I just heard it on the radio (ESPN 1000) that Chuck Swirsky just called and said Gordon will be playing tonight against Boston.

:woohoo:

Great news but i hope he isn't so limited that he can't get around screens while chasing Allen.

As I said in the other thread, I just hope he's able to play well. We've seen how an injury has hobbled Salmons.

It's tough because people want guys to play through injury, but they often seem to think that they'll play at the same level and blame them if they don't. It might be a rough night for Gordon, so hopefully other guys can still help pick him up some if necessary.

Even better if Gordon comes out and looks really good. I'm sure they're injecting him with all kinds of crazy stuff to keep the pain at bay. Hopefully it doesn't make things for him worse and if it does, hopefully the Bulls reward him with a contract.

We'll probably use a lot of the man zone we did before which basically had guys switching on Allen every time he switched the court which really helped slow down the effectiveness of a lot of their screens and made Ray run three times as hard as the guy defending him to get open.

I don't think there was any doubt that Gordon would play tonight, it's just a matter of how affective he can be on the defensive end. It already hindered him a tad on the defensive end during the second half of game 4, how much will it affect him tonight.

I expect that Boston will go to Ray a lot early. I still expect Gordon to score at least 20 points tonight, well he better if we have any chance of winning.
