re: Gordon will get used more at the end of games.

Let's be honest. Part of our fanbase were attacking him from the moment he he got here and showed that he was upset he was traded. Had that "my heart is in Phoenix" quote never came out, people would still be criticizing him. Especially if he sat out even longer this season than he did. That quote didn't help his case at all. But even if that never happened, there would still be pressure from the fanbase to play him.

no one is gonna be happy with a max player that can't get on the court...one injury, ok...but when it gets to the point where he is always hurt and it's been two seasons, the situation is aggravating to fans.

His Phoenix crap undeniably made the situation much worse, but i agree with you. Fans would be agitated regardless about the star player playing 40 games in two seasons.

99% of people understood him being upset when he was traded. No one held that against himin fact people were hoping once he got here he would see we would embrace him.,I don't really think fam base was in attack mode from day 1.

Ya, i don't think it was Gordon's initial reaction so much as it has been his constant injured status coupled with the Phoenix comments.
