has 5 years until he hits his prime. Point? Gordon is 19. You can bag on him now if you like, but he has A LOT of time to become relevent in the NBA. |

I love conclusion jumpers based on a 19 year old's first five games in the NBA. Anyway, Greg Oden is now in his second season and he has shot 0% for his career. By comparison, Eric Gordon must be a God. |

I wouldn't call it a "conclusion", but my opinion of Gordon goes a lot further than just his first five games of the NBA. When I saw him in H.S. (a UI recruit at the time), I couldn't picture him being a factor in the NBA. I could see him being a great scorer for the college game, but didn't feel like he had the instincts to make his team mates better. My opinion didn't change last year, when he failed to elevate his performance in IU's biggest games. That is why I agree with Fallen's post that Gordon was vastly over rated. He got too much credit last year, and White got too little. Will Gordon ever be a factor in the NBA? It is certainly possible but I just don't see it. BoilerGrad referred to him as a selfish player. I didn't notice Gordon being selfish until the tail end of last season, and it's hard to say if his selfish play was him showing his true colors, or if he was just reacting to the frustration of IU's turmoil. He will have to learn to handle the ball much better and his court vision will have to improve dramatically. That is the only conclusion that I have come to. |

too bad the rest of us have come to the conclusion you are a complete moron. you are a complete corky - my point is not the clippers suck - they do. the point is Gordon is not getting any time to play by a shitty coach. THAT IS THE POINT MORON. |

So Gordon is the twefth-tallest midget, and his struggles are everyone else's fault, not his. Point taken. Poor guy. Edited by BoilerVision, Nov 7 2008, 10:28 AM.
