wow sons this guy is the BIGGEST WIMP IN THE NBA! I swear every time you turn around he is hurt again, or aggravated a previous injury, or hurt his pussy while putting his uniform on, etc., etc. What gets me the most though is that he still had the audacity to DEMAND a max contract of 5 years, 80 million after only playing 2 damn games for the Hornets and demanding it while still injured. sons this wimp has now missed 20 games in a row and has missed 46 games (and counting) over the last year of NBA basketball! the only solid year this wimp has had was his rookie year and he has spent tons of time on the bench with numerous injuries ever since.

2009-10: Injured for 20 games

2010-11: Injured for 26 games

2011-12: Injured for 20 games thus far and many more to come

sons do we have any takers for this wimp? what's with all the hype behind him anyways? the dude put up 22 PPG last season after only playing in 56 games and chucked the ball way too much and now all of a sudden some Hornets fans think this guy is right up there with D-Wade lol. we basically traded a ticking time bomb injured Chris Paul for another injury prone player and a couple of bench players. at least we still got the draft pick though :(

son but he was playing on the Clippers for the love of God and even then still did absolutely nothing to improve their team. son Jarrett Jack is one of the worst players in the entire NBA and even he is currently putting up 16 and 7 right now for the Hornets.

just because a player puts up solid numbers on a shitty team doesn't make them a star. Eric Gordon is a perfect example of this. he put up 16PPG during his first two seasons and then put up 22PPG last season when only playing in 56 games and some people were claiming he is a top shooting guard and he now wants D-Wade type of money.

My goodness - trying to act like the top pick in the draft shouldn't beat out a guy who can only dunk is just crazy sons and I would be terrified if I were a NO fan. That is just blatant facts.

then son what is Tim Duncan's excuse for not stepping up? I mean the age excuse would be lame considering numerous players have stepped up in their mid-30's on teams in the past for the U.S.. Since many like to try and claim that Duncan is the best PF of all time, you would think that he should be out there if physically capable.....

but then again the U.S. team is probably still embarrassed with him for that disgrace he caused the country in 2004 when he led the U.S. team to the bronze to be honest.

son I agree that Harden is better simply for the fact that he doesn't stay hurt like Gordon does. you don't have to preach to me about that. to be honest no offense to Harden is meant, but he just so happens to be the guy that beat Gordon out. its more so of a reality check to Gordon himself that he thinks his shit don't stink, yet nearly everyone around him knows it does.

as a matter of fact a little history lesson for you ... the last time the U.S. Olympic team shit the bed and embarrassed the country the way they did in 2004 when led by Tim Duncan was way back in 1988 when they also had another Spur legend David Robinson on the team.

They didn't win in 2002 & 2006 World Championships and 2004 Olympics.

After these 3 losses they came back to play with all their best players, Not only 2 or 3 at best. And they play like a team with respect for the rival. Something they never did in the 2002-2006 years.

"If Tim Duncan knew this was the system and how he was going to be treated in that sense, I think he would have thought seriously about not coming," said U.S. assistant Gregg Popovich, who also coaches Duncan and Ginobili on the Spurs.

A frustrated Duncan, who said that he is 95% sure his FIBA career is over and that "FIBA sucks," was asked if he felt his frustrations would deter other stars from playing in the Olympics. "I hope not," he said, "I'll try not to share my experience with anyone."

He valiantly lead Spain to an expected Silver medal. These numbers are eerily similar to his NBA production throughout the years. Why didn't Timmy duplicate his NBA success? Honest question because I've always thought Timmy was protected by NBA refs. With FIBA refs - not so much. Pau is called soft yet his game successfully translated to the FIBA referred games - like other star players' games have. Why is that?

Duncan was always in foul trouble and he was called for all sorts of fouls - offensive, defensive and ticky tack fouls. That's the reason why he didn't like the Olympics experience.

