Suns sign Eric Gordon
Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
A fun thing about Gordon is he spots up from 4-5 feet behind the line at times. He’s good enough from there that you still have to defend him and it just creates even more spacing.

To be fair, it would’ve cost them $120 to keep him next year. He’s very good but only about 10 players are worth that much in total actual cost.

Ya I don’t really blame the clippers for waiving him…just happy they did.

Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
I just hope we run teams off the floor. No more that "milk the clock" CP3 loves. Go back and play like the 7sol teams.
If I'm not wrong, Vogel Lakers excelled doing that, and we have all the tools to be better.
Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
Pretty much everyone we added likes to run…I think we’ll play fast
Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
Teams are going to pay this year if they decide to double. Our bench last year was absolute garbage.

Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
EG gives us home run ability now. He's a guy that can hit like 5-6 threes in a quarter and really extend a lead or put a team away. We know Book, Beal and KD can give you 30 on any given night and can get hot but that's more in the flow of a game. EG can be that point-a-minute scorer for us that leaves the other team just dizzy and disoriented after a few minutes. And that's still on top of having to deal with the Big 3 scorers. I really hope we lean into the offensive side this year. Like Furlan said, no more rolling/walking the ball up for a 75 second possession in the middle of the 2nd qtr. Just get the ball up court and let it fly.

I can't wait. I think it's going to be an exciting brand of basketball with lots of highlights.

In Ishbia we trust. The crazy thing is that every off-season, his desire to win at all costs is going to make for some amazing off-season excitement for the rest of many of our lives.

Hopefully it's publicly televised too. Robert Sarver being an absolute mutt and then selling this team to Matt is the best thing that could've happened.
I hate sarver for robbing us of years of bullshit. Fuck that guy.

Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
The thing is we will expect Book, Beal and KD to give us 30 pretty much every night. Any of the 3 can go for 50 on any given night.ShelC wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 3:59 amEG gives us home run ability now.

Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon
What’s wild is how much better this off-season has been, with so few avenues to improve at our disposal, than the last 2 under Sarver, where we had plenty of exceptions that just went to waste.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 9:41 amIn Ishbia we trust.

I don't think I've been this excited for the season to start since Backcourt 2000

That made me LOL. I hope it's not as much of a let down!
