Title: hornets tanking on purpose?
Post by: The Watcher on February 12, 2012, 04:33:15 PM
surely i can't be the only person thinking this. without eric gordon they have basically no chance and gordon has been out pretty much the whole season so far with a 'bone bruise'.

- manu broke a bone in his hand and returned
- brook lopez expected back right after all-star
- zach randolph expected back right after all-star
- eric gordon out indefinitely

.. what?

coming in last place won't hurt their chances of getting the #1 lottery pick, so i'm guess they have cut some deal with gordon. don't resign with us now, but wait and see who we get in the draft ..

.. nicolas batum has pretty much the the exact same injury (or as close as you can get.. every injury is different..) and is playing through it

they've gotta be keeping him out on purpose .. wait until there is no chance of them coming 2nd last and then bring him back

Would be messed up for Gordon if true.. when you are such a young nigga, you need to play and not sit out half a year just so your team can gobble some dick. Sick shit.

Mine too; luckily I drafted well enough that his loss hasn't impacted me much.


I want to see who ends up having a crappier record: the former Charlotte or the new Charlotte.

pretty sad..i wouldn't put this sorta thing past david stern, though. there's a reason he took the shitty clippers deal over the superior lakers package for "basketball reasons"