But at the end of the day, he had some pretty awful (selfish) players as his supporting cast and Larry Brown was as usual himself at managing players. He wouldn't dare play the youngsters and his defensive oriented style of coaching was another reason why they didn't win the gold.

Nice :downspin: but these are nothing but excuses. The "GOAT PF" should dominate International comp and didn't. Timmy was 28 and in his prime. If he were a TOSB I'd grudgingly understand. Here was his stat line:

12.9 ppg
9.1 rpg
38/67 FGAs
56.7% FGs
27/36 FTAs
75% FTs
1.25 bpg

LINK (http://www.usabasketball.com/mens/national/moly_2004.html)

Bottom line, Timmy was not protected by FIBA refs the way he's built a HOF career in the NBA. The stats reflect that fact. His FIBA numbers look nothing like his career NBA #s. I rest my case.

Eric Gordon to be limited in preseason workouts due to sore knee

wwltv.com

Posted on October 1, 2012 at 1:29 PM
Updated today at 1:33 PM

WESTWEGO, La. - Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon will have limited participation in preseason workouts due to soreness in his right knee, the club announced Monday.

Gordon, who played in only 9 of the Hornets 66 games last season, underwent arthroscopic surgery last season on his right knee and didn't return to full strength until the end of the season.
“The team is taking a cautious approach with Eric to give him the best chance to be ready for the season," General Manager Dell Demps said.

Gordon averaged just over 20 points per game in his limited work.

Gordon was a restricted free agent during the offseason and signed an offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns, famously commenting that his heart was in Phoenix.

The Hornets matched the offer of four years and $58 million.

All you have to do is look at Eric Gordon's history to see that he is a liar, injury prone, and has never been worth the hype and money that he thinks he is. Look up the cowardly way he handled his college situation by lying and you'll see he has always had a sense of entitlement thru the roof. The dude put up 20ppg ONE SEASON while playing on a shitty team and only playing in 56 games (before that he put up no higher than 16ppg) and ever since then hasn't been able to take a shit without hurting himself.

Tbh Demps made a mistake paying him large money. Should have saved that for Unibrow.

Also, regarding that CP3 trade... Gordon = injured. Aminu = :lol Kaman = in Dallas

Austin Rivers as well.

By the time Davis is a FA, Gordon's contract will have expired.

Plus, I'm glad Kaman is gone. He's terrible. One of the worst players in the league. He was a nice expiring contract that gave them some cap space to sign Ryan Anderson, Gordon and take on Rashard Lewis's expiring contract.

Fair enough... though if you ask me only Davis deserves the max. Rivers doesn't, but he could get big money if he pans out as a reliable scorer.

They're expecting Rivers to play PG long-term next to Gordon. He won't start this season, but instead be a 6th man type off the bench. I don't like Rivers all that much, but they needed a PG or a SF at that pick and no good SFs available.

Even with his contract, he is still a tradable player. Look at what Denver did with Nene - sometimes you sign guys to have trade assets. Could be similar. I actually think he is damn talented and they could have a solid core with him there (if healthy).

Or what Pop and RC did with RJ, or what it seems Ainge is doing with Jeff Green...

I agree. It would have been a waste to let him go to Phoenix for nothing. They have plenty of cap room to keep him, especially after this season.

New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon not likely to practice again this week

The New Orleans Hornets will continue to be cautious before putting shooting guard Eric Gordon back on the floor in the weeks preceding the Oct. 31 regular-season opener against the San Antonio Spurs.

MICHAEL DeMOCKER / THE TIMES-PICAYUNE Hornets guard Eric Gordon addresses the student body in the gym at Langston Hughes Elementary School during an assembly to promote good reading and and study habits on Thursday, September 20.Michael DeMocker / NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune

Gordon did not participate in any contact work during the first week of training camp, and Coach Monty Williams said Monday it's unlikely Gordon will see the floor much this week as well. The Hornets play three exhibition games in four days this week, beginning Tuesday night when New Orleans' hosts the Charlotte Bobcats in New Orleans Arena.

