those last two seasons and particularly the last one makes his PPG number look better than it really is.

I'm saying that Eric Gordon has never once proved himself to be worth any of the hype that some people on here give him.

He's a very good defender and should put up ~20ppg when he returns. There aren't many SGs that can do that in the NBA today. No one is acting like Jordan in his prime is sitting on our bench. A lot of people here dislike him. But we're not so fricking stupid as to say we want him to stay hurt. Three of our 5 losses have been by exactly 4 points. Our biggest issues have been scoring the ball (which EG is very good at doing) and perimeter defense (which EG is very good at doing). So, to sum your view up: we're a bunch of stupid homers for thinking he would make a significant difference, and you're right on top of this for hoping that he stays hurt forever while making $14m/yr on our bench. Got it.
