I heard Manu is also out for this game.
This guy is a joke. He can't deal with the pain. He doesn't have anything really wrong other than soreness and inflammation from the surgery months back. Nothing else is wrong. He just can't play through some mild pain. Weak ass .
I heard Manu is also out for this game.
Who's the bigger China Doll, Gordon or Rivers? Its gonna be annoying having to watch those two vaginas and a up like Aminu every night. Add Vasquez to those clowns.
Yeah, Pop knows that Cornerstone is never healthy so he decided to give Manu an early rest.
lol Phoenix lucked out
GOOD

New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon will be out indefinitely, Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday morning, though neither Williams nor Gordon could shed any light on the severity of the right knee problem that kept the team's max money player sidelined through the entirety of training camp.
Gordon was instructed by a member of the Hornets' media relations staff not to speak with reporters and was escorted to the locker room after shoot around by the team's security chief.
"He's going to be out," Williams said. "The way I understand it, he's going to be out indefinitely until we get some more clarity on what's going on so I don't have to answer these questions every day and give you guys the update. We'll just go from there."
Rookie Austin Rivers will start Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs at the two-guard spot.
Gordon began full-scale contact workouts with the Hornets on Sunday, after mostly walk-through participation up to that point.
On Tuesday, he said "there are no guarantees" he'd play against the Spurs and he was still experiencing pain in the right knee, which was cleaned out arthroscopically on Feb. 14 last season. Gordon played in only nine games in last year's lockout-shortened season.
To Gordon's expressed chagrin, the Hornets matched a four-year, $58 million max-money offer Gordon, then a restricted free agent, received this summer from the Phoenix Suns and have expressed a desire to make him the foundation of the team's rebuilding effort.
Williams was uncertain what Gordon's current symptoms were, whether there was swelling in addition to the pain Gordon said he was having on Tuesday.
"He probably does feel pain; that would be the only reason why a guy can't play," Williams said. "For me to try to read an MRI . . . .I'll find out more as we go forward. I try to not get into all that because that would just make me upset."
Williams said on Monday he would check with team physician Dr. Scott Montgomery to ascertain if playing Gordon would cause additional damage.
"I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?
"I'm sure it's got to be medical. A guy just can't not play. It's got to be medical. At this point of the year, everybody is excited to play. I'm sure it's medical."
Williams said his loss hurts.
"It's more than a blow," Williams said. "It is what it is. At the same time, you guys have been with me here through my coaching tenure and it's always been like this. I'm well-prepared for these kinds of experiences. It's one of those situations that, talking about it and complaining about it isn't going to help it. It's an unfortunate situation. I'll give you guys information as I get it."
Williams said he was unsure what the next course of action was regarding further rehabilitation of the injury.
"I'm not going to do this every game," Williams said. "Like I told you: he's not playing. He's out indefinitely. I'm not going to go down the script of like, 'OK, this is what we're going to do.' It doesn't matter. For me, he's not playing. And it's just one of those situations that that's all we have. And we have to move forward from there."

Eric Gordon out vs. Spurs. Monty: "The way I understand it, he's going to be out indefinitely, until we get more clarity on what's going on
poor Pelicans
Suns dodged a bullet when NO matched that offer sheet.
Wow, I missed a few rounds and the autopick took Gordon in my Fantasy draft, tbh..atrocious..
Yep, and Sunfan was actually mad that they didn't get this Brandon Roy replica.
Let's get the regular season championship started.
Bowen dun believe spurs can 3peat but I gotta faith in the defending regular season champs
I just can't wait to see Bonner off the bench, turning the game into a 6 on 4 matchup. I can't wait for Neal to come in for Parker, nuking any type of run that is going. I can't wait til Blair comes in with his emo ways, struggling to get rebounds through the tears. And I can't wait til all 3 are on the court at the same time, creating a perfect storm of tiness.
Old Man Timmeh should rape this front line.
Aw cmon, Davis shouldn't get superstar calls yet....
I spy with my little eye Bonner getting ready to come in
Bench is sucking so far.
lmao Bonner. How about that defense?
this team sucks. It's so demoralizing watching Neal and Bonner be one of the first of the bench
This bench is a real pile without Manu.
Its hard to watch Neal and Bonner on court at once
