Yes sir, I watch games. The only thing comparable to Gordon and Harden is the money they make. Harden will either be first or 2nd team all-NBA this year on a team that will likely win 55-57 games and you think it's because he flops? do you watch the games, my man?

without the floptories it'd probably be more like 40 wins

I see I need to break it down.

The guy said he would be "a hyped up player also." I didn't take that to mean Harden's equal.

I'm not debating that at all. He's a very good basketball player.

He does flop, but that wasn't the point at all. Flops aside, the guy gets a lot of calls that Gordon absolutely does not. Driving to the basket is one of Gordon's big strengths, but he gets lots of no-calls. As I stated previously, this results in less points and a lower shooting percentage. Gordon would probably be putting up at least 19-20 if he got anywhere near the calls that Harden does.

I watch Pelicans games. Hence why I am on a Pelicans board. I didn't see your avatar on my phone and didn't know you were a Rockettes fan.

Yeah I responded with regard to Harden because the guy is a Rockets fan and he undoubtedly gets a ridiculous number of touch foul calls. Gordon has been a solid player this year. If he was just getting a few more calls which he by the way has deserved he would be a hyped player on the Pelicans.

Right now it is all about Davis and Evans. Then you hear about how Holiday and Anderson are hurt. Gordon has been an afterthought that has only been mentioned in trades and about his contract. My biggest criticism about Gordon is I think he should be a big closer for the money he gets paid; however, people are dead wrong about the guy not being a solid starter.

The team has been extremely successful with Evans playing with two guards recently (so more of a SF role defensively). I don't see why playing him with two strong players in Gordon and Holiday wouldn't also be a dramatic improvement compared to Roberts and Morrow.
