Receipts
What the room said about Aaron Gordon, verbatim: the highest-scoring comments in each class.
Exhibit 01Negative.no flair Exhibit 02Negative.MEM flair Aaron Gordon was elite in that Golden State game but that 4th quarter tonight was legit one of the worst quarters of basketball anybody has played this year. Multiple times he had the chance to make an entry pass to Jokic and he couldn't do it bc he was scared of Grant or Kris Murray tipping it, multiple braindead turnovers, multiple bad fouls - everything was disastrous for him
Exhibit 03Negative.GSW flair Get fucked Gordon lol, salty has been
