It only took Eric Gordon about 14 minutes of nearly consecutive (he was subbed out for like two minutes) game-time to score these 24 points. The remainder of the 36 total minutes he ended up playing saw him score 0 points. Whoops! Still, those 14 minutes were really sweet. He just kept scoring. His three-point…

Eric Gordon 23 Points Full Highlights (9/4/2020)
This is the fifth Eric Gordon vid I have made so far in the playoffs. For the whole regular season leading up to this, I made four. One of those was a 50-burger, which basically counts as two vids by itself, but still. What’s going on here? Gordon spends the entire season injured/sucking, and then…

“This might be the breakout game that he’s looking for,” says ESPN commentator Mark Jones after Eric Gordon hits two three-pointers in rapid succession to give him a blistering total of SIX WHOLE POINTS halfway through the first quarter. I’m all for commentators trying to manufacture hype and excitement, but trying to do it with…

Full Title of this video: “Eric Gordon 20 Points/8 Layups/1 Floater Full Highlights (8/29/2020)” The reason I didn’t put the full title of this video as the actual title of this video is because I know, personally, that if I stumbled upon a “highlight” vid that purported to show eight LAMEups, I would never, EVER,…

Eric Gordon, prior to tonight, had not been a good shooter in the Rockets-Thunder series. At all. 4-of-26 from three? According to my math (which is actually just me hitting random buttons in Windows’ built-in calculator while sobbing), that’s 15%. That is straight up booty. Not only is that straight up booty, that is straight…

Eric Gordon has been, as the kids say, “cheeks” lately. Cheeks is a reference to butt cheeks, I have learned. So when we say “Eric Gordon is cheeks” that means he plays like he’s just a butt that somehow can move and think. It doesn’t make sense to me but not much does these days….

“Utah nightclubs are boring,” Danuel House whined. “There’s a few chicks around but none of them seem interested in hanging out with us.” Tyson Chandler took a large swig from the expensive bottle of wine that was in his left hand, then took a larger swig from the expensive bottle of whiskey that was in…

I guess this is what Eric Gordon is on the Rockets for. If James Harden is playing like a collection of pubes (a bigger collection of pubes than the one attached to his chin), then Eric Gordon can theoretically step in and replace 50% of Harden’s production and 33% of Harden’s playmaking. I say “theoretically”…

The ideal Rockets offense, the one that optimizes everything, is for James Harden to dribble in place somewhere around the top of the arc for however long he wants (as long as it’s within the 24 seconds allotted by the NBA) before shooting a stepback three. Clearly, Eric Gordon doesn’t fit in this type of…

Eric Gordon takes his role on the Rockets very seriously. He knows that the goal of the Rockets’ system is to shoot as many three-pointers as possible, so what does he do? He goes out there and chucks threes. Even though he’s not shooting a great percentage this season (32%), he’s not going to let…
