Well that sucked. And that picture pretty much sums up the game. Eric fucking Gordon. I've always gotten the feeling that sneaky has one of the bigger egos in the league. Would love to see him play a full season for once, but damn when he's healthy he can flat out play. He had the lane, his jumper was absolutely lethal, and he flat out ran CP3 out of the gym. Kudos to him, have fun while it lasts Eric because you will undoubtedly be on the injury list again before the season is over, of that I am sure. The sun rises in the East, it sets in the West, and Eric Gordon gets hurt.
But in CP3's defense, Ryan Anderson killed us from behind the arc and we can't expect Chris Paul, Blake, and DeAndre to win every game for us. Jamal needs to play better off the bench, but it's not anything to worry about he'll bounce back. It would be nice if our sharpshooter didn't go 0-5 from three, but that won't happen much either. Aside from that we basically just got beat. Although I do wish Doc would have attacked the lane more. Usually when one of the most dominant post defenders in the league isn't playing you try to attack that vulnerability in a team, but we won't have to worry about that when he brings Thibs into the fold.
Game Note:
Austin Rivers had another solid performance coming off the bench. Pretty much the only reserve who played well today. I'm still cautiously optimistic right now, but if he can string a few more games like this together maybe he becomes a viable option off the bench.
Ballmer Mood Level:
Calm, collected. Not furious, not panicked. Pensive; deep in thought. A tough road loss against an up and coming team in the West. Nothing more to do than pack up, hit the road, and lace 'em back up for San Antonio tomorrow.
