Which Clipper do you think will have the better game during tonight's Rookie Sophomore Challenge?

I'm personally rooting for the Rookies and hoping that Gordon will be MVP, but I think that Thornton will have a better opportunity on the offensive end to put up bigger numbers. Out of the sophomores he has been number 2 in scoring behind Durant since last season and should have less competition in getting opportunities to score as opposed to EJ.

Hope EJ gets MVP!

EJ will probably come off the bench. But considering this game is all about dunks and 3's, I still give EJ the edge to have a better game tonight than Thornton.

Gordon gets the start over Mayo. Good call, Wade.

Gordon for 3 to start things off for the Rooks.

Followed by an easy lay in that he should thrown down! EJ has the Rookies first 5 points.

Make that the first 7 Rookie points by EJ.

Assist from EJ to Sergio on the 3 ball. Beasley ties the game and scores the first FG that isn't scored or assisted by our boy Gordon. Gordon for 3 again to put the Rookies up.

Gordon = ROY

This one is a toss up for me. Gordon has slightly better numbers right now.

its a wrap, durant got it

Congrats to Gordon he had a very efficient game overall. Thornton brought it in the first half, but tapered off from there. Still it was great to see our guys represent for the Clips during All-Star Weekend.

It would have been nice to have seen the rookies hold onto the game but Durant was too much for them. Beasley was too much for the rookies as well :lol:

Beasley was good, but hes also a ballhog. I wanted to see Gordon takeover, but its nice to see Durant take it for the sophmores. Gives Oklahoma City a bright spot to their season.

Looks like Gordon had a better game than Thornton. I think Thornton trailed off in the second half because they sophomores were basically giving the ball to Durant. I'm not sure if Al even got to take a shot.

I was hoping that Gordon would have got 20 but he missed a free throw and he missed that last layup. This type of game is Thornton's last unless he becomes an all star caliber player. Gordon will have another shot at this game next season and hopefully we'll be talking about Gordon being an all star.