Gordon has missed practices with a sore right knee, the same knee that was arthroscopically repaired Feb. 14, an injury that caused Gordon to miss all but nine of the team's 66 games last season.

"We're going to limit him still," Williams said Monday. "I think we'll know more about Eric next week when we start to ramp him up a little bit on the floor. He's been involved in our walk-throughs. He's participated in a lot of our exercises. But I think we're erring on the side of caution right now."

Williams would not go as far as to say Gordon would see any contact work next week as the Hornets have only one game scheduled, Oct. 18 at Atlanta, and six practices on the calendar.

"I'd hate to say it and it not happen," Williams said. "Ideally, yeah, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen. I would say week after next would be a time when we'd probably get him out there and see what he can do a little bit."

I've been saying it all along about this wimp! most Hornets fans on other boards (not worth mentioning) bashed me for talking bad about him aka speaking the truth and claimed idiotic things like Gordon was going to be the next big star to break out ... and now you look at those same posters today and they have completely flip flopped their opinions and are saying things I said about Gordon a year ago.

all you have to do is look at this pricks history to see he is a classless, injury prone, overrated wimp. it started in his college days by the way he handled the Illinois/Indiana situation.

The sad part is he's really not even hurt. Doctors have cleared him. He just isn't playing. He's doing the the same thing Baron Davis did back in 2005. Faking little injuries here and there and end up making the team sick of him and trading him.

He was a RFA last year and played in only 9 games.

I don't think he's that hurt. Doctors have cleared him. Either he's faking it or he can't take a little pain.

Son Eric Gordon is a liar and a coward so I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he is faking his injury. Just look at how he handled his college situation lying to Illinois and what not. He has a well documented history of being ... let's just call it like it is ... a piece of shit.

Demps should have traded him before Gordon signed his deal with Phoenix. Teams like Houston would have given a decent return. Now Demps has little leverage. Dude is not hurt. Demps is just trying to keep his value high.

He was healthy enough to try out for team USA 3 months ago and he was the last player cut, which means he was playing well enough to impress the coaches. Now all of a sudden his knee is sore? He's obviously faking.

Sons I'm on my phone so unable to provide link, but I just read this wimp has been offered micro-fracture surgery as an option and he turned it down AKA he's not truly hurt. What a classless, arrogant, no good piece of shit. I hope he suffers a legit career ending injury the next time he touches a basketball.

The Hornets DESERVE this however (and most of the fans) for buying into this phony whenever anyone with a brain not wearing homer glasses could see straight thru this low life. All of the warning signs and red flags have been there since day one with him. Nearly a year ago I said on numerous occasions that signing Eric Gordon would be worse and a bigger mistake than the Peja contract and would cripple this franchise for several years. I was mocked and ridiculed for that statement (and many other comments about Gordon), but now those same people that did so are singing a very different tune today. What a damn shame. I like Demps, but he should lose his job over this.

Son I'm sure he's also looking to restructure his new contract as well for more money. I mean after all he did put up 22PPG one time a couple of years ago while playing in 56 out of 82 games and stat padding on one of the worst teams in the NBA at the time so he is clearly worth it.

4-6 weeks now apparantly AKA ...

"No! No! No! .... I don't need surgery. I'll be back in about 6 weeks sometime around mid to late December and I'll play for a few weeks before the trade deadline ... but if I'm not traded then I may get hurt again! Just sayin!" - Eric Gordon

6 weeks is December 14th. The first day Gordon can be traded is December 15th. Put two and two together. On December 15th he can traded anywhere except for Phoenix where he can't be traded at all during his current contract.

Actually, that restriction only lasts for a year. They can send him to the Suns next July, if they want. What may matter more is that they have to get his consent to trade him anywhere this year. So he can prevent them from getting the biggest return if it's being offered from a team like the Bobcats or something.

We'll see how badly he wants to leave.
