 | re: Is Trey Burke = Jarvis Jones? - ThePistol on 5/22/13 at 8:41 am
I actually kind of agree with this. We just don't know what the front office thinks of Austin Rivers going going forward. If they feel good with him, Burke cannot be the pick. Hell, maybe they don't think that highly of Burke. It's going to be fun speculating for the next few weeks though....

Agreed. Gordon has pissed us all off with his attitude but he is still very young and very talented. I know his injury history, obviously, but none of these deals make us better than we are with him. We need more assets in that Bledsoe deal to even consider it....

| re: More fuel to a Gordon for Deng trade? - ThePistol on 5/16/13 at 4:11 pm
I think a few things have to be considered. First, I would not consider it until we have an idea of who we would be able to pick with our pick. Second, an extension would have to be worked out with Deng prior to the deal getting done and he would have to be willing to take less than 14.5 per year....

I understand this and read that quote/article. There has to be a better option than Gordon standing in the corner though. Vasquez is not looking to get Gordon the ball. He is passing to others and if they don't have a dunk. he immediately runs and gets the ball. It blows my mind that Gordon had ...

I think AD will develop into a leader and I agree Gordon is not there yet. But I think it is absolute madness to run everything through Vasquez for 47 minutes then call on a guy who you have had standing in the corner all game to bail you out. I really feel that Gordon needs the ball in his hands ...

| re: This team will never make the playoffs with Eric Gordon and Monty on board - ThePistol on 3/17/13 at 8:39 pm
Gordon can absolutely be a primary scoring option on this team, especially as AD develops and Ryno continues to hit threes. The correct answer is Vasquez cannot be the primary scoring option as he has been recently. If Gordon had the ball half as much as Vasquez, we win tonight. ...

Our offense for the last two games has been Vasquez dribbles for 17 seconds, penetrates off a pick, passes, then runs to the player he just passed to and gets the ball back for a prayer at the shot clock. I know Gordon gets a lot of hate, but until he failed at the end he made good things happen wi...

Can someone explain to me why the strategy was have Vasquez take 25 freaking shots? Then when the game is on the line he calls Gordon's number. I mean I want EG to take the shot, he's by far our best option. But shit, he only took one shot in the second half to that point! He had no rhythm and n...

I brought up some of these thoughts last night after the game. The factors effecting EG's fourth qtr performance are many including: still getting into shape, hesitation and not fully trusting his teammates, and finally the long break he gets in the third/fourth qtr breaks all of his rhythm.
