Eric Gordon Was on a Bus With Clippers Season Ticket Holders When He Found Out the Clippers Traded Him
Eric Gordon wasn’t just at a “Clipper Event” Wednesday evening – he was riding a bus around LA with Clippers’ season ticket holders, reports Scott Howard-Cooper. While on the bus, the news broke that Gordon had been traded to the Hornets in the Chris Paul deal.
Awkward.
It’s unclear how he’s taking the trade – all Gordon has tweeted since the trade: “Wow.” Chris Kaman, another Clipper heading to the Bayou, says twitter knew about the deal before he did. Gotta love social media.
The good news for Gordon is that if he liked averaging 17 shots a game last season (22.3 ppg), he’ll love taking north of 20 shots a night with the Hornets. He might actually be a decent darkhorse pick to lead the NBA in scoring. Other than Trevor Ariza, who else is taking shots on that team? I would guess those two will take 60% of the team’s shots.

Michael Olowokandi was driving the bus.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
If they could have kept Gordon, this team could have won it all this year. It was still a good trade for them. They just need a few more pieces now.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
Sounds like the Bulls of the West, then.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Clips have a higher ceiling. Not a bad comparison, though.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
the Clippers have season ticket holders?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Was this a bus tour of celebrity homes?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Interesting. What’s your best guess at the Clips win total for this year?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Any doubt that a Tebow post is next?

December 15th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I say around the 42-45 range. Good enough for one of the last couple playoff spots in the west.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
And Darius Miles took your tickets before getting on.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Why couldn’t CRM’s 24/7 review get a morning spot on this site? I’m dying to it discuss with the masses.
Grandma Callahan made me cry.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Keanu and Sandra would make it a perfect bus ride then.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
so, what exactly is the point of a bus tour with a Clipper? is it mostly people that just couldn’t afford the Lakers Bus Tour with Gasol?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
I was about to question that then remembered that the season is only 66 games. Seems fair.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:44 AM
what the fuck is the 24/7 shit everyone is talking about?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Yeah, there were plenty of heartfelt moments. I just love how much the players care about the game, their teammates and community. Plenty of interesting personalities on display too.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
Oh please lord no
December 15th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
you kept making the stops?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
HBO show about Flyers/Rangers prior to winter classic.
unrelated, but Fuck the Rangers.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
people kept ringing the bell!
December 15th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
1 PM. The other place. Be there.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Giving up Gordon was full-retard.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Has this bit of Tebowness been discussed yet?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Me too. Hockey is fucking awesome. Fuck all the haters, especially Clown.
December 15th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Out by the bike racks?? FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
December 15th, 2011 at 10:59 AM
Oh damn, my brain went dead and forgot there was 66 games. Lower my win prediction.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I know understand why I have heard nothing nor know nothing about it.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
Oooo shit.
It is a joke that these trades are not discussed with the players before they get reported. I can’t state that enough.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:05 AM
I think the rest of us like baseball and basketball because the players openly hate their communities and their teammates.
/what?
December 15th, 2011 at 11:06 AM
Pretty sure basketball was the first league to have the “12 different cabs to the arena” thing going for it.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
After watching 24/7, it made me love Torts even more. Seems like the kind of guy I would want to fight in battle for.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:09 AM
I was honestly more impressed by Laviolette. Sometimes I forget he coaches that Carolina team to a Cup. He coached our Olympic team in 2006 at Torino, too.
Torts is a badass, there’s no mistaking that. The part where he went into the training room and messed around with his players by telling them they were soft was great.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:10 AM
What’s the other place? I don’t ever read 2nd City Hockey if that’s the place you’re referring to.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
The place I occasionally write about hockey for. The land of the misfit toys. I’ll tweet a link later.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
I miss Bruce Boudreau being on that show. I don’t want to like the Flyers coach, but damnit I can’t help it.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Has this bit of Tebowness been discussed yet?
I suppose it was just a matter of time. Catchier mash-up than this though. Yahweh-approved.
December 15th, 2011 at 11:50 AM
He’ll be a Pacer very soon, don’t worry.
December 15th, 2011 at 12:11 PM
The Hornets will have trouble breaking 20 wins this season, and won’t average enough in attendance to keep them from breaking their lease. So welcome the Anaheim Hornets to the NBA for the 2012-13 season.
December 15th, 2011 at 12:14 PM
the Clippers have season ticket holders?
Well, we know Simmons has season tickets, because he won’t shut up about it.
As punishment, Simmons should be made to run TMQ on Grantland every day.
