Posted this on the Summer League thread.
It looks like Gordon has pulled his hamstring. He went to the hole and when he came down he immediately grabbed the back of his leg. The medical staff is taking a look.
Gordon limped off the court following the Clippers' 81-66 loss. This is what he had to say after the game.
"I hurt it pretty bad and don't know what is going to happen," Gordon said. "I'll see how it feels tomorrow." |

That doesn't sound good at all. He's probably going to miss the rest of the summer league  |

Yeah if he's saying it hurt pretty bad that's never a good sign but who knows with these professional NBA trainers. He also just be pessimistic toward the situation  |

Not worried about season ending injury. We just want to see him play summer league games which if his injury is anything other than mild, it'll probably cause him to sit out the rest of our...like 4 games lol but still. It's nice to see our guys play. |

| I tend to agree with 0918...We just can't catch a break..>Our dream of competing again in the Western Conference was just that, a dream...Which then completely turned into a nightmare when EB showed his true colors. When all of us thought that Smith or Okafor was our primary target, we get shocked with the news that the CLippers were trying to acquire Zach Randolph????THat doesn't bode well for us..looks like the Clippers staff just don't get it...Even at the press conference for Baron Davis, stupid Andy Roeser was asked if BAron was the biggest free agent signing ever and he screwed that up by saying "well up to this date it is a big deal but you never know what this summer holds" ...then Mike Dunleavy grabbed the Mike and basically looked at Roeser and said ABsolutley dumb ass, what the hell is wrong with you Andy." CLippers are cursed and for some reason we keep following them. |

| Everybody's concerns about injuries is another reason why we have to focus on the big time player coming in, but also rounding out our roster and getting deep so we can play through key injuries. |

| With our luck with the injury bug maybe a trade for a player is better for the team so the extra cap space can be used to deepen the bench. We are under the cap so salaries dont have to match for a trade. Our bench does need a lot of work. It would be nice get players with a bit more experience. Our starting lineup is pretty young. Might as well see if we get some veterans to come off the bench. Not high priced veterans. What do you think. Or should we go young all the way. |

| Dont you guys think a starting line up of BD,Gordon,Al,Jordan,Kaman is talented enough? I think our big problem is our bench like some of you are mentioning. But the starting line up IS NOT as urgent as you guys are claiming. Assuming no injuries and all goes well here is what i project. Baron Davis 22.5 ppg and 8.5 assists, Eric Gordon 16 ppg 3 assists, Al Thornton 18.6 ppg 8 rpg, Deandre Jordan 8.4 ppg 9 boards per game, Chris Kaman 20 ppg 13.6 rpg. Of course this is assuming great health and this starting line up. |

| Mobley will start at first. Once the clippers realize how old he is getting and how streaky he has been, Gordon will replace him 10 games in probably. Mobley simply cant get to the line 8-10 times a game Gordon can. Plus what can Mobley do Gordon cant? Mobley is a good defender, so is Gordon. Mobley can shoot, So can Gordon. |

gordon shouldnt be pushed. sure he will end the year as starter but i strongly belive in not forcing young kids cause it hurt their game. once he is used to things he will be a starter,
and mobely is way underrated. last year he and tim were injured 99% of the time so had off year0 |

| Underrated? Mobley got a big 5 year contract from us at 30 or 31 years old. He needs to perform now, same with Tim Thomas. Both have been a disappointment to us considering how well they did with previous team. That's the old fashioned Dunleavy's problem; He is against playing rookies much which hurts the team. So many times Wilcox should of been playing and he averaged like 13 minutes per game.. it's upsetting. I feel best players should play. Wilcox went on to average 13.5 points and 7 boards a game in 28 minutes last year for the sonics. Thats not looking so bad compared to our power foward situation now ?? BEST PLAYER SHOULD PLAY, AGE OR EXPERIENCE IS NOTHING. |

| Dude when Mobley and Thomas are both 32 or 33 years old now.. they are likely to keep getting injured ; ). That's what worries me. But yea if they are both healthy that deepens our bench a ridiculous amount. |

| There is an old saying that age and trickery will trumph youth and talent every time. Look at Sam. In other words part of being a good player is experience. Beginners tend to lack focus. and play with too much testosterone. A young shredder guitarist can play 10 notes real fast but BB King can play only one and say a lot more. Gordon needs to study at the College of Mobley first |

| We need Gordon's scoring off the bench. At least to start with. |

I agree. Gordon is already struggling a bit in Summer League. NBA games are going to be an even bigger step up. Eric coming off the bench will make it easier for him to make the transition into the NBA and will get a good feel for how things work. Look how well Thornton has progressed spending half the year as backup. At least so far he is shooting very consistently and looks to have so much more confidence in himself and his game. Eric will get that way by coming off the bench.
I even remember some of us saying a couple of months ago we were worried about Al starting and wanted him to come off the bench a bit more. Eric doesn't need the pressure of having to start and feeling like he has to be great every game. He has the potential, just let him grow into it. |

| Bagging on Mobley? He was the fine in 05-06 and 06-07. When we started with a 4-0 record in 07-08 it was because of Cat. Then he got hurt, but LAC rushed him back (cause we were thin) and it took months for him to heal. I think we are writing him off too soon. |
